Just got My Z today Time for some FI fun
So I just bought my brand new 2014 Z with Sport Package today. Its an A7.
What mods should I do to the engine, and Tranny before I go FI. I'm thinking I wanna go Twin Turbo or if I can find a good STS I'll go with it. Also need help with what traction mods to go with other then tires. |

Auto or Manual?
$2500 for labor is probably on the low side for a TT install As far as I'm concerned there are really only three options: TT - Fast Intentions (above your $8k budget) ST - Boosted Performance (Manual only) SC - Stillen $5,000 in supporting mods is probably only going to get you the FI supporting mods (i.e. clutch/radiator/gauges/heat management/etc.). If you want suspension and other mods that will be more. Last edited by jwick; 04-03-2014 at 03:45 PM. |

Its an Automatic.
If it goes over budget by 1K I'm not going to be too mad. Just can't way over budget because I still have to buy my girlfriend our 2 year anniversary gift next month. |

I went with Boosted Performance but you have an AT so that one is out. |

I think most guys ditched STS kit that had it. The 7AT just needs line pressures increased to help hold 5th,6th, and 7th together. I say help because I still wouldn't be heavy footed out of fourth gear when boosted. The 5 and up gears just can't take it.
There are a few upgrades that could help a little but not worth it IMO. I ended up getting a M6 boosted instead of boosting my AT becuase to do it right for me wasn't cost effective. Browse around and search a little there is a lot of information you need to read before going in head first.
