Teaching an old dog some new tricks
Written by Dion on May 19, 2009 – 2:17 pm -Flynn had one goal in mind for his 1997 Audi A4 1.8T, and that was to give it a performance make-over that would put this earlier-modeled B5 A4 among the rest of the “Achtuned” B5 A4s out there.
An APR ECU upgrade , a Techtonics Tuning turbo-back exhaust, and a Stasis Streetsport Suspension were all ingredients for Flynn’s plans to revive his A4 into a car he’d enjoy driving even more on a daily basis. The ECU had to be sent directly to APR for the upgrade so while the car was here waiting for the return of it’s new brain we decided to tackle the other performance upgrades.
