Exactly!

S4 is a _heavy_ car (3800-3900 lb) and it feels like one. It should be
possible to get better performance out of pre-91 TQ sedan (5000 or 200) by
increasing boost, changing to a smaller turbo for low-end torque and
upgrading suspension. Brakes should be OK, discs are same size in both
5000/200 andd S4.

The only question is: what to do with all the money that's left ;) 
Hint: hydraulic system repair bills.
