Default A bit nose heavy, here are pics for a good laugh, it needs a bit of work to fit though :P on a B5 S4

Wonder what the finished product looks like, if they finished it. Any guess on weight distribution? 70/30 lol

Default well, sort of.

looks like they took down the pics since <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/rs4b7/msgs/95675.phtml">this</a> was posted. it actually wasn't a RS4, but was definitely a B7...probably a A4.

Default I don't see how there would be any room

After having the entire front end off on my S4, everything is really, really tight. No way there would be room for turbos, unless they were mounted rearward....like towards the gas tank!

RS4 fenders don't make the engine bay wider, just the wheel well.
