  Well, sounds interesting. Is it as easy as you say ? Even on the      
  150bhp Turbo you'll be able to increase power that much ?

      Hi Mitch,
 
      Yes, this car is going to be a peformance junkie's dream...
 
      Here is what I have so far...THE PERFORMANCE GUYS AT MY STORE
      CAN HAVE THESE MODS DONE BEFORE YOU TAKE DELIVERY OF YOUR CAR
      (if you were to buy one).

      THE WARRANTY...the manufacturer cannot deny warrany just because
      car has been modified...this is a Federal law.  However, if they
      can prove that the new parts or labor caused problem than they
      can deny warranty.  These people are Audi techs and the head guy
      has 25yrs+ exp.  They have been modifing S4's and S6's for the    
      last 4 yrs and the turbo cars before them...so this shouldn't be a
      problem.
 
      The stock engine is 150bhp
 
      190hp  is a modification to the computer control box and a K&N
                filter...$600-$650
 
      220hp  is an increase in boost pressure on turbo plus the addition
             of a high rate wastegate actuator...$750-$800 Total price
             and 0-60 in the low 6 sec range!
 
      260hp  is new cam shafts...plus all of the above or $2350
 
      280hp-300hp...at this point the org turbo runs out of gas, so
                    to get above 260hp you need new turbo, specifically
                    the K24 turbo on the S6...plus all of the above mods
                    = $3550 and 0-60 in the low 5 sec range!
 
      All of these hp projections and $ projections are precisely       
      that...projections, I won't have definitive numbers until we have 
      the cars and the work begins...
 
      Automatic trans cars will be here in Nov and stick will be here in
      Jan or Feb...

      For the 2.8L car, we have a supercharger in the works...it should 
      be avail in 2 to 3 months.  This will give the car 260hp? or there 
      about and will cost about $4500-$5000 total.
 
      A chip should be avail in the next 6 months for 20hp
