if you had a completely standard RS4 B5, wich mods would you do, and wich ones do you think that are a must ?
I know that some will say that we should leave it standard, but that´s not the point, imagine that we want a really well moded RS4.

first question you have to ask.whats my budget

If I were to do it again it would be:
Brakes
Suspension
Exhaust
Remap
Quick shift
And leave it there.

agreed dave but it becomes an addiction doesnt it

Amen to that one Jimbo fun but expensive though

put aside at least 5k for parts on top of the car

brakes and a remap have to be a priorty on the b5

Brakes
ARBs
Exhaust
Custom Map

Job's a good 'un.

Tanoga
ARB's
Brakes
Exhaust
Custom Map

MAF, diverter valves and health check.
Suspension and ARB's- now 10 years old and 1600kgs+ to lug about.
Brakes- 1600kgs+ to drag down from usually excessive speeds- and they weren't brilliant to start with.
Exhaust.
Short shift and DTS- tightens up the gearshift experience which is usually a bit of a throw and quattro gives you driveline shunt as rear drive is dis-engaged on braking/accelerating. ESP Engineering working on it.
Wheels- any dcent, light aftermarkets with corected offset- avoid the standard wheels unless you want to be knocking on the Audi Warranty counter on a regular basis, hard or soft.
Custom map- enjoy the other mods in context- 380bhp isn't exactly weedy if you've got all the ponies present and correct from the outset (see first mod)
And the J is D.

A good Summary Steve, have to echo all of your comments esp MAF and DV's - and probably add a new N75 valve to that list.

Without highjacking this thread does anyone have a contact number for ESP as I'd be interestined in getting a DTS / Brace but their domain name has expired.

Their number is 01892 613292 - if you're lucky, Liam may still have one in stock, but parts were just a sideline and they seem to have stopped producing them.

Worthwhile mod though.

Does the MAF used to give a lot of troubles?
Wich diverter valves are the best to use ? AWE?APR? other?
Wich HR ARB´s ? 32/17mm or 32/21mm ?
Wich is the best/price short shifter ? does the JHM worth the money ?
How much do they(ESP) ask for the DTS/Brace ?

Thanks all

yes,
710n,s
32/21
jhm
esp have stopped doing this sideline for a while to get on with other stuff, think phillip walker was a distributer for them try contacting him. have a read of this link
