about PES supercharger--
280HP 260lb Torque... One thing i'm concerned about is that the torque is lower than the horsepower, is there a big drive difference? Most European cars are passionate about keeping the torque above the HP or else it will drive like a japanese car.
Does it drive like a japanese car (in terms of no feeling of power at high speeds but instead continuous acceleration)?
thanks!

It would only feel "Japanese" ( I assume you mean VTEC like) if...
the torque was SIGNIFICANTLY lower than HP, and peaked at 5500 or something. I couldn't find figures on their site, but I'd assume that the PES's 262lbs/ft came on before 3k. Compare that to stock and tell me you wouldn't get pushed back in your seat the moment you launched! ;-)<p><a href="http://registry.audiworld.com/audi/registry/details.asp?car=2361"> <img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/jasonh_aw_sig.gif" border=0></a>

I didn't think that the Tip could handle the power. I rode in a 'charged 30V and it was just amazing

The launch is more than a "push" into your seat! :-) More of an "Ow ow ow seat frame hurts!" j/k

I thought the limit was 300/300. Hey a TT now too? You suing the pants of that bug owner?

I was going to use the term "thrown", but having not been in one I didn't want to exagerate!

Apparently they have a Tip chip for the PES supercharger going for 400$
Thanks for the input you guys! Well i understand the initial launch is increadible, but at high speeds, will it produce that same oomph? sniff sniff i miss my bimmer right now *sigh*... (dont get me wrong, i love my audi, but need more power!)
Or would it be wiser (money wise, long term wise) to replace throttle, cam, spark plugs for performance?

Yes the PES system has oomph at high speeds too..
The other mods you mentioned will never come close to the power of the PES system.
You have to decide how much power you want in the end and at what price. If you replace throttle body, cam, and all that other stuff it probably would have been cheaper to get a supercharger.

The car is freakin awesome at....
High speed. From 100mph in 5th I can plant the pedal and unlike a NA engine where it runs outta steam at about 110-115 it pulls all the way to 150. nice
