Less room on our cars. Our Frame, motor mount and motor mount bracket will get in the way. I have been trying to get Full-Race to make one for my car for a few years now. One other person made a twin scroll on a b7 but it pretty much puts the turbo inlet right into the fender.

It isn't like a single scroll T3 wont make 900chp on our cars with a 4 cylinder.

Hard to say since no one has been able to get a twin scroll on a B5 A4 1.8t.

mike you should do it and have them give you a new hood with a hole in it where the turbo would stick up. if anybody should do it first, it should be you lol

I tried but it just never happened. This was back even before the Tial 38mm vband wg came out. We were going to do a TS setup using a BW S300. They told me that it was going to be an issue because there just isn't enough room. Turbo would have to sit really close to the head light so that would mean a filter wont fit on the turbo which is not really an issue with me because I dont run a head light on that side. Then the fact that there isn't really anyroom for 2 wg dump pipes and most people want those ran back into the DP which just wont happen on a dual WG setup in the A4.

If it was easy to do in our car Full-Race would have done it already since they were the first to make the tube manifold for the A4 which everyone then made copies of.

The frame is in the way. Even with the single scroll Full-Race manifold it is a tight fit. To install that manifold you have to raise the motor up to get the manifold in place.
