You can also get a larger Throttle Body for the 12v A4. Wettrauer
and Tap both have these I think as well as one other firm. Very noticable
difference throughout power band, mainly mid and upper.

FIrst of all. You are forgetting about the A4 12v. These came on
the earlier A4s and are same motor as on earlier A6. 172 hp I think. THe
30v kit wont work on these due to different ECU etc but I seems to me the
mechanicals would work. All you need is the re-programed 12v ECU. Just
making a point. BTW, I think there is one company that said that after
release of their 30v kit, they would release a 12v version for
A6/100/Early A4 owners. Even the Cabriolet could use this maybe. Not
sure though.
