If you already have low profile tires, then check out the Revo software, trial, suppose to be free, and typically, new exhaust, to get more air moving from the turbo.

Any pics to share?

It is a free demo - not full version. It disables itself.

Going with an APR chip, DV, and downpipe will gain you a ton of power for the cheapest amount of money. I just post this all in another thread, but you should check these out as well...

Some links to get you wondering:

I have GIAC 1+ & am extremely pleased w/ zero negative issues. RS4 rear sway bar is a good & cheap mod for handling. N249 valve bypass is a nice (& free) mod. If you do any software upgrades, then the Audi TT 225 diverter valve will come in handy.
