Default A8 Modifications?

Anyone tried to increase the performance of a 99 A8?
If you have, what did you do and what results?

Put a MTM twin turbo kit on it and get 550 hp. There is one here in LA. It is a Euro S8 with the kit

Default If you have 312 x 25mm front rotors and single piston calipers, upgrade them to the front brakes..

that are now standard on the '01 A8's: HP-2 calipers and 321 x 30mm rotors that are also on the S4, A6 2.7T, A6 4.2's.
