2.8's are slugs off the line. If you have a 12v, forget about it.

i dont know about that. i found a significant improvement since the installation. Unless, you're still talking stock.

Of course Im talking stock. Anything with a SC should be damn quick off the line.

A LOT of cars will beat a stock 2.8 off the line, but a stock 1.8T isn't one of them, given the same transmission.
You do know that the ko3 makes peak tq before 2k stock and just past 2k chipped right?
I stand by my statement.

Bottom line is, if you want a fast car (going by my definition of fast) an a4 is not by any means the best way to get there. if you want a nice daily driver, an a4 is a great car.

the point i was trying to make in my first post is, who cares what you can beat. fact is, youre driving an audi, which is a very nice luxry car.

can you agree with that? if you cant, youre just lying to yourself....
with the first statement, i agree a -2.8 is not the way to get there....... yeah, i know there are alor faster cars than my moded 1.8

and i agree a4's in general are not fast at all stock

I have a 2.8 with a intake and PES chip so most likely around 20 hp above stock. 1999.5 I was able to toy with a RSX-S this weekend. I killed him off the line went straight to 3rd and let him catch up. When his bumper was at my front fender I dropped second and it was bye bye birdy from there. I know absolutely nothing about the RSX-S other then that and it had an exhaust. It sounded/was driven like a manual. Made me feel good anyways. I have also raped a golf with a 1.8t swap and some custom work. People really like to knock the 2.8 but it's pretty damn decent. Also I seriously don't think that a 1.8t with 25 PSI is going to run forever. I think my 2.8 is.
