true your fast.... but you probably need to spend about 4k to control that power.... brakes alone are ~3k.
clutch upgrades, forged internals, suspension... running another 3-4k++

 

b6driver, are you talking about the a4? The stock internals have been proven at over 500awhp. And if you are talking about the srt engine, it is very similar. Both engines come from the factory with forged internals. Most turboed cars do.

 

i personally think the Evo's are crap. Ugly & reminds me too much of a POS focus or kia. The STI looks so much beefier & sporty... Now also take into consideration i live in canada so Evo's aren't allowed up here haha so my opinion is somewaht bias.

I'd take an S4 over 95% of the cars on the road

 

I just missed out on a magic deal for a 2000 S4 the other week. i slapped my self so hard. Even stock they put up a sick fight against really tough cars, modded, they'll give you whiplash accelerating from 60mph.. haha.

BTW Quattrosedan, you got any proof the A4 engines can handle that kinda power, not only the engine but the tranmission and AWD system aswell.. just for the record are we talking about a B5 A4 or a B6?

 

The general understanding is that 1.8ts are only good for 350WHP on the stock internals!.... and 350WHP is in the danger zone...

I also want to make 400 AWHP and I plan to replace rods and go bigger than 3071. Have you seen a 3071 make 400 AWHP on a 1.8t?

 

Yes, many people have done it, just search the net. When we went to dyno our cars at central florida turbo, a guy was working on his project a4 with custom tune on a 3071r and he had already made 390whp on like 21psi, and he hadn't even perfected the tune yet. I know atpturbo.com has a dyno of their b6 making like 426whp on stock internals, u just have to find it. And donsupreme, depending on which engine you have, the 1.8's handle 350whp all day long. The aeb's are the strongest bc they have the thickest rods of the others, and that is what I have been talking about. I dont have any experience with the atw, or the awm.
