Default What's with the lack of performance parts for the B8?

What's with the lack of performance parts for the B8 You got APR and AWE but even they don't have much more then exhuast,chip, and a boost gadge. Which is fine but what about intakes, turbo kits, downpipes. I'm looking for 350hp and I'm not gonna get it with out aftermarket parts. The B8 has been out for 2 years now, what are they waiting for?

******** A4,

APR and AWE only get as far as their stage 3 kits. They might get the power goals you want, but they are very limited when the time comes to get bigger. I said in the other thread, we can definitely do a turbo upgrade for you.

no engine lacks performance parts. welll maybe the 2.8 12v does lol. a lot of the B8 engine parts are probably interchangeable with the B7. people just haven't had the time to play with the configuration yet. i'm sure a turbo kit is being worked on by somebody right now. i'd say give it another year and the market will explode. i wonder who'll be on top lol. i would love to see an elim type kit like for the B5

Well I'm not sure about how interchangeable the parts are seeing as the B8's engine bay dementions are diffrent. And also the 2.0T is valvelift now too so that effects things as well. I know the're going to make new parts but I can't wait that long!!!
