I have a stock 2003 A4 with only air intake mod, Diablosport pred.(for what little its done) and straight exhaust, 273 rear end (need to swap for shorter one!!). What kind of modifications and power increases can I expect if i spend 5000........10,000.....? Just looking for ideas.

Will you be doing all your own work(tuning not included), or will you require a shop to install the mods?

A supercharger is within that price range (including supporting mods), will give stock driveability, near stock fuel economy, and is the most fun you can have without dropping your pants
