Best Mods for my b5??

I think that's the idea behind it - smart marketing days you advertise an excellent number. Personally, I'd rather use a K03/K04 at 5-6psi and gain 50 or so hp and call it a day. Snappy, fun, cheap setup there. Great for a DD.
Too many guys forget that it's not all about huge numbers. If you want big power, start with the right platform.

Lol I was doing that while most of this forum was still playing with Barbie dolls. I started with a platform well-suited to making a lot of power. Just like booze, the first step is admitting you have a power fetish. Knowing that, you can research and buy the proper starting point for a car, or barring that, you can realize it, find out the power-to-dollar ratio sucks with whatever car you bought instead of the right one, sell it, and buy the right one. If more people did that we wouldn't have so many "who sells a $400 superturbonitrocharger bolt-on kit for my 15-year-old 12v that I can install in 30 minutes and use to take down a Koenigsegg CCXR?" threads around here.

As awesome as a single turbo 2.8 could be, I think unless I have a bunch of time and money I'd rather just find a Stage 3 S4 for 12-13k. Like you said, start with the right platform.
For now I'm happy with my 2.8.. It's quick enough to merge on a highway and that's all that matters. Plus it looks beautiful for a 13 year old car.

Yeah, well I bought my car mainly for the power seats and the chrome trim around the window lol. I had no intentions in making it fast. I would have just gone with the 1.8t but I would prefer to spend money on horsepower than spending money on power seats(I just think its so convenient!).
Also S4 are more on insurance.

since the s4 and the 2.8 use the same block. and s4 guys upgrade their heads with 2.8 heads. in theory you can swap pistons and rods from an s4 and and drop the compression. then buy the rest of these components..heaaders turbos ecu....... you would have an s4 engine correct?
