Must be a typo,

- No turn signal on the mirror;
- No ugly chrome high beam housing;
- two tone rear bumper.

Therefore it is an 07...

GT3071R (.63 a/r, 3.0" Vband Exhaust Housing, 4" Inlet w/ Antisurge and polished compressor housing)

ATP T3 Manifold

ATP 3" VBand Downpipe

Tial 38mm External Wastegate with open dump.

It will eventually be swaped for a b5 S4 2.7 twin turbo with the same turbos. It will be daily driven as well.
It shoudl make over 1000 to the rear wheel since I will be swapping the quattro to make it rear wheel. I have not thought that out yet but it will be done

Wow, to get rid of Quattro for RWD?!

Instead of mechanically swapping it, maybe the quattro system can be tricked into delivering power to the rear only?
