I'm going by the statement made by the founder of MTM, who worked for Audi developement for 20 years. He claimed that they could modify the S4's 2.7L to 450 hp without affecting engine reliability. As for the specifics: I'll be happy to forward you their email address.

: Aha, you drop compression to 7.5-8 and blow 20-24 boost - bottom end needs to be modified, heads, cams and so on. European Car magasine had a review of 1.8 motor quite some time ago. For 15-17K I can have 550+ hp 7.5 boost 4.4 whcih would last for 100K miles easily. I thougt you were talking about money factor here, did you not ? Now think about it, 550+ hp on 3450 dry curb weight car. Audi, where are you ?

: Stepan.
