I think it is, I could see myself having this car for a good 7 to 10 years, easily.

800whp at 8k rpm. At 6k... 100whp.

Meh. If you really want to turbo it, look at PTuning's kit. They actually have a really nice one that maintains a decent power curve. ~450whp and ~250lb-ft, but it's a fairly flat torque curve above 3k or so.

The trouble is, if you want to make real power, the car is just so peaky. I'd much rather drop an LS series engine in there and figure out how to correct the balance.

haha its not that absurd. Ill have to find the dyno sheet on facebook.

I was being facetious... partially. Red__Zed's 698whp graph is pretty funny.

But you don't even drive fast, why spend all that money to go FI?

Well, the kit would look great in his living room.

I would be okay with an LS swap....really okay.

I found a guy local to me selling an Audi 4.2fsi+ecu+harness+AWD tranny for 12k with 35k miles. If it would fit nicely that would make a disgusting s2k. chances are it would be a nightmare. Ill loook into the boosted s2k subject though. It would be a fun car to have.

we could work something out, and actually during the carlisle event, we could talk about it there.

I'm telling you Dee... look up PTuning and Inlinepro. They are local (NOVA) and have the S2K figured out.
