APR stage III for the A4 is coming out
"Aussie Audi Guy"]After driving the beast, I ordered one on the spot, and my pre production kit should be here within the month:

340hp (253kw) on 98 octane fuel

Garrett/Honeywell GT28RS turbo, APR inconel manifold, APR exclusive injectors, APR FMIC, 75mm MAF housing, APR silicon hoses.

Driveabilty was nice, car was running a stock clutch which was holding up nicely (considering the development miles), car was also running the APR 2.5" exhaust. It had no trouble keeping up with the V8 S4 (as it put out near identical numbers)






The FMIC fits better behind the stock bar than the aftermarket bar, once again, this was the R&D car, production piping & brackets are neater....

Eh, i dunno how i feel about this. I really cant see it really getting 340hp. But i guess once the kit is released we will know for sure.

well

A4 = $31k loaded
+ 5-6k on the APR kit (kit for the old a4 was 5k)


S4= $50k loaded


Modded A4 is still much cheaper.
But yea if i had the money i would still buy the S4. (actually would buy a M3)

340hp on 98 octane gas...

Pump gas will yield lower numbers.
