what do I need to do?
 

I'm trying to just reach the goal of my srt4 with my a4 b5 1.8 5 speed. My srt has the basic bolt ons and is running 19lbs I ran a 12.9 with it and it pulls pretty hard from a roll. I just am wanting the same power level out of my a4. Yes I know the huge weight difference and the fact the srt is fwd its easy to get going from a roll with that 2.4 compared to a 1.8. My A4 has exhaust, dp, intake, manifold, fmic, and is tuned on 15lbs from when I got it. I was wondering will a k04 and a giac tune get me to my powerband?

you're going to need a frankenturbo at the vary least, but i'd say a gtrs is necessary to dip into the 12's.

your a4 is capable of pulling good times, but a lot more work and many is going to be needed than some simple bolt ons and a tune

a main problem with the a4 is to get good times and good power, youll need to upgrade the turbo. but th bigger turbo coupled with our small displacement means a sacrifice in low end power. heres my dyno graph. I run a 2871r. note that I'ma only at 200awhp at 4350 rpm. my hotside is a tad big for the turbo, but you get the idea.

Not bad numbers at all. Honestly I just want the low power of the k04 and to maximize it to its full potential even if that means I little bit of weight reduction and E85 with full bolt ons
