I do miss some things bout the GTI but the engine and overall performance wasnt one of them. The friggin apr Intercooler was huge thou, way too big you would think for that car, is wasnt THICK like say the HPF IC for the 1er, it was just really big.
Flat out the inline 6 twin turbo beats the shit outta that weak ass ko3 2.0 anyday, even with it tuned. I think i was still only putting out about 255 whp with the tune and IC and the gti's weight was pretty much exactly what the 135's is, exhaust, yada yada. The gti stock put down i think 174 whp so..
Fun shit thou, crazy lil hatchback  |

I also didnt want to experiences the dreaded cam follower problem so I got myselft a little aw 135 rocket.

Yeah the 2.0T is a great motor and responds well to mods but it will never have the power of a "chipped" N54 or N55. The A4 quattro is one of the best handling cars in the rain or ice. I love playing on the wet skidpad, can put the car where ever I want. Ill miss it but this is definately a step up in power which I'm looking for.
