Default any Stage I S4 now A4 2.0T owners here?

Are you happy you made the move? Does a chipped 2.0T compare (speed wise) descently with a stage I S4? Thinking about making the switch, but I'm a torque ***** now, and not sure if I'll be happy with the 2.0T chipped.

Thanx in advance for your opinions!

Default Well APR indicates 292 torque, while their stage 1 B5 S4 shows 382 lb-ft.

And a Stage 1 B6 S4 is a claimed 312 lb-ft.

Default Having had a B5 S4 and now to the 2.0T...

The 91 Octane program on the 2.0T feels stronger than a stock B5 S4. On 100 Octane it feels much more like a chipped B5 S4, and it would probably pull a B6 or B7 S4 (though I haven't had the chance to try). The 2.0 feels very torquey down low, so you actually feel faster if you short-shift it and don't run it all the way to red line.

I'm looking forward to the extra power an aftermarket exhaust will give...

Default B5 S4 rules. It was my first choice but almost impossible...

to find an avant with MT in low mileage, unabused condition. The 1 or 2 that I did find were sold within days, before I could even get my money together.

Sounds like a chipped 2.0T is pretty close to a stock B5 S4. Chipped S4 runs away though.

How about a former stage III S4 owner a couple years back and now 2.0T owner?

So, what do you think of the 2.0T performance? Big letdown after your modded S4?
