Looking for anyone (besides ABT in Germany) who has done this ?

Wish Audi had put the DSG tranny into something decent besides the TT ... :-(

they're better, faster, stronger, superior in every way but NOT AS MUCH FUN!

I just can't get past that - if I were racing, I could see the point of DSG. But you can't beat the fun of a manual. Heel-toe, double-clutching, the wonderful sound and feel of it -- the DSG is amazing but I can't see myself buying one.

That's the difference between a race car and a sports car. A race car prioritizes speed (of course). A sports car prioritizes fun. I consider the B5 S4, properly tuned, to be a sports car.

A 2.7T (stage 3) in a B6/7 chassis would be awesome -- but no DSG for me, thanks.

Well....

It was a repost but some time ago. Circa early 2005 when I hosted some images on my server. If you search for MTM BT500, my old site comes up. Contact MTM for more information.

Go here if you know German
