RE: A4 vs. ?
Dangerous crowd.
If you drive a LOT of miles, I'd go for the 1.8T with either just a GIAC chip. or go for the K04 turbo and the GIAC chip. Not as much power as a S4, but a respectable 230 HP and great gas mileage.

Get an '01.5 A4 and install a GT28RS kit with software.
You can get the car for around $11000 to $15000 and the turbo setup with hardware and software for around $3500 to $4000. YOu'll also need to upgrade the exhaust for about $800 to $1000. So you'll have $7000 left over. This setup will make around 300 horses at the wheels (350 at the crank). Just ask tomritt. ATP (atp turbo) will very shortly be selling a GT28RS kit that eliminates many of the headaches that tom went through. They haven't posted the prices yet for the GT28RS but the GT28r kit (codename GT2X) is going for $2000 and makes around 240 horses at the wheels (300 at the crank).
