What do you want? 400bhp, 500bhp or 650BHP?
When people stop bringing us broken S4s we'll be able to update the webpage

How much would it cost to get to 400/450 bhp? If you already had a amd remap, miltek 3" cat back, k&n induction kit, bailey rdv's, 18" wheels. Also i'm thinking of going for the downpipes with sport cats or suspension(h&r coilovers) What would be best to do first out of the 2.
Thanks, i'm just curious as i would like to get all these thing done to my car wallet permitting

S4-99, The 18" wheels wont do much for your bhp I'm afraid, and the amd remap will need remapping, and is part of the upgrade, to get up to the power you're looking for.
You need to be looking at K04 turbos and RS4 intercoolers as a starter, plus remap, budget at least £3,500.
If you're going to be driving it hard and/or tracking it, then put RS4 oil cooler on your shopping list too.
You'll also need some decent brakes if you want to stop!
There's loads more you can do of course - depends on the wallet.
Out of the other 2 options, personally I would go for the suspension first.

Mikeyquattro, The people at MRC are really nice guys but their main business activity is tuning and fixing cars, and unfortunately not interest free banking!

Well, I dont want to go too off-topic here Mikey, but there's no reason why they shouldnt tie up with a finance company and offer credit, but it wouldnt be cheap and you'd be better off using your credit card or overdraft

My life would not be worth living if the wife found out!
I plan to visit MRC for a remap as soon as i can afford it as everyone on here rates them VERY highly.
I can get away with £500. No chance with £4k+

Go for it Mikey! If you can get away with £500, spend it at MRC for a retune - the Mrs wont even notice a thing, well not from the outside anyway...

She moans that i drive too fast anyway!!
And the c/c is on the limit due to Chrimbo.

One of my work's supplier is at the same trading estate, so i'll have to think of a reason to go there for a meeting!
Sorry Neil that ive gone a bit off topic. I'm a lttle envious that you can you can spend some money on your car.
Lucky bugger!

Somone on here once had the bright idea of taking the wife out to Banbury for the day, and parking in MRC's carpark...! Try it, she'll love it...
