Imagine, your on your way to work and all of a sudden your Audi start billowing smoke from the tailpipes. What are you options? Maybe your turbo is still good but your looking for an upgrade. Well here is my list of possible turbo upgrades for your B7 A4 Platform.

Lets say you would like to keep your turbo stock. There are a few reasons why you may want to keep your factory KO3 turbo. For instance, most stage 1 tunes are meant for the stock turbo. But maybe you just don’t want travel down the rabbit hole. In either case, the best option for this would be having a reputable shop rebuild your turbo. The company I use is Gpopshop because of their expertise in the industry. They also have access to stronger aftermarket parts that increase the reliability of your turbo.

What if you’re looking for a little more pull, a little more power, and a more intense hit of boost. In this case, you can upgrade to a KO4 turbocharger. CTS Turbo makes a comprehensive hit for this upgrade. The reason for this is because you can’t just slap in a bigger turbo and expect the car to drive the same. When you upgrade to a KO4, your car also needs S3 injectors for the fuel system. In addition to a tune that compensates for the larger turbo and increased fuel.

Finally, we have what I call, THE turbo. This kits so expensive and rowdy, I have never actually seen it in a build. JH Motorsport’s stage 3 kit has everything you need to completely max out the stock internals of the 2.0t FSI. But the best part is, the kit can be pushed much further than the stock engine. Depending on what you have done to your B7, installing this kit could cost you anywhere between 3-7 thousand dollars. But if your in the market for those smiles per gallon, no other kit will have you smiling all the way to the bank.
