Hap, 
 I can 
't help from asking why you don't just get a 2000 S4? No esp and with a chip you get the same power as you A4 with all that work. I know I know, I as you know love the reliable power of the I5T but having a stage 3+ B5 S4 avant now has made me realize how old these cars are. I love my wife's RS2'd Avant but there is no comparison in the power band. Even with the small RS2 turbo there is way more lag than my hybrid K04 S4. Anyway, just another conversation thread.

Scott, Taka and Dave

I've been following this thread with interest. As Dave knows, I now own a 
99.5 A4 1.8tqm as a daily driver. This car will never replace my S4 but it sure 
is a nice drive. What's really nice about the car is that it has the visual 
cues of the latest B5 cars without drive by wire or ESP. I bouight it with a ton 

of tasteful exterior and engine mods. The kid who owned it really wanted a B5 
S4 and made his A4 look like one to include front bumper and side 
trim/moldings. The engine is K04ed with AMS SW, FMIC, Testpipe, 5 bar FPR and 
stock 
injectors and it pulled 199.6hp/226.5tq on a Superflow chassis dyno earlier this 

week. Here at altitude, the little K04 just ran out of breath too early for me 
so 
its going under the knife next week to receive a Sportec specced tubular mani 
and a Sportec built K-16 based turbo that will max at 360 crank hp which 
should equate to 300 ATW. The early hit on the K04 is really nice but this setup 

should be close. I'm matching it with 630cc injectors, a 90mm Lightning MAF, 
larger 3x12x20 FMIC, full time wideband O2 system, EGT, adjustable FPR and Chris 

Tapp 93/100 octane tuning.

The car has a little over 100,000 miles and the stock sport suspension is 
just too soft and worn. Waiting for install are a set of Bilstein Sports and 
Eibach springs. It already has a set of H-Sport sway bars with all the nicer 
after 
market control arms and other suspension bits. I also really like the cloth 
Sport seats in these cars. They really grip. The brakes are actually pretty 
good with A8 rotors and tt carriers in front, larger rears also and SSlines all 
around. This car just might make it to Steamboat next year Scott. Anyway, its a 
lot of fun for minimal bucks. 

Hap, wit dakine lil car thoughts not from Evahboost, Maguire
