^ go GT series turbos, atleast a GT25_ _ (mazdaspeed protege turbo) if u wanna go cheap, but preferred a GT28_ _ series.

if ur really on a budget, u can build a T3S60 turbo for roughly over a grand if u bargain around.


but YA, alloys-r-us is ridiculous. prices are super cheap, a shipped set of those are $499!! shipped!! that is, they are 18". which should be right anyhow since 19" are too big for a B5 A4/S4 =O

**** i lowered mine i think 1 1/2" and that mother bumps into everything. get ajustables and be careful. Mine took a week or so to get dialed in right. destroyed a set of fenders and a oil pan in the process. Just be careful and get your fenders rolled before you do any of that.

hmmm... i have 400 right now and a JL amp I can sell! I should so get those rims in gun metal. Would look great with the Vogtland springs that are on the way. That or I'll go w/ these from tire rack. My price is 80 bux a piece there only 17's but they seem to look alright w/ the drop (i chopped in a drop)

Nonsense! 19's with stretched tires aren't too big!

I'm a HUGE fan of the Super60 - set up properly, it's a monster. Great power delivery, excellent power production, and quick spooling. I've been a key wrench on a build of a different car using one of these and its response and power production was ridiculous. I would love to see it used on Audis more often. Excellent mid-size turbo for sure.

^ definitely. even though it's a journal bearing turbo instead of a dbb, for the price and power produced... it's unbeatable.
