That hood = 🔥
Motor mounts
Those dirty wheels=🔥
Seatbelts are optional i see.
Unfortunately I don’t have the seatbelt mod installed IRL yet.
No need in seatbelt if your are immortal… oh wait…
Just as special as Americans who ride without a helmet
Американцы хуле
Schönes Auto. Gute Arbeit. Das Deutsche Nummernschild macht denn S4 auch direkt schneller.😁
such a huge transformation , that carbon fiber hood looks great!
Had plans for more mods but ran out of time and budget 😂 thanks for watching. The carbon hood didn’t disappoint
Just got a '22 SQ5, been binging your content the past few days. I've noticed the huge upgrade in production quality throughout the videos, good shit🔥🔥
Thanks man! Doing the best I can editing and learning how to produce higher quality content!
This needs more view. good job guys. keep the transformation series coming
Working on it! Absolutely
The editing has gotten very good man, props!
Trying to do the best I can to up my production quality/standards to provide more engaging/interesting content!
beast!!! Great comparison of the ECS Vs the 034 inlet pipes!
Big difference in giving the turbo more air for more succ!
That S4 looks sick! We gotta get him to the track with us!
Yeah baby!
Great videos and great skills! It looks like you were born to do this and I'm sure you'll have a ton of success. Fingers crossed!! Once you are big and wanna take a world tour, I have a b9 S5 in europe you can play with 😁
If I may give a tip from what I noticed when watching your awesome video. If you turn down the background music volume we, the viewers, can hear you and your guest much better. Maybe also provide your guest with a (better) mic. It would definitely improve my viewing enjoyment!
Thank for you telling me this. As the editor of my own content I’ll remember to turn down the music in the background! Sorry! Slowly learning myself
Humble, looks good on people
Very nice work!
Thank you!
As I was watching this video in my car I saw him drive past me in his s4. Thought I was seeing things for a sec and had to do a triple take😂 sick build!
Hahah awesome! 🙌🏻
Underrated channel
Appreciate that man. Go watch more videos
Should’ve included dragy times but still sick video need more of these
Ran out of time to do some 91 vs. e85 testing on stage 2+ but maybe we’ll do that in part 2 😀 if that ever happens. I’ll do my best going forward to provide the results!
Great job gents!
Thanks for tuning in!
@@Need4Built Keep being a bad influence, I've been on the fence about modding my RS5!
Would you consider the b9 platform reliable? Specifically looking into 2019+ s5. Plan on doing basic bolts ons and ethanol mix. You should transform it like this one 😅 im from the pmw as well.
Bro email me asap !!
"This fixable...Very Nice"......... LOL 🤣🤣🤣 Best line ever
Quoted from the most average slavic guy buying car parts or a wrecked car
Have you guys dug into a 4.0T yet? If not I have my daily driven C7 S7 prestige that is currently stage 1 ecu / tcu tune. In all seriousness, I just came across your channel and so far loving the videos. looking forward to more content from you.
Hope you watch them all ! Stick around for more 💪🏻
nice vid bro damn
Thanks for watching my man!
Hi mate, at the end were you guys running e85? Any idea on 1/4 mile Time with this setup? Cheers
No just the stage 2+ 91 file. Ran out of time for E85 comparison but Evan later on told me it was a noticeable torque difference and increase on the butt dyno
How is the car idling after installing the HPFP piston upgrade? I did the same mod on mine and noticed that idling after a cold start is much more rough than stock… not sure if it’s the piston upgrade or new spark plugs
Idled just like stock. It’s very possible it could be a few things. Possibly attributed to the fact that you worked on the car, and your brain is tricking you now to think something is wrong. It happens to everyone including me even being a somewhat experienced audi mechanic. I’m sure everything is perfectly fine if you’re running the correct file!
Being currently tuned by EPL, I’d love to have your page treat my 90k higher mileage daily 18 S4 to a hybrid turbo/tune performance makeover. Do you guys ever come out to CT?
You really need to switch over to 034motorsport. EPL is dead in the water at this point with and underperforming tune and zero support. However you do need a makeover. I’m located in PNW but maybe I’ll need to come to you. Send me an email my man! needforbuilt@gmail.com
I put those same 340 engine mounts and didn't last me more than 10k-20k mi until I went oem. been oem since on engine mount
What. My 034 mounts have lasted me 40k miles and they’re still on my B9 and I’m Pushing over double the factory HP. every 034 mounts I’ve installed has never ever failed.
I have the same S4 but with a KW chassis and an Armytrix system underneath
Sick!
Heyy I got myself a 2018 A5 b9 coupe, was wondering where you got the spoiler (as only specified as “other cosmetics”) and if it would be compatible with my car?
CAN auto performance, German car accessories, carbon imports.
For the rear spring installation, is there a reason you guys didn’t just remove the outer control arm bolt and nut? Then lower the arm and spring down with a jack. That way you don’t mess with the eccentric alignment bolt and throw off the alignment. Genuinely wondering fellas
Good question. Yeah that would’ve worked to be honest but the alignment was already going to need to be done either way so Evan (the owner) figured it would be easier for us to do it the way we did. Not much of an explanation, but hope that helps.
You guys should do this but with my a4 👀
You should send me an email !
German Plate on it :D
Looks good eh?
Hopefully you did torque the Control Arm and Bushing Bolts at ride height, otherwise your bushings will fail very fast !!
Yes we did. I should’ve included the shots of us lifting the suspension with a jack and torquing but decided to leave it out. There’s still a few shots where you can see a jack lifting the suspension
@Need4Built , I'm thinking of installing a carbon fiber hood on my A4, and I've noticed many suppliers recommend moving away from the gas hood struts as they're too strong for the carbon fiber hood. I didn't notice you guys replacing the gas struts in this video so would you say its okay to run gas struts with the carbon hood? I ask this because I cant find any (less forceful) replacement struts for my car. Thanks in advance :)
We removed them. They are too strong. Owner bought a carbon fiber strut brace instead to hold the hood up.
Good luck with the Tüv....
It looks like these are Americans. Their TVUs are like it looks it has all wheels, nothing falling off, GRANTED!
were do you live? i got a 2020 s4 with a pile of parts im waiting to install?
Near Seattle, WA. Please be close by
@@Need4Built im in Connecticut i couldnt be farther away🤣
Blackout the badges! What are the numbers by comparison?
Badges are a must! Just a slight torque gain on E85 really. 25wtq
Danggg can you do this to my Audi a3 !!? 😩🔥
Send me an email!
Damn I wish yall could do my 2017 Audi Q7 prestige
Maybe you’re closer than you think. Send me an email. needforbuilt@gmail.com
@@Need4Built ok
Where can I get that silicone from the inlet to filter. I have that inlet but different intake that won’t work
Buy the P34 or even better the S34 intake from 034.
@@Need4BuiltI’m cheap. Not trying to spend 400 to make noise lol I have a cts but the silicone won’t fit. Trying to be like th guy in the video lol
@@jayscoggs8549 it was an MST intake that I modified by cutting the silicone. I’ll be honest you can’t go wrong with the S34
I need a audi transformation would love to have u make a vid
Dm me or write me an email!
What’s a average or decent quote for engine mount jobs?
300-400$
Do you guys recommend Integrated engineering or 034?
034’s catalog
How do I get my Audi modded by you?? I love these videos!
Send me an email ! needforbuilt@gmail.com
My hfpf faulty on my s3 should I do the piston upgrade or the Motorsport upgrade there almost the same price I’m just curious
You don’t upgrade the piston when your hpfp is going out. The internals are the issue. Replace the hpfp with a brand new one and while you’re doing that upgrade to the 034 piston.
@@Need4Built so should I just get they 034 HPFP instead ??? Of buying one then replacing the piston?
?
@@Yoursol850 buy the full hpfp replacement from 034.
Very nice , the b9 is a really good engine to tune but it’s no much for the king bmws B58 ,I’d still take it any day over the b9. Regardless, beautiful car enjoy it.
Nawh bruv. BMW’s S58 and AUDI’s 4.0TT are the real kings.
nice a german license plate on Audi in America. I love it
Thanks ! 😁
how'd you learn to do all this?
Started small and moved up 🙌🏻
Should have bought a proper intake while you were at it lol. Sick S4 though
Agreed. We wanted to go for an intake from 034 like the P34 or S34 but at the time of filming both were back ordered for a month so.. went with what we had. Part 2 maybe ?
how did you go about learning so much about audis?
KZhead certified mechanic
@@Need4Built word lol. Any channel recommendations. I just got a 2018 Audi a4 so I'm trying to learn as much as I can
@@codycasanova2579 search up modifications installation. That will get you familiarized with how everything looks etc. You could also look up your engine code “Audi manual” and find all sorts of interesting information about your engine.
Are you sure you had to remove the pinch bolt!
Helps things go quicker in my opinion.
Now....black out front and rear lights😎😎
Real. Arguably on of the easiest best looking mods to do.
@@Need4Built Cool 😎
Nice build but does it have german plate on it on some shots 😂
Yup. Evan likes to keep the German plate on sometimes at car shows or when in Mexico.
👌🏼👌🏼💨
Swift 🗣️
a lot of donut media references i see👍
Yeah I love their team!
Why is there an German license Plate on that S4?
Mmmm because Evan enjoys living life on the edge. 🙂
I need the story of the license plate! I live in LB (Ludwigsburg)😂
Just for looks
@@Need4Built but whose plate is it?
Garrett turbo would be nice in this
Any big turbo would be nice with this.
Damn wish it was mine lol
Buy one and let me transform it
Video is good just do something about the music and sudden change of the sound gain.
Duly noted
I got 1999 E46 330D manual, wanna upgrade it too? Mine is completely stock
Could be a cool project ! Anything is possible with money.
No ddc on this car?
Nope
I love audis dont get me wrong, but who goes from an e92 m3 to an s4?
He unfortunately hit some bad ice in the winter and crashed it. Insurance totaled it and therefore he had to go with another platform and being an Audi fanboy, b9 s4 ended up being the choice. fortunately unfortunately.
@@Need4Built okay then I understand 😁
Do a drag race between this and SQ5 just for fun ❤️
Planning on it
@@Need4Built Ookkk....
shesh.. makes me feel crazy for spending 20k on a b5 s4 build
Don’t feel crazy. Audi’s are life 😁
whys the redline so low on the 4.0t
the b9 is the same way. just the limit of the turbo efficiency paired up with a few other factors set by audi.
@@Need4Built with upgraded turbos are u able to raise the rpm? Sad to see that the rs4 had a 8k redline and the 4.0t got a 5500 redline
@@louieduck1593 you’re talking about two completely different platforms 4.2 NA vs Turbo 4.0
I’ve got a 2017 F31 diesel wagon to modify if you’re interested in collaborating. At some point
Email me
feature the rs5 next😬
Let me build it 😃
Everything is great, except the filter placement without even a heat shield. Probably made more power stock now with a hot engine.
Bought 034's intake later on. Thanks for watching!
i see a lot of talk seeing Audi isnt that reliable, is that true? their interiors are nice asf but i dont wanna get one if issues are frequent
They aren’t issues. People love to misinterpret. There are certain problems with certain engines but the B8/B9 generations are nearly bulletproof. BUT ever 50-75k miles there is maintenance that needs to happen to keep the engine/transmission running for 150k+ and up. Examples: pcv, water pump, thermostat, transmission service. Engine Oil changes every 4-5k miles. Do that alone, these newer Audi’s will last a long time without ever leaving you stranded.
@@Need4Built I was looking into a 2019 Audi A6, im looking to get a used one but im hoping it doesn’t break the bank 🙏🏽
The turbo inlet pipe does not provide any performance improvements… the diameter of the inlet on the turbo housing does not change, and the fact that the cross section is shrinking to fit to it means that air is compressed and warmed up, which reduces performance. However it is a good material upgrade from plastic oem to metal aftermarket. That’s the only reason it is better. So even if upgrading from oem i’d not bother with larger diameters
Preparation for a larger turbo with a bigger inlet cross section.
@@Need4Built in that case you will need another pipe with the said larger cross section on the turbo end:) Good luck with your plans😁
@@Antoxichak46 yup that’s the point of going with this option. It’s a two piece turbo inlet. To increase the diameter on the turbo to match a larger turbo inlet, you just change the adapter that is provided for whichever larger turbo you go for without having to buy a new turbo inlet. I can simply go from the stock turbo (46mm inlet) to the tte810 (66mm inlet) simply by changing the 20$ adapter that’s already built into this inlet.
Interesting, so it’s like a step-up flange on the end of this pipe? I’m not sure it will make a difference, because the whole pipe gets narrower (the inner diameter and only the very end larger
I wish they’d manufacture an even diameter pipe and only the end flange stepping down or up to different sizes of turbos
Can you do anything to an A4?
Not as much, but yes.
The hood is fire from where tho
Looks like the karbel carbon hood
CMST hood. It’s not as high quality as the karbel carbon hood however in my opinion but it does look insane
@@Need4Built it does look good more like seasonal so keeping the OEM hood is a must
Did you have to drill any holes?
@@Alonso_99 no absolutely not. Like OEM fit. With threaded inserts.
Why does he have the German numberplate in the back ?
I’m Not sure but he does run it
Bruuuh why you guys have to trash the OEM hood 😂😂😭
Unfortunately it was already trashed. If you look closely you’ll see the entire time there’s a huge gash/dent on the top of it. It was kind useless and needed to be replaced either way. Destroying it on accident wasn’t planned however
When you have such a car and don't know how to have a normal seating position ...😂😂 why not have a seat without the backrest, it sales weight 😂😂
Little confused by this comment but I am all for weight reduction
but how is he still driving in USA with Gerrman liscense plates?
He’s not. It’s just for car shows. We put it on for the video.
So but…your interior trim is 48% carbon fiber and 52% brushed aluminum? 😂
Solid 😅 confused me

Not a huge deal but figured I'd point it out, something about your camera settings makes y'all look yellow 🤣
Ahahah I’m not sure why! I think it was a combination of the extremely bright garage lighting, weird camera settings and yellow headlamps didn’t help. I’ve been working on adjusting my camera and color grading to try and fix footage like that.
Why can't you guys do this for people living in South Africa?
How am I suppose to get to South Africa and build your car for you? 😄 if you’re paying I’m up for the challenge!
time 0-100 ?
Not quick enough
Me with my audi on the garage for 2 months and can’t afford to get it out 💔😭😭
What’s wrong with it
why did you destroys the stock hood 😭
Unfortunately the reason why we even did the carbon fiber hood is Evan got into a little fender bender with a railing and the hood was already dented beyond repair. If you pause the video and take a look on the right passenger side of hood you’ll see a massive dent lol. Pre existing. It was already unrepairable so carbon hood is what we went for. That Oem hood was trash. Made for some funny accidental footage.
German plats?
