so i have a 2000 audi a4-s4 quattro 5speed. ive done quite a bit to it since ive gotten it. garret gtw3684. forged h beam rods 8:1 JE pistons. ported and flow tested head.
stock crank. Je bearings and journals. eurotune stage 3 tune with 2 step and 3 programmable settings. on a nice cold day im running a consistant 24 psi and usually run a 11.8x
Id like to touch the 10s with this car and most everything ive read states that it will "never happen" with a stock bottom end 1.8t. my curiosity comes with whether or not
i should up the psi to perhaps 30 and risk blowing my head off the block. OR should i stud the block and run between a 75-150 shot WOT. i dont know which will be more affective.

and if i do swap turbos which would be better?

Define "affective" and maybe someone can make a recommendation.

I noticed the 20+ year old camaro with hoopty rims, in your profile. Do you have a pic of the Audi?

"hoopty" ls2 t56. yea let me tinypic it. and by effective what will cost less and do less damage. i know to get this sled in the 10s im gonna break alot more. than i already have. thats the list of upgrades that actually need mention, other non mentionables are obviously clutch axles lsds.

Are you anonymous?

no, he's hitnrunknine

perhaps

What is the weak link on the stock bottom end?

currently nothing. its strong. i just dont know how much more it will take. i would assume (super shot in the dark) im north of 360 awhp.
i just am trying to figure out if another 5-8 psi is more potentially damaging than a 75 shot.

And that is why I'm asking what the weak link is? What will break first? If it is detonation related run a methanol injection kit instead of nitrous and turn the boost up. If it is the crank then there isn't much you can do.
