Hey, so I recently bought my Q40. I need to know where to start on increasing HP the right way. I have made mistakes with other cars in the past and paid dearly. I want to build it up the right way over time, starting small going from there.
Thanks

Re: Q40 Just starting
Depends on what your overall goals are, but, the biggest bang for your buck is probably installing high-flow catalytic converters with a cat-back. I would pair that with an intake and then get a tune. More air in, more air out, and if a custom tune you can get better power results.

Appreciate it. My overall goal is to turbo.
Re: Q40 Just starting
If I turbo, do I need to beef anything else up to prevent spitting parts?

Re: Q40 Just starting
Make sure you have a large tranny cooler and don't go too crazy with boost. mid-400whp is probably fine with the transmission. For the motor just make sure you have a proper tuner do his thing.
Re: Q40 Just starting
Will I have to get a custom turbo? I'm not seeing anyone making turbos for the Q40
