Chris:
I'd go with yummy jager on this one.
I too love the 4K:  light weight and looks good. Owned one.
Turbo swap luring.......too
But I've gone ga ga with the 200 series chassis, creature comforts and the 
power of the 20V turbo. 217 HP then chipped to ~278
The S4 is the next step of refinement......(227HP)........and under $10K can 
be had w/ high mileage.

I'd say if you like the smaller chassis though, consider an older A4Q and 
tweak the turbo.  It will be somewhat nimble, but feel heavier than your ~2800 
lbs 4000Q.

Two ideas which boil down to which size do you like?
