I’ve experienced both.

I like the latter version

The funny thing was. The motor I had in stock form blew. After putting tons of performance parts on the second motor, it took all kinds of abuse. I think the lesson learned here, don’t drive a stock S4

That is good advice, I appreciate the warning.

Where is JHM so I can send them my CC info and save a S4??

Right here :wink:

CountVohn, not sure if you remember but don’t forget the king of all hacks trying to steal people’s money, Robert Hack and the Motodyne Supercharger!

http://www.motodyne.com/frames/audi_s4-v8.html

Being one of the few original owners of the car (since December of '04), the platform has gone through a lot of different “promises” from APR’s ‘2 weeks’ until their supercharger comes out to the Stratmosphere hot air intake. JHM/VAST performance really changed everything! They are guys that were not in it for the money (although they still need to make a living lol).

I don’t post much if anything (first post here and only like 10 total from audiworld/audizine/quattroworld/EA) but observe a lot.

Kudos to this site!!

I was pretty hot-to-trot on one before I bit the bullet on the RS4. Now I’m married to this for a while. :slight_smile:

Blah2 always good to have legacy guys here. You have been around, so you saw first hand some of what I posted. Yes, the disaster of motodyne, what a great example to add. Please, feel free to add more. I know you said you don’t post much but with so much time invested your insight will definitely be helpful.

As I mentioned this is one of many threads. The idea here is to be very in-depth with each thread.

The idea is to lay it out like this.

Pre intro
Intro and first look over and diagnosis
Phase 1 - motor removal and inspection
Phase 2- look over all the needed replacement parts and their intended replacement thoughts
Phase 3 replacement and install tips
Phase 4 motor install and first start tips and checks.
Phase 5 drive test drive
Phase Test or testing of new old ideas.
Phase Test. Try to get the car to the track.

I should get moving on the intro post here soon. I have a few things I’m doing to help some guys. As much as I would like to be more on top of this I try to make sure the guys and projects I’m working on are uptodate before I do extra stuff like this.
