S4 / RS4 (B5 Platform) Discussion Discussion forum for the B5 Audi S4 & RS4 produced from 1998-2002

OK, if the pricing was the same, would you rather have RS4 OEM parts or AWE parts for a K04 kit?

and let's just say the "injector headroom/flowrate" issue was addressed & rectified regarding the RS4 injectors

Default Comes down to numbers and reliablitiy...

because numbers are all seemingly close to the same, and I'd like to think that Audi addressed reliability in it's OEM RS4 parts, I'd say RS4. But time will tell.

RS4 conversion wont' be 100% the same, not on just bolt ons... tweaked heads.

Its not a complete hardware issue, tuning is what I went after.

Added Question: Provided all of the software was transparent, which parts then?

Default oops

What are you talking about the MAF housing, or the S-flow isn't the rest of the kit OEM?

Default of course....depending on the price tag....i would always go for OEM factory...

i am sure audi spent a pretty penny doing extensive research on these RS4 parts......you can't beat OEM imho...but then again...if the price difference is like 500%, then that would also a consideration as well......
