Jeff.. look here for more info:

www.audi-sport.net

They have a turners forum where you can talk upgrades to companies like APR, AMD, MTM, Forge etc. You'll get top advice.. it's not just about upping the boost

Cheers

Shunty - shouldn't that be 75% throttle? I imagine 75% throttle with the clutch down is probably 100% revs. I'm sure he can make the car last for literally several minutes driving like that

Jeff - that looks like a real power curve. Do it. Then offer free rides to anyone in Kent who asks nicely

Jeff - what is the url for the S4 site ?
I could only find the RS4 site:
http://www.rs4.org/
which does cater for the S4, but not much.

I am DEFINETLY getting an S4, but it's going to be next year.
Even talked the wife round, After much thought, I can't see any other alternative apart from an S4

Shunty

http://www.awe-tuning.com for the mad power as above
http://www.auto-amd.com for the UK version...

http://www.audi-sport.net for a forum similair to Scoobynet.

Get an S4 and you'll be impressed....However I am going to get the short-shift kit fitted by AmD.

Have fun

The shortshift on my 6 speed A4 Tdi Quattro made a huge difference to the action - as it should have been from the factory IMHO.

Please don't forget the brakes on the S4 if you're toying with a 315+ upgrade. The chassis is well up to it, but not the stoppers. Are you fitting the 993's ?

I agree that the gear-change is probable the thing that has disappointed me about the car....hopefully the short-shift will sort it out. I'm also looking at AP Racing 6 pots for the front and a brace underneath the gearbox which is mean't to stop the 'shunting' from the transmission.

Shunty, I'll tell you all about the things I change !

Jeff -
I've had a great idea, go for the big upgrade now, then I'll buy the S4 off you next year, when you buy the RS6 off daveS6, when he moves up to a F355
don't you love it when a plan comes together.
