Default Performance modifications?

So what is the list of performance modifications people are considering for their RS4s. I'm new to Audi so I no idea what people think needs to be improved. Mostly interested in performance, suspension, exhaust, engine, etc.

Default Is there really a blower unit out there already that is real and set up for the RS4??

if so, from where and how much? What mods do you need to the internal engine components?

Default Re: Sounds unlikely to me...

Given that the engine currently has direct injection and runs 12.5:1 compression I think it would be pretty hard to add a supercharger...

Default Direct injection allows for a higher compression ratio to be used without detonation...

so 12.5:1 for this engine isn't a relative number to a port injected engine. It can and will be supercharged by MTM from what I've been told, but I expect it be <b>at least</b> 25K.

Default How does the RS4 get a blower so soon when its taken the S4 an eternity? Is this real?

Or another "we're almost there" type of rumor?

$25k sounds like hella money. I don't know much about these types of mods, but for that much money, wouldn't you just consider a totaly different car?

I guess if it weren't for the Quattro you would, but if you're married to that (as I am) you'd be interested in a blower.
