THe regular A3 1.8T has the same bottom end as the S3 and when you replace the
S3 specific parts - turbo, chip, cam - the result will be pretty much the
same, both in power and performance. 300 hp from the 1.8 is not uncommon, the
most I have heard of is 650 - in an A4tq Avant. This car IS a dailydriver!
