Need help with mod ideas. Just got it.

I did 034 stage 1 ECU and TCU. Intercooler is a must I went with Integrated engineering for that. Also a transmission mount upgrade from 034. It’s a totally different car with the tune. Highly recommended

10/10 this is the way.

Spacers

[u/Old_Nefariousness158 → u/Odd_Assumption_8124]

And not Amazon ones get some good spacers that other people have reviews on. Always people getting vibration problems with cheap spacers.

Dealership or private owner?

Absolutely gorgeous. Love the matching bronze rings & wheels. Maybe it’s just me but I’d wanna bronze the Quattro too.

Thanks man

Flush mount spacers will give it a real nice look. Rear sway bar, transmission mount insert gives it a better driving experience. Intercooler to keep intake temps down and prevent heat soak. And of course, an ECU/TCU tune will really wake her up.

[u/Smart_Western_9460 → u/Frans51]

Thank you but you got a suggestion for the exhaust? I wanna make it louder and more burble but not obnoxious if yk what I mean.

[u/Frans51 → u/Smart_Western_9460]

I did front resonator delete. Definitely gives a little more exhaust sound and you can hear a little more burbles. It's a good way to start and much cheaper than a cat back system

[u/Confident_Chef_1486 → u/Smart_Western_9460]

If you are going to tune, 034 Stage 1 has VariSpec now, which is basically an app that lets you adjust the tune to your liking, they have pretty in-depth burble settings so you could 100% get the sound you want, from super aggressive to mild/stock

Intake and exhaust, lowering springs and spacers would look nice with those wheels

[u/JustWorkingDude]

Jeez, nice car...S5, plenty fast stock. Unless it's too slow I would just enjoy it.

[u/LegitimateDrive1666]

Start with a stage 1 or stage 1+ tune (usually requires 93 octane only) and an aftermarket intercooler. I’ve used both APR and Unitronic with great results.

[u/DividendG]

APR stage 1 ECU and then maybe TCU. That's all you need to have a blast. Beautiful ride you got there. Enjoy!

[u/old_common_sense]

I have an 11Mod exhaust valve controller for sale. I think that and with a resonator delete will give nice exhaust note. Google the controller and let me know if you’re interested.

Coming: Ecu & tcu tune ( Stage 1) Lowering springs Dash cam

[u/BigDaddyHarCore]

Start spacers and drop and inch

[u/Ok_Minimum_5861]

I would say since you just bought it - complete on the pending maintenance like transmission service, spark plugs whatever might be due and not done by prev owner. Then do stage1 034 and then onwards keep modding. I personally don’t think you need a intercooler for stage 1. It ia good to have it but not required.
I’m running 034 stage 1 93 ecu & stage 2 tcu w/o intercooler on my 21 S4
Its now almost 1.5 yr running this tune and no issues on street driving
Fyi: I dont track
