Thumbs up New to the VW/Audi Scene

Hello,

I'm new to the Audi/VW scene, but no stranger to motorsports.

I'm mainly looking to meet some folks that are B6 1.8T Quattro Jedi.

I'm looking to do some minor modifications over time. For instance, I may go as far as chipping my car, and upgrading the diverter/bypass valve. I'm mostly interested in cleaning up the induction/intake aspects of the motor's performance, as well as upgrading the cars handling (Which is pretty decent out of the box). I'd start with sway bars and eventually swap out the shocks and coils. Upgrading the diffs would be about as crazy as I'm willing to get in this area, and that would probably be limited to a torsen center diff.
I seem to be having some minor issues cropping up, I.e. motor mounts appear to be in need of replacement. I'm getting some minor hesitation in the power band (Running slightly rougher in the last few months), but the car isn't throwing codes. I think the motor mounts are to blame here.

Anyhow, I'm looking forward to meeting you all.
