    Afternoon!

    Picking up my first audi tomorrow, jus bought an 2005 a4 (b7 i believe) tdi 140 s-line, been looking for one for a few month now and have dropped on a real beauty.

    Its an s line model with 6speed 140bhp model, full service, 67,000 miles full mot and tax.

    Im on here as im going to do a little bit of work to it, nothing major just a few nice touches, will update with pics when i get it as im going to have a little photoshoot to keep a portfolio of it. Also to check what other people are doing and the styles that are moving the scene forward

    Here is a previous car i modified for show purpose, http://www.astraownersclub.com/vb/sh...d.php?t=206520

    Few snaps taken at the weekend with my Iphone






    Went to local tuning place to enquire about a remap and was told i could get around 180bhp and 300torques so that sounds gud enough to get me started

    Hi

    A sensible remap is going to take you from 140hp to 175hp, and your torque from 300NM to 395NM. These are the safe limits for your engine. Beware if anyone is pushing the boundaries more than that for your car and its age.

    Feel free to contact me if you want a chat about it. I'll be happy to help.

    Thanks Paul, to be honest I dont know much about engines and tuning I just went with what the bloke from the garage had to say, im trying to get my self away from previous cars were I have just put on the biggest air filter that fitted lol.

    Going to make a proper job of tuning and adding my own style to this audi, so any information on tuning the 140 TDI engine would be great
