New S4, ???

Post by Conti » Fri May 16, 2003 6:41 pm

I've seen a new S4 today! (looked great) (black)
It had a quiet funny spoiler [img]images/graemlins/idea.gif[/img], seemed like the spoiler from the old S4, but more modern of course.
Does anyone know the tuner? [img]images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

Is the new S4 available with any mods yet?

I guess the exhaust is the first obvious choice, then re-map/new ECU maybe? [img]images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Also the brakes and suspension from Quattro GMBH I guess. Anyone started their mods yet on the B6?

Thanks for the comments, will be interesting to see what the early owners feel and whether they start tinkering from day 1.. [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

As feelou states, the new S4 has limited tuning potential from ECU remap alone. The engine will undoubtedly be pretty close to its maximum performance already.

I'm sure that someone will offer a supercharger kit for it, assuming that one can be fitted in (there was space on the V6 Golf...).

However without the turbos the new S4 is mostly WYSIWYG. If you want more, you'll need the new RS4. That's what I'll wait for, although whilst all you guys continue to allow Audi to rip us off, I'll have to go through the import route again...

Had a look under the hood today and there is no way that a supercharger will fit in there [img]images/graemlins/033102bigblink_1_prv.gif[/img]
