Default 450 HP for $1800! Why can't this be done with the S4? (more)

Just oout of curiosity, why can't a kit like this be put together for the S4/A6 2.7T? They are both stock 6 cyl twin turbos? And for $1800? I paid that for my K04 kit.<ul><li><a href="http://www.suprastore.com/supra/450hppackage.html">http://www.suprastore.com/supra/450hppackage.html</a</li></ul>

Default don't know.. but a bi-turbo with simulatneous turbo boost leads to much less lag - more driver

friendly. Besides, who knows if that's 400+ RELIABLE hp?? You can easily get a chip, exhaust + k&n for an S4 and get rather reliable 320hp - with little turbo lag.

Default You probably can but S4 people use chips with not much......

boost, and supra people use boost controllers, and just crank up the boost to way past what a chip company would set it at.

Default What is the difference between, let's say, APR engineers and SupraStore engineers?

They face the same liability? Why can the Toyota handle the boost where the Audi cannot?

Default S4 is not a twin turbo, it is a bi-turbo...

the Supra has two turbos, that work sequentially... the S4 has two turbos that work in conjunction....

also, the S4 doesn't spin its tires straight thru 2nd/3rd gear

Default I think most audi owners would not risk it, and most supra owners would.....more

im sure the audi could handle it. But not many people have dared to try it with the audi, and a lot of supra owners have tried it, and it holds up. I know if i had an S4 that i didnt have to worry about expense or warranty on i would be able to get 450 horses out of pretty easily, and same with a supra, if any one disagrees with me, buy me the car and i bet i could prove it to you in just a couple of months!!!
