How Do These Mods Sound?

Alright... I made a air box using attomica's templates. So I am gonna use that with a K/N Filter, Headlight Cover, RB Header, Presilencer and A Turbo Catback, along with a 50 shop of nitrous.

This is for a S5 AUTO VERT.

How much power can i expect?

Those don't sound like mods at all. Mods usually sound like this:

"If you people can't keep it civil, I'm going to lock the thread!"

"You seem to forget I'm a mod. Your *** is banned for a week."

"So I'm drunk. So WHAT, smartass. There's no law against moderating drunk!"

What will break my tranny? My car has 40k miles on original engine. Right now the car is all stock. So what mods will help my COVERTIBLE. I just want something civilized. I was able to keep up with a VW Golf Turbo.

If it's a GTI and you plan to stay N/A with your vert'.... good luck. They're pretty quick (My dad has a VR6). 1 hell of a port job, a lot of weight redux, and a nice, flowing air-system (Intake, Exhaust) and you might....

the power... RB exhast, intake, 50shot is adding around 100hp. the N/A 5peed tranny might not even take that. the auto one is even worse.

Stay away from the nitrous. An na is never going to be a great dragger; esp. with an auto. Do some work on the handling. How fun can flooring it in a straight line with an automatic be?

IMO, any Vert owner whom wants to concentrate on performance for there FC should concentrate on weight reduction and convert to a Manual Transmission first.

Thanks. Well what can i do to "insure" that my tranny wont break besides doin the auto to manual conversion. I plan on doin that next year. Also, would it be better if i swap a TII rear end on to my vert?

You just answered your own question. If your quest Is for over 200 ponies to the rear wheel than go with the Turbo II Drivetrain. Heck, your converting Trannies anyway - go with the Turbo II Drivetrain.
