Would you like some more HP for xmas?

[KayGee]

The "catching up the RS4 boys" inspired me to create a Poll.

Nice one KayGee - I'm getting into these polls too, so watch this space...

However, votes don't count as posts, so please make sure you add a post along with your vote.

Cheers,

Stage 4 for me, but only if that dreaded day that knowone likes to talk about happens

[DavidT]

I've gone for stage 4, nothing else will do obviously

Can you explain the mods and hp gains for each though please ?

[confusionhunter]

Stage 1 is fast enough for me as its not my "fast car". Dont want my everyday car to be quicker than my weekend car!!!

[SimonS4MTM]

1 = remap
2 = remap + exhaust
3 = remap +exhaust + cats
4 = K04's

Is that correct??

[ChipHazzard]

I'd love some more HP but i dont think her indoors would let me run to a full stage 4 so I think i might just have to settle for a remap for the time being

[KayGee]

My understanding off the stage references. Approx. Bhp after each entry. Several notes, most people at stage 3 have ICs. Oil Coolers are also prevalent but also not included in the stage definitions.

1 = Chip. 315
2 = Chip + Catback. 325
2+ = Chip + full exhaust. 350
3- = K04 + RS4 pipework. 380
3 = Full K04 kit, Injectors, MAF, Y pipe. Spark Plugs, adapters or RS4 fuel rail. 420
4 = Hybrids + full stage 3. 480

[CliveH]

I think that's a fair summary for the purposes of this poll, although there are some mods which might be considered "intermediate" such as RS4 I/C's.

[CliveH]

KayGee, you got there before me, so disregard my comments please! Yours are much more comprehensive.

[grizz]

i just want more ! ! But i do want to know, what do i call my car , not much left of the s4 it's almost all rs4 ... ps my new flywheel & mtm manifolds arrived last week .........

[dazzer]

Mmm - was having an interesting conversation with Mihnea the other day about an upgrade using Hybrids and banging out approx 400BHP rather than 480. There must be a grey area between stage 3 and stage 4 in terms of components I guess, so I will vote for stage 3.

[CliveH]

What do the "hybrids" involve Darren?

[cpufreak]

I think that's a fair summary for the purposes of this poll, although there are some mods which might be considered "intermediate" such as RS4 I/C's.

indeed...I think I'd consider my car to be:

Stage2++ = Chip + full exhaust + Intercoolers + Panel filter. 3?0


and likely when ATP release their eliminator range of bolt on turbos for the S4, there'll maybe be a stage4+/stage5 option ranging to ~600bhp

[S2tuner]

Where's stage S as in stage stoooooopid with 550 HP on normal fuel PLUS a 100-150HP shot of nitrous???
