When you go to the tuning shop, ask for the chip with larger injectors. It definately will get up and scoot. A member here has an 05 with the GIAC version and he's been able to keep a B7 S4 in sight.

 

yeah i hear ya turbo kraut, im not saying the 8 is a beast at all... but alot of people look at the whp, tourque, and the fact that its a naturaly aspired 1.3 liter and assume its slow. Not the case.ive beat quite a few cars with much more under the hood than the 8. And yes im def not buying this A4 to go out and race people. im buying it from a friends dealership at a great price. I need something as a daily driver and my main concerns were awd, manual trans., smooth ride and audi luxury.i drive about 35 miles one way to work everyday and the 8 wasnt meant for thatwhen ytou live in pittsburgh.so it was between this, Subaru Legacy, mazdaspeed6 (not very luxurious, but fast) or a 3 seriesBMWxi. I think i made the right choice.'04 A4 1.8t 6-speed, premium package, cold weather, 50k miles, $17,100
