[urq] A6 vs URQ performance?

With considerations toward voided warranties and blown turbos aside <g>,
a chipped A6tt 6-speed would be a blast.

I disagree w/ Scott in re: sport suspension- the PSK version is
seriously
lacking, the PST w/ larger 17" wheels may be better, but with these
cars,
I'd be inclined to immediately install the accessory Audi sport springs
and some Bilstein Sports or consider coilovers for the well-matched
spring
rate to shock tuning, not the ride height adjustability, although the
ride
height adjustability is nice in that you can corner-weight the car
perfectly
and only drop the car a little rather than a lot.

Were it not for the blown turbo concerns, the A6tt would be the upgrade
of
choice for me- may still be once they come down in price w/ depreciation
and once bigger turbo kits become available for the car. 307hp chipped,
with
350 easily attainable w/ downpipes and exhaust, a dual K04 running 12psi
sounds like just the ticket for a large margin of safety, esp. adding
proper
bypass valves and full Samco hoses to prevent TBB failure, F-hose
failure
and all of the other numerous failures seen in the S4tt.
