if you end up doing any/ all of the mods I mentioned, premium fuel would probably be a good idea to keep detonation down. And AFM= Air Flow Meter, The thing on top of the airbox...

What's the old saying? Cam and compression are the only replacement for displacement

Port and polish is a good idea. Just go to the hardware store and pick up a bag of sandblasting sand, disconnect the intake where is comes outa the air box or where it goes into the throttle body and just shovel the sand in as you rev the motor. Works wonders man.

I read in import tuner magazine that a guy did this to his audi!! He was writing in to ask why he had no power and why his engine was knocking.
