Available in standard form with power of upto 317bhp (depending on the year), so this goes to show the tuning potential of the 80.

Audi certainly know what they are doing when it comes to making a fun car and the more powerful 80s provide and excellent tuning base to work from. Car Tuning Guide have been impressed with the addition of stainless steel exhaust systems on the 80s , if you want to improve your top end go with an air induction filter. You should also get a better fuel pressure regulator such as those supplied by FSE
FASTROAD CAMS should be next up on your tuning list and will offer big power gains on the 80. Turn your attention next to the 80s engine head. With a good gas flowed ported engine you will see much better mid and peak range power.

The forced induction 80s are a tuners dream. If you have a turbo or supercharger get the intercooler uprated for even more power. The 80s come in various power levels right up to 317bhp. On a turbo 80 you will see these power gains from anywhere between 412.1bhp to 602.3bhp. Any more than this and you will start to see unreliability appearing. Many 80 owners improve the handling of their cars with slightly stiffer springs. To avoid other problems you should lower the car no more than 36mm.
