No idea what I'm talking about? :rofl: I guess the fact I build drag cars I would have no clue :rofl: The stock turbo in the A4 uses the IS20, same as the GTI, which is small. It won't benefit from more IAT's that the larger turbos will. Which is why all you need is a high flow filter to achieve the same results as it already has a air intake that is grabbing air through the front bumper, just like aftermarket ones. While the exhaust isn't as free flowing as the GTI counterpart you're only going to get about 12 horsepower from it (dyno proven) which to the wheels with a 20% drivetrain loss is only about 10hp. Plenty of exhausts for the A4 are $1,000 or more. I buy a downpipe for $400 dollars and a GIAC stage 2 tune for $550 and go from about 225 to about 30 horsepower. But sure, what do I know? :rofl: :rofl: (For a side night the fastest quarter mile times for the EA888 Gen3 engine, which is what the B9 A4 has that the guy asking owns, all the top cars are running stock exhaust with stock intake. But what do 500 horsepower cars know either)
300hp on the stock turbo from the ea888 engine? lol they blow up stock all the time. wouldnt personally mess with that turbo atall...
i ran ~260hp on my stock k03 (another brand, but still a borg warner core wich isnt known to fail compared to the gti turbos) and all it took was about 20 minutes of full throttle and the bearings where GONE. oil everywhere in my pipings and smoking big time ofc.
