> [@FS: 2000 Audi A4 1.8T ONLY $7500!!!](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fs-2000-audi-a4-1-8t-only-7500/50168/6): > > sorry for the late response… > > I have heard about the tranny’s in these years, so I am planning on getting a spare tranny just in case. As far as spare parts, i got 4 brand new pirelli run flats. Car also came with alpine 500w mono amp, 10" type r sub, and type r speakers. Pretty please with the sound quality. Car’s going to be mostly a dd so i’m not looking for any crazy ridiculous power. **Possibly just a bigger turbo though.** I love the sound of the BOV but I have read reviews that it makes the car run not as well, but the way it is now it runs just fine. The only problem with the car is that it needs an O2 sensor. The guy had a scanner when he brought the car and showed me the codes. I also have a friend who knows a lot bout subaru’s, said to not worry bout the accessport and have his friend tune it. He said that he got 30hp out of the tune he got. So I may try that first before spending $600… > > As of right now, I just want to fix any cosmetics or any other looks on the car before dumping money into the motor. If it isn’t broke, i figure i’ll jus leave it alone for now. There is soooo much more to “just a turbo upgrade” and swapping out a snail. And on an engine that blows up on stock turbos with bolt ons and agressive tunes, even a bigger turbo (and supporting hardware) with a lax tune will still be pushing the limits hardcore with that motor. Big turboing a subaru is more an all or nothing comitment than many other platforms. The turbo may be only $700, but the injectors, fuel pump, up pipe, down pipe, wastegate, intercooler, charge piping, tune, oil & coolant lines, etc cost 2-3 times that to get it running. Then cross your fingers the ringlands done crack off and take the bottom end out and make you drop another $2000+ in parts and machine work. Then clutch and flywheel to hold the power. Its a shitty cat and mouse game. If you are not prepaired to just cut to the chase and shoot the mouse with a shot gun as soon as you see it, you will hate battle. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-ride/264506)._
