that is one very awesome car.everything is impressive especially the stereo equipment. but especially the exhaust, and especially the wheels. (can't decide what I like the best)

Man that looks good. So when are you selling it to me? lol

I have the same problem as Alex...love the wheels...love the clean stereo install...love that the water injection is hidden...just love it all around.

It keeps getting better. Enjoy the meth. Should last you quite a while, heh.

Nice! Can't read the logo on the sub. Is it Image Dynamics? I think they got their start making horn loaded compression drivers back in the day.

Yeh, I haven't been able to change the psi that the w/m starts spraying at. It's starting at 10psi, so I better change it quick, or I'll run out faster than you think

Yep, Image Dynamics IDMAX 10".

Thanks for all the feedback!!!!!!!

10psi start is higher than a lot of people do. I would have set mine around 7psi and full flow by 12 or 13psi. Most people with a 3 quart tank say they fill up about every time they get gas, so 20 gallons of 50/50 should last you 25 tanks or so.

How fast did your boost spike? And what did it spike at? I was thinking I'd go for 16-17psi, since I spike at 20-21 and hold 18-19psi. If I'm not really easy on accel front a stop light or sign, I start spraying, and I really only want it under hard accel. But yeh, I'm not too worried about running out, I'm actually going to fill up the empty can with Meth, since I have a smaller 2gal can I use for the mix, that's easier to fill the car with.

Spiked 20ish and fell quickly to 18psi and then dropped to 14 or so by redline. And yea 7psi doesn't take much throttle so it would be spraying from nearly every stoplight, but that's ok to me. It depends on your nozzle size how fast you'll go through it also.

Very nice A4 you've got there! Beautiful machine to say the least.

Although I would think it would be a bit easier to boost the 2.0T A4's than it would the 2.3 DISI motor, mostly just based on the fact that the A4's are running a smaller K03 (vs. K04), which, even with a slightly smaller motor, should spool a bit quicker, making it harder to not get into boost under accel.

With that said, while you seem to have tried to keep the tire diameters similar to avoid damage to the AWD system, at the same time, running that staggered setup is going to give the car more rear end traction, making it more prone to understeer if you ever decide to track the car.... granted, with your build, I don't think you're planning on tracking (road course/autoX, not drag) such a nice car, but figured I would mention it.

Either way, very nice machine you have there.

Yeh, outside of maybe once a year (if that) hitting a track and a few canyon runs, I'm not too worried about understeer. A4's are known for understeer in stock form, so I just enhanced it :lol:

but like I said, it doesn't see too much aggressive driving.

You can always help understeer with a fat front sway bar or by even just running an extra 5-6psi of front tire pressure. Tire pressures can have a dramatic effect on handling that most people don't realize.

I love those wheels, they are CLEAN!

LOL!

I almost went to disagree with you until I re-read the emboldened word above and realize you didn't include the words "help reduce" understeer.... smartass :lol:

To the OP, if you wanted to help the car become more neutral, adding a larger rear sway bar & raising rear tire pressure a few psi should help a bit, but since the car doesn't get driven hard much, not really a big deal.

I dig the look of the wheels, but man I wouldn't want to have to pay for those tires!! Haha!!

I may eventually get an RS4 rear sway bar. As I'll need it the next time I drive around Denver and have to elude the numerous potholes all over the place down there!!!!!!!
