it'll make the drivetrain a LOT more solid. the motor and tranny slop is completely removed. you lose less momentum between shifts, but it still takes the same time to shift. SS+034 mounts+southbend clutch=really fast crisp shifts. absolutely nothing like stock.

air intake hot air or cold air? why would you want hot air lol. all you need for that is a MAF adapter, filter, pipe that brings it towards the fender a bit more and a hommade heatshield so the air a a bit cooler. and definitely go fmic. sounds like a huge plan you got there, i hope you have quite a bit saved up lol

just so you know your not gona get any noticeable power out of an intake, but it'll make the turbo louder. and if your upgrading the turbo not all intakes designed for stock will work.

as for hot air vs cold air, some say it makes no difference since the turbo is compressing and heating the air and then the intercooler cools it back down. but i think if the air starting out is colder, it'll be colder when it reaches the tb. but the difference isn't gona be that dramatic

as for suspension, just springs aren't gona help with handling at all, just make it look nicer.

yeah but the s4 is so much more expensive. base price is double an a4. insurance is a lot higher. mpg goes down. the maintenance on it is a bitch. if it breaks down at all, count on it costing twice as much as your a4.
