you dont make boost when crusing at 75 or whatever on the highway. There is no load. You really need a boost gauge.

sorry to thread jack.....

RS4 BABY!!

Do you have a K03 1.8t? If you do, you hear a distinct WHOOSH noise when you accel up to 80. I guess you're right, it isn't constantly boosting once you hit 80, but you boost all the way there (unless you granny shift). I guess we're both half right. LOL!

I also boost when I go up hill with the cruise control on. And half the time you're in Montana you're uphill.

Dude Cincy will eat you alive.. your digging yourself a grave. Just stop and accept facts. Your not boosting when cruising on the highway.. at a set speed.[]

hills cause load, creating boost. Flat and consistant speed or barely increasing speed @ any rpm you will stay in vacuum and not create boost.

I just saw an RS6 for 28K$ on craigslist... I'd say thats an even better deal than the S4 + mods to equal $28,000...

I never been a big fan of the A6's, but those RS6's are pretty cool i must admit.

I'm pretty sure Cincy and I were having a conversation, not having a "who knows more about Audi's competition." I would lose that one rather quickly. I'm not out to prove anyone wrong, just sharing my experience. The city I live in in Montana is a mile high. So you're either going down a steep hill or up one whenever you're driving. And hence you're under boost a lot of the time.

Damn people are ornery here! I think everyone needs to go out and take a nice long drive to chill out.

OMFG that MTM B7 Audi RS4 supercharged is the most ridonkulous thing I have ever heard. I guess that is the ideal. But I would also assume that that car costs upwards of $100,000, all things considered.

You know, I was going to make this vote between a new S4 and the old B5 S4 tuned, but I didn't think anyone was going to vote for a new stock S4. I'm surprised how many people prefer the new RS4. I thought this poll was going to be a close one!

This thread is a no brainer, so jack on...
Vassar007, all those mods, but no boost gauge??? When youre cruising on the highway at any speed/any rpm, youre not necessarily boosting. If youre cruising, youre likely in vaccum.
Its in cincyTT's DNA to deliver at least moderate levels of sarcasm in all things he says... He cant help it. Dont take it personally.
