You guys needa see this!
Was on streetfire checking out some audi videos, and stumbled upon this and i just thought it was pretty effin sweet.. not sure what the power numbers are, or really anything about it.. but this thing is a rocket.. how fast does it seem in comparison to a done up b5 s4 thats running both turbos? ill let the video do the talking

hahah i know right? that f*cker is fasstt.. i felt like by watching it that it seemed faster than alot of other stage 3 s4s.. but i could be wrong.. i wish they had some power numbers on there but i had never seen this before.. i felt like i had at least heard of everything thats been done but, they claim to be the first ones to do it.. they did a helluva job for sure.. love it

Single turbo set up on an S4 is usually between 700-800 horses. It can be pushed into the 1,000 range with a built motor and just about every other drive train componet upgraded. I would venture to say that car has closer to 700.

wow.... lol that blows my mind.. it seemed faster than any stage 3 s4 ive seen but i didnt wanna venture to say it actually was.. why is it so much more powerful? im just interested in the logistics of this.. but thats wild as hell.. do we not see more people do it cause of the cost?

Because you can run a massive single turbo, you need all 6 cylinders to turn over one of those big boys. Twin turbos are better suited for street pavment pounding, drag racing is all about maximum power so they go the single turbo route.
