PBKIDD24's Progression thread

**PBKIDD24** · 03-25-2018 10:05 AM

I recently picked up a CPO 2015 S4, and figured it was a good time to start a progression thread.
While this is my first "s" model, you can check out my previous 2015 A4 build thread here.
This car is my daily driver, and I plan on keeping it OEM+.
I will update this thread as things progress, and keep the list of modifications in this post up-to-date.
I am nowhere near finished with this build, just beginning to get things rolling.

The day I took delivery, next to my old A4.

After inspecting the paint, it was clear that the car had been through automatic car washes throughout it's previous owners time. I tried to correct what I could, but with time constraints and not feeling comfortable going that deep on the car, I decided to bring it to Detailers Domain and have Phil do a full correction and fictech car lift 2 year coating. The results speak for themselves.

After driving around the car in stock form for a month or so, I decided it was time to start modding it. First stop was to EurotechMS to have them install the billstein B-12 Pro kit, 034 x-brace and 034 rear sway bar. I was able to swap these parts over from my old car, so I did not have to re-purchase these parts

daytona grey = best grey

After having a full resonated AWE system installed on my last car, I decided I wanted something different. I was not the biggest fan of the squirty/wheed whacker noise the AWE exhaust made at at low rpm and despite what AWE claims, I had plenty of drone while cruising on the highway. I decided to go with the Miltek resonated valvesonic system with 100mm Polished tips. With the valves closed, the sound is pretty similar to stock, and with the valves open it has a nice growl. The resonated valvesonic system is basically the standard Miltek resonated system when closed, and the Miltek non-res system when opened. This system truly has almost zero drone, exactly what I was looking for.

Here is a video of a few revs, first with the valves closed and then with the valves open, then closed again.

And here is a video of an open valve cold start, unsure why the video cuts out a few times.

Wow, that sounds awesome!

Phil and Danek are good people, nice choice and car looks great.

I have a few parts waiting to be installed: P3cars gauge, 034 trans mount, blackout badges all around. Waiting for the warmer weather to get here. Snapped another iPhone picture yesterday.

how is the ride on the B12 kit? Contemplating on getting them but worried about the ride quality on our shitty roads.

It's slightly firmer than stock, not too harsh for the shitty roads in the tri-state area.

Installed the P3 gauge today, snapped this pic mid-install.

Haven't updated this thread in a while, I've done a few things since.

Installed Black badges all around
Installed Lamin-x tint on the tail lights and fog lights
Installed Grafixpressions headlight tint and grille strips
Swapped out the APR Intake for the ECS intake - Fitment is MUCH better, and you get more whine from the supercharger.
Installed Carbon Imports Low-kick spoiler - This is much more to my liking than the high kick versions.

Snapped Some Pictures:

Also purchased an APR CPS and Supercharger Pulley, so I will be getting those installed and going APR Stage II with the single pulley for now. I would like to jump up to the dual pulley or Ultracharger system but I have concerns about the stock cats; with no proper HFC options for the car, I don't see myself making that jump just yet. Time will tell.

Haven’t updated in a while:

Purchased new wheels and tires: BC Forged kl12 19x8.5 et33 wrapped in 255/35 r19 Michelin PS4S.

Purchased and installed the ZIZA full interior LED kit - gave the interior a much needed update.

I also installed the full ECS drivetrain insert kit, and swapped the ECS intake back for the APR version. After driving many miles on the ECS setup, I decided the whine was a bit too much for me.
