What's needed/how much $$$ would I be looking at to get a 1.8t A4 to 300whp?

I'm curious because I'm going to be buying a new car in the not-too-distant future, and I want awd and turbo. A Lancer Evolution or WRX are my other options, but I've always loved the A4, and the idea of a little more of a sleeper appeals to me.

Thanks in advance,
-Ben

that's what ATPs soon to be released kit puts out.

Thanks for the info! As for the ATP kit, what type of performance am I looking at? I mean, my friend has an Evo 8, and his car with just bolt-ons made 255whp on a Dyno Dynamics chassis dyno, and it feels frickin' fast! Any idea what type of 1/4 mile times, 0-60, highway pull, etc?

I've been in all manners of sports car before, (mkiv Supras, 3rd gen RX7's, twin turbo Z's,) but the Lancer Evo has really impressed me so far.

If I was to do the ATP kit, what else would I need? Ie: clutch or other drivetrain upgrades? What about suspension and brakes?

Basically, I am looking for performance of a tuned Lancer Evo, but in the nice A4 package.

Thanks again,
-Ben

a short shifter ~170
new suspension ~600 - ~1200
snub mount ~50
exhaust ~800
clutch eventually ~500
bumper to fit a fmic under ~500
turbo timer ~100
big brakes ~500 - ~2500
all this assumes a 97-01 A4 since nobody is making that kind of power in a 02-04 yet

boost gauge ~150
rear anti-roll bar ~300
maybe a front bar too
and wheels/tires, sky's the limit.

it' got a 16g and an FMIC, more of the engine potential is just used up right out of the box.
