My A4 is 2032cc, running a Garrett GT35r pushing 650whp. There is another A4 with a built 2 liter pushing over 800whp and is in europe, not sure if those numbers are with or without nitrous.

Yeah, I know... the A4 isn't the type of car that people would go to the next level but I perhaps will see what my TT can take. I've already been through JDM and American muscle cars.

that is what you should of said in the first place, but what you said or how you said it and quoting mike made you sound like a noob who knows nothing about cars in general.... that is why you got the back lash

Just to let you, I picked up a Cummins Holset turbo which is more reliable, can boost more and spools much faster than the DBB Garrett, PTE, Forced Performance turbos, etc... for $500 and it topped off at 958 AWHP on my little 2.0L 4 banger DSM.

Hmmm... paying $1800-$2000 or $500?

Looking into some stuff WILL save you some money!

and to your other statement, if you want to see a4 owners running precision or hoslet turbo's go to az

and for krip : back on topic
