Just get a stall or something. Don't waste your money on a TB because all it's gonna do is screw up the way your tranny shifts. (make the shifts softer )
Ok. My '96 T/A A4 'Vert is bone stock, can you elaborate on the airfoil? I've seen a G2 airfoil advertised, is that what you're referring to? Can you tell I'm basically a Newb?

The airfoil is basically a piece that fits in your throttle body that is supposed to improve airflow. Whether it does or not is another question. I wouldn't spend money on G2 stuff because personally I think it is a tad overpriced. Hypertech sells an airfoil for 25 bucks or so (I think).

Its worth a shot, but for the most part doesn't do much. Has anybody ever dynoed before and after an airfoil???

Hey, 2rwhp is 2rwhp (gotta start somewhere) and an extra rwhp per $12.50 is great. Thanks for the info!!!

The TB was one of the first few mods i did to my car. At the time, I was kind of annoyed because it was a lot of money and i only had problems with it. (caused slight binding in the the throttle linkage) Now that I'm cammed, I can't really be sure it has significantly helped, but i still don't think it's worth it. For the price of a TB, put the money towards headers.
