forget the a6 2.7tt 6 speed, get an b5 s4, same engine less weight

 

blast... talk about late post

 

Apr stage 3/+ will get you there.

 

Yes I know how big the T3/T4 turbo is but, I don't like it. Therfore I would skip it. IMO either of the Garrett GT28 models is a better turbo.
I was actually considering a T3/T4 turbo at one time and decided that it was way more than I needed and wasn't as good an overall performer as the Garrett GT28 models.

By my tally you can buy all the major components of a T3/T4 setup for $4100--excluding tuning and labor. This includes turbo, exhaust, intercooler, exhaust manifold, wastegate, pistons and rods, fpr, and injectors.

 

ok heres the only reason a gt28rs is better bc its ball bearing. it cant even flow as much as a 57 trim t3/t4 if it needs rebuilt it can be where as the gt28rs can not if u do ull be payin as much to fix it as u paid for it brand new. also u can get a race bearing that is somewhat close to bb. just a few more to add to the list why a t3/t4 is better...oh and u do know they do come in diff trims so they 'arent to much for you'

 

I do know they come in different trims. They are all more than I need. I drive approx. 20 miles a day--(4) 5 mile trips. Takes me 15 to 20 minutes each way becuase I sit at almost every light twice. I rarely get the oppurtunity to get the K04 really running. So...a T3/T4 is more than I need and you can get a ball bearing T3/T4 from Turbonetics. Hell, I think I wasted my f'in money on a K04.

 

Well thats good if you street race, try launchung a frontrak with a BT and try not to bogg horrable or spin, the key to a good 1/4 time is the first 60'. IF your 60' is bad your 1/4 e.t will more be bad. When i hit the track im gonna get some hoosier slicks, or some type of drag radials.

 

he was completely right about the 2000's and later being drive by wire wich means its an electronic throttle body rather than a cable operated. when you do a turbo kit and have to tune or chip your ecu, throttle by wire is only gonna be a pain in the *** and usually be a bit off.

 

Hmm, where to start, well as dafrazi said the gt28rs/gt2871 are much nicer turbos to drive daily. Spool early and smoothly. Both will get you into the 12's with a good tune. The 57 trim isnt comparable to either of those turbo as its much bigger. Its more on par with a gt30r.

The thing is, most other car ppl are used to just bolting on any turbo you want and getting it dyno tuned. This isnt going to happen with an audi. Basically you either pick a turbo that has a chip file made for that turbo, or you end up messing around with an improper match and fiddling with trying to tune a bid turbo chip, for a different big turbo than its meant for. The other option is standalone, but forget about emissions unless you know somebody.

If you can homebrew most of you stuff, you can do it for under 5k, but I tell people to take how much you expect to spend and double it, because stuff will break, and wear.

Right now at 10psi I think my car is making about 300awhp (I beat a 298awhp wrx on thursday night by 1 car from 30-120)

 

Aren't you just sooo cool tom :P
