Default help with a first time turbo/awd buyer

I am currently in the market for an awd turbo car, and the choices have come down to a b6 a4 or a my02 subaru wrx. assuming I do all the mods uptill the new turbo ei. fmic, chip, intake, exhaust downpipe uppipe, suspension etc... what kind of quarter mile times will i be seeing with the 5spd? From the very informative wrx sites, i've gotten a estimated time of about 13.4 1/4 time. Will these mods help get the a4 to around a low 14 time? will a k04 get me there...and possibly even be better(stock block withstanding)? If these mods really do a monster job, then i might sacrifice .5-1 second in teh 1/4 for a much much nicer car. Apreciate the help guys.

wrx will get you more power w/ those mods. chipped a4's can pretty much run with stock wrx's. chipped wrx's own.

if you want a quarter mile car.. the 3500 + lb audi a4 is not for you

but yes, with everything outside of a turbo up grade.. low to mid 13's

A4 has leather heated seats. And the best awd in the world.

wow really? mid to low 13's? that's plenty fast for me. the most i was ever going to do with this car was maybe hpde/some track time. this was going to be a DD until i can get a e30 i can run in spec e30 nasa. I appreciate all the help guys looks like the decision is made....plus the subie looks too...cartoony for a graduated student going to work at a civil eng firm...

Lazer, not trying to be mean, but you are giving bad info here. If you want low 13's your gonna need at least a 2871r or bigger turbo. Arif's runs mid-high 13's. You'll never get into the 13'sat allwithout a bigger turbo.
But this car is about much more than straight line speed. Its a great all around car, much better looking, much more comfortable, and a very capable car, in my opinion way better than a suby could ever be.
