big power and fwd is fine. Bigger turbos with lower torque is better for fwd than a gt28r or k04-2x that make 300ftlbs at about 3k. Turbos like a gt28rs/gt2871r and the t3t4 50trim are better by giving you a little lag and plenty of top end power. Also you see far less boost in 1st and 2nd gear so that isnt that big of a deal. Also with an ebc you can run less boost in 1st and 2nd gear for even more traction. These are small things that make haveing a BT fwd car fast and still maintain traction.

selling the car is not an option for me.
Why? Is your **** stuck in the gas tank or something?

jk

is it?
no its the fact that i've done lots of things to it, and lots of things still need to be fixed. i doubt i will get any offers for it higher than what i owe. also i have tons of parts sitting in my room just waiting to go on.

Nope you'll be good from the quality of the motor that Audi tossed in with a nice well planed setup will still get you 200k. As for traction see the flying pig above for advice. City driving just start from 2nd you should have the power to do that. It will be slow but your MPG will go up as well "Itsa minor side effect".

Not sure if you can start in 2nd I still havnt drove the 4cly based Audi's. 03 A4 3.0 guattro for me.

you realieze that your hurting your tranny like that dont you? There is nothing wrong with 1st, and when you have a turbo that doesnt hit full boost until about 4k, im sure you will learn how to drive and control your vehicle.

compression in each cyl. if your car is still making compression and not burning oil, you are good to go.
