RE: Audi 200 turbo quattros

I have to correct you on a couple of points.  A CUSTOM 2 1/2" exhaust system 
will set you back less than $360 and if that gives you ~5-10 hp.  There are 
also very inexpensive tuning tricks to get you 5 here or 5 there.  K&N might 
give you ~7 and a wastegate mods might give you anouther 10-20hp.  

So what does that add up to.  400 for the exhoust, ~40 for the K&N,  ~60? for 
the wastgate mods(high end).  So if we take a conservitive # of 25 hp gained 
than a second might be in reach depending on where the power came in for a 
little less than 500. There are probably other routes to go that are more 
effective but I dont own a 200 so I cant tell you.

You must read my post in rec.autos.driving.  It's under "Audi 200TQ
question" I've got some questions there that I would like you to=20
clear up.  What kind of mods are you going to do to a Audi for less
than $500?  You can't even buy a stock exhaust for that, much less
a performance one.  That and a exhaust and filter won't gain a sec
in the 0-60 times.  Well, whatever - look at the post and clear this
up, for I just have a hard time understanding where you are getting=20
your info, it just seems to extreme.
