Future Audi : is there a TDI planned ?

[Sean cole]

I find this whole thing funny.  For the most part the people that want a tdi
want fuel economy, but you can really have the best of both worlds in the
tdi.  I had an 03 TDi golf that had being worked over with cam , tune,
injectors, port work, egr delete, etc.  Car was a blast to drive, as quick
as it's 1.8t brethren  with similar money invested.  My little tdi would
easily do 550-600 a tank in town (38-40).  On long trips even with the US
(IE shorter gearing) I could do mid 50's without much work.

I've got several friends in the US TDI performance world and some of these
cars are just silly.  220WHp from a 1.9L engine that rips tires from wheels
like it's a V8, but still gives mid 30's in town and low to mid 50's on the
highway.

I'd love a A5 with a 3.0L I'd make some calls and get the euro tune for it
with the dpf delete, and crank the boost up.  300Hp is easy 350Hp can be
done with that turbo which is roughly 550-600ft-lbs making the a5 TDI faster
then it's S5 or S4 competition neither of which can yield mid 40's even
stock, let alone tuned.
