Default Keep or not to keep?

I have a A4 2.8quattro manual 98' and have a lot on it. I have everything for handling and braking and some looks, short throw and GIAC chip. I really like the v6 but I NEEEEEED more power, im not satisfied. I know some people have figured out how to twin turbocharge it, I would potentially want to do that in the long run, but do you guys think it will ever be available? So I guess what im asking is, should I keep the car or sell it for a 1.8t? or something else, im open to suggestions. Thanks

Murphy

i say if you are inlove with audi a4's then it would be better to buy a 1.8t, but you aint 2 crazy about audi's just sell it and buy 1995-1999 bmw m3(just my opinion), if you dont want a ricer car the m3 would be great.

buy a SC from ebay, make a bracket and put it on, i'm thinkin of doing that. putting it in the same location as the air box like this

i know it's from PES, but i'm not spending 4k for a sc. prolly just buy a $500 one from ebay. i really like the vortec ones (look like turbos with a pully), just need a bracket similar to this one and some piping (but ebay civic cold air cheap intake and use aluiminim welding)

Well i cant afford an s4 so thats out of the question, and i dont have a job until the summer so money is slim. My car right now is worth maybe 8500 so if i wanted an s4 i would have to add like 6k and i deffinently dont have that.
