B5 S4, operation money pit. Forever evolving, never ending.

Cool, www.pdautowerks.com I'm not on Facebook but he is. He has a B5 A4 track car he is building right now. Its getting the suspension from 034's time attack car, turbo upgrade, Porsche brakes, cage etc.

You guys in on Saturdays? I saw the shop on a Starbucks run last week, I may stop by after work.

One of us is usually there on the weekends if not both of us... just knock on the door or if its open come on in!

Edit: While you are dealing with tune headaches I thought I'd mention he just became a Malone Tuning dealer, might want to chit chat with him a little about the tune you have now VS the Malone tune(s) he offers. We just did my TDI Jetta and he said its night and day versus other companies out there. Rocketchip for example tends to run really aggressive tunes/ boost levels for the VE TDIs whereas the Malone is a lot more daily driver freindly but still packs a nice punch. Just a thought.

My 2000 s4. Sold her with around 135k on the clock. VAST RS6 turbos, VAST tune (spike 25psi hold 23psi), FMIC, OEM B5 RS4 Ypipe, straightpipe with only 1 muffler (sounded amazing), BBS CH black edition, black/grey suede interior, H&R sport spring, stoptech slotted rotors, etc.....

~485awhp, stupid fast. Drove it daily for about 10months. Amazing car, sold it due to inevitable high maintenance costs when something went horrendously wrong.

Pulled relatively hard on a later model 4.6 GT Mustang tonight. In his defense, he had 2 kids and an adult passenger in the car.

In my defense, I pulled relatively hard on him. Don't get me wrong, I am not bragging. That's not a car to brag about being faster than, but for a DD with a tune.....

I like this car.... Alot.

Great looking car. Meh, all cars are expensive when something big goes.

Nice looking B5. I've had 4 ranging from stock with a tune, to K04's, to RS6 turbos! Quick cars and I had great luck/reliability with all of them

Congrats, you pulled on a 260hp Mustang in an S4. Next on your kill list? A Civic perhaps?

My brother has a B6 A4 that him and I swapped a 2.7t from a A6 into. He previously had a Stage 3 B5 S4. Fun cars.

Nice try. Your reading comprehension shows.

For the record, the 3v was 300hp. S4 stage 1 is only around 310.

So do I order Borla cat back or keep saving for turbo fund?

Other option, install new driveline mounts and lower it first.

more powahhhh

[Exodus_2pt0]

^ agreed. I also think when turbo time comes I will be going with SRM rs6 k24's. Should be able to push 450whp on pump, and take it over 500whp with meth when I decide to install rods. Rods won't be done until we have our house and this becomes a toy.

[Exodus_2pt0]

I didn't follow advise.

Snagged a set of lightly used tein s-tech springs, going to hold off on install until I fork up the cash for some billy sports and ecs 10mm spacer kit.

Trying desperately to stick to my plan of doing things right. I slipped a little on the teins, but they have the same spring rates as the stock s4, with a 2" ish drop. Coupled with the billsteins they should serve me well.

[Exodus_2pt0]

Had an absolute blast this morning!

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Dude local to me just finished breaking in his s4 with the new build. Pushing 900 horsepower now. Thing is a rocket ship.
