Dude, no. Please go do some research. They are not the same. The fact is that "custom eaton M90 supercharger and built/stroked 3.0" will still likely make less power than an S4 with chip and exhaust.

I went on a drive with a supercharged B6 3.0q with just a chip and exhaust and was significantly quicker. Don't forget it's not just HP, but torque that makes a car go.

You can sell your car for, what, $6-7k? You can pick up a stage 3 S4 making north of 450hp/450-ftlb for $10k more than that and you'll have all the benefits of the S4 (nicer interior, 6spd trans, S4 body bits).

I really like the 2.8 for what it is, and with a supercharger it's a decent DD... but it's no 2.7t

 

I hope you realize the next time I'm in socal I'm demanding a ride and maybe even a drive... i voted 20+ times for your ***

 

Haha yup me too every day up untill i went on vacation the 27th.

 

Well, a little update...

They can't get us into Sonoma until March 23 or 24, and I won't get the car until after that, so... it looks like another two months before I get it.

I have no room to complain, really, but I am a little bummed out about the wait.

 

I followed an RS4 on the northway to Albany a few weeks ago, same color. Shot some pics, but they turned out like ****. I was happy to be in a convoy of Audis with the car. Having one in the garage would be ****.

 

It's more about it being almost a one of a kind car. Also I have done my research and I have not said anything that isn't right. I couldn't get more then 5500 for my A4 anyways even though its a very nice car. I don't see why a custom supercharged 2.8 would not make enough torque not only would it make a tiny bit more off the line torque but it would be able to hold it a good time longer then the 2 little K03 turbo's on the 2.7. I do need to research a bit more on how big a supercharger would be necessary but I have seen a custom tuned G1 kit make 250whp and 254 torque w/ FMIC 2.6" pulley and some tuning that was running a little lean. I am just looking for 350chp and if an M62 can do 250whp then a M90 should make 350CHP easy and maybe 360 torque properly tuned w/ a good stand alone engine management system. I'd rather be the only one I know w/ a car like mine is all. Plenty of stage 2+ S4's out there just isnt for me.

possible tuning software. I'm told these guys work well with the higher displacement engines, and they deal mainly with european cars. bonus.

somebody5788.......nobody was trying to call you a liar, however a 2.7 is a twin turbo motor factory rated at 250CHP
and the 2.8 is an N/A motor making 190chp....
even though they are similar in displacement, they are different engines.........
