We have both...but my chipped 1.8T walks me (chipped C230K 1.8L) on the fwys. Of course, the 1.8T has a full catback exhaust, FMIC conversion...

2001 A4 1.8tQMS
well, i wanted to see what everyone would say..... so here is what my a4 has apr 91 oct tune, 2.5 exhause from flex pipe back

the benz, i dunno

So my buddy is over last night to tint hit side markers and tails on his mark III gti and he decides he wants an oil change too.... so we leave to go get the oil and filter.

on the way back we pull up next to this 230 kompressor with flashy bling bling 18's and look over.... start talking about how queer he looks and i say roll down your window and ask him if he wants to race......so my buddy starts to do it, i tell him i am playing cause of how this kid looks

i look over again and notice he is looking at my freshly painted s4 wheels and think this kid just might wanna, but i have second thoughts about spooling the turbo....... light goes green and this kid romps on it so i obliged.... we were even through third gear shift, then i took off and he slowed down so my buddy decideds to hit my flashers to let him know he just got owned

the guy looked no more than 175lbs, i weight about 240 and both other guys in the car are 140 a piece, so i have 520lbs of people and a 1.8t v 230 with a 175lb guy.... not to shabby eh?

I raced a member from Mbworld from dead stop to 110. Won by 2 lengths. This was before I had any mods (except suspension, wheels and carbon fiber intake.)

*Edit*

Forgot to add, I see you have an 01, you have 170hp (K03s turbo vs my K03), so its even more in your favor, I'm hoping you have a 5spd though.

2001 A4 1.8tQMS
here are the mods i have some functional some not, and a video too.. in the video i have 2 passengers wieghing about the same as the race, so this is what can be expected from my car...... i think everything is pretty much the same as the day of race except it might have been cooler for the race and the wheels are 16 in sports........ also my 1.8t is not stock... and correct me if i am wrong but the c230 is also rwd which would mean less power loss through the drive train..... even if he is stock

my tunning just take me to 10 or so hp more at the crank, but do to me being awd i will loose alot of that through drivetrain loss


ok, here is my list of mods, some functional some not:
apr - 91 oct. tunning
2.5 exhaust from flex pipe back, into a ebay muffler
cone filter
stratosphere dv
17in s4's painted flat black
window tint(35%)
kamei badgeless grill
m3 spoiler
debadged
s4 euro headlights(hid's)
center vent pod(equios guage)


i also have a 0-60 video with 2 guys in the car and i ran a 6.8 here it is

yes i have the 170 hp motor, and yes a 5 speed...... but like i said i didn't know we were going to race or i would have spooled my turbo up

i am not sure, can you "spool" a supercharger or you just got it from the front end anyways and me being a turbo i would have to wait for mine to kick in if i didn't spool it?

Not Quite sure, you have APR software which is not aggressive as the GIAC in my car. I hit 21psi and hold 19. From the video you momentarily spike 20 but hold 14-15.

You should get a test pipe, that will unlock a good load of power.

With the bolt ons you have you certainly aren't slow. Just lacking in top end.

I'm getting my k04 back finally, so ill get to play with EVO's all the way up to w/e speed.

Yeah, I was going to go that route but I want my car to be a perfect autocross vehicle, k04 is perfect, very little lag and has more than enough juice to get you though a course fast.
