I don't remember seeing this in the forum... Here is the link to the article with all the details:<br><ul><li><a href="http://www.turbomagazine.com/issues/1999/july/audiA4.html">July 99 Turbo Magazine - Audi A4 1.8T</a></li></ul>

Geza - the skeptical one

that a 1.8T with a K04 running 12 psi boost has 230 HP? An Audi 20V turbo (S4/S6) has almost 25% MORE displacement, runs a full bar of boost (~15 psi) through a K24 turbo with twin catalytic converters, dual exhaust and ONLY makes 227 HP. I don't know, all these "boost upgarde" HP statements sound fishy to me.

love the wheels

Zsolt

I am sure they mixed up the boost number from Stage1 (12lb) and 2 (14lb)

Corey S

I believe it, don't forget it has an exhaust system and a larger front mounted intercooler. That probably makes up for the missing boost.

Graham

I have the CDupre .8 bar chip and camshafts which are good for 210hp with the standard K03 turbo. Add the K04 and larger intercooler and 230hp is easily achievable.<p>Keeping the boost down and adding the cams is a much more engine friendly (though more expensive - in the short term anyway) way to get more hp.<p>Graham <p>
