There is something you can do and here is what I did.............
I have done almost all of Mance's mods on my 12v.
Following is a dated list of them:
7/24/03 - Installed Mance's Cold Air Induction System & Velocity Stack (Also took out MAF screen). Seems to have more power between shifts, revs easier, and more power in the upper RPM ranges.
9/13/03 - Installed Mance's Stage 3 MAF & Stage 2 Hose Kit. Better RPM response and seems to be louder. That slight hesitation also seems to be smaller at the shift points.
3/22/04 - Just purchased a used TB for a 1995 A6Q AT from Pam's Auto in MN for $75.00. I will send this in to Mance as a core charge to purchase the XTB `Special TB': 707 CFM.
Part # B5 048 078 063P.
3/26/04 - Replaced regular VS with Stage 3 Velocity Stack (S3 VS).
4/8/04 - Installed Mance's rubber O-Ring in the orifice of the S3 MAF (I put in the largest diameter as per his instructions).
8/6/04-Ported and polished my Intake Manifold, had it installed along with the XTB `Special TB'
My own estimate on the HP gains would be somewhere between 25-50.
4/8/05 - Solid Strut Mounts installed.
7/9/05 - Generation 2 Strut Bar & Solid Strut Dust Caps.
5/18/06 - Upgraded to 200 TQ Master Cylinder -
30-40% larger than what replaced it. Much better stopping power but with less pedal pressure. A Mance suggested upgrade.
2/2/07 - Got ride of my 2 piece drive shaft and saved 15 pounds by installing a 1 piece drive shaft.
Mance is your best bet on mods for the 12v. He sells direct via email. Look for the screen name VAP and click on "Posted by: VAP" and his email pops up.
You must put Audi in the Subject Line or you will get deleted. He gets something like 200+ emails/day.
Hope this gives you some idea of what is available.
Here is his web site:

Please be patient, he is very, very busy now that he has retired.
He is currently (May, 2007) engineering strut housings for B4 body styles. Follow along with his posts on the 80/90 forum.
Email me off-line if you want further input.

The first thing you should do is a tune-up...
Replace spark plugs, all filters, clean your intake/tb, water decarbonization, fuel injector cleaner, etc.
But as these guys said, Mance is the person to contact for intake mods.
