Just to say hello and thanks for having me, added a pic of my A4, only had it 4 weeks, been a Golf man until then (still have the Golf though).

Had it Superchipped by S.A.S. in Shrewsbury after the first week, only to 177, bit better now but would like to know if a 'performance' i.e. Pipercross / K&N etc are worthy panel air filter upgrades, i've read these run just as well with the standard paper type - don't want to go induction kit due to the extra noise, would the low end throttle response be any better or is it just down to being a heavy vehicle?

Hi Marcus...welcome to the Forum

The car looks great! Superchip is the best place to start for performance upgrage and the panel filter is definitely a good move as allows more flow with better filtration and long lasting. Just ensure it is kept clean periodically and also the sticker is on the air box in case a mechanic throws it and replaces with a paper one.

Let us know how the mods work out.

Cheers,  Trevor
