Jimmy, you didn’t answer any of the questions I asked. As far as pricing goes, I don’t really care to post up exact prices, mine were pretty close because I heard if your already tuned which I am and a lot of other people are that price comes off the supercharger, and i just looked and they only take 300$ off I thought it was 500 so if you want to be exact the kit is 8195, not 8495. And I was just guessing that the kit if they released one for the 3.0 would cost between the price of a PES kit cuz it definitely wont be less than that at almost 4k, and definitely won’t be more than the S4 kit at 8500. And my head rebuild kit was only 1099, that sucks its up 100 per head, but Its still a good deal and I am 99% sure its still far cheaper than buying a hew head. But lets stay on topic of the thread here, I wanted to know a couple more things…
i know the secondary air pump needs removing, but this is the first I heard of the ac drier being removed. is it removed or just relocated? and if its removed how does that affect the functioning of the ac system?
So lets say the kit for the 3.0 came out at the exact price of the S4 kit for the 3.0 which does have a forged crank, but no forged internals and you or someone said the rods are the weak link? so how much boost can the 3.0 handle without replacing the weak links on the internal motor? How much boost does the 4.,2 handle without rebuilding internals?? and what kind of gains does it give? would it be safe to assume the 3.0 would be similar gains to the 4.2?
Sorry for so many questions at once. SO I’ll stop there. If anyone knows this information please feel free to post up their thoughts.
Also Euro, since you like saying the same thing all the time which has no relation to the topic of this thread I wasn’t even going to bother responding to your completely unhelpful post dogging the platform, which I’m sure JHM loves the sales you probably make them loose deterring so many people from modding the 3.0.
But in regards to you thinking its so much easier to sell a car and buy a S4. for one, I think my car looks way sicker than the S4 package mainly because i have such a awesome color, but just for reference for any regular 3.0 owner who wanted to sell their 3.0 and buy a S4. it would be completely impractical for them to do so because most people bought the 3.0 for owning a reliable cheaper to maintain Audi which is the exact opposite of the S4. So the cost of parts and maintenance go up, and don’t forget Insurance goes up as well. And not to mention those cars at 12k are likely in need of service which isn’t exactly the easiest DIY car to service. and most of them are approaching miles where timing chain service is due so that’s a huge bill to add in. the 3.0 just needs a timing belt which there is a DIY most anyone can follow. Also don’t forget your right about the S4 being fast, so anyone who owned it you know they were dogging it hard mobbing in it which would make a great used car to pick up. Higher insurance, higher cost parts, harder to service yourself, the car was definitely mobbed in because its clearly fast, hmm that makes a great car to trade in for? I think not, and for me personally, IMO my car looks far better than the S4 package I wouldn’t think of trading it in that would be a downgrade just to get something faster. All I need is Recaros, BBK, and Ohlins to seat better in a car that LOOKS FAR better IMO. even the Nogoro isn’t better blue than mine IMO. which is all that matters because I drive my car, nobody else. So next time you post in the 3.0 section all of us 3.0 owners would appreciate it if you posted something helpful to comtribute to the 3.0 community it would be appreciated by all us 3.0 owners.
