currently driving a 2007 VW GLI 2.0T with DSG.

next, i will plan to build something like the pic in my sig.
My IS250 replaced my totalled 2003 A4 1.8T, a car I really loved and did not want to give up. I have always been a Euro car fan, so the IS was a stretch for me (I would have done another A4, but the new model is still not out yet.). At this point, I still see myself going back to Audi for the interior and handling. But on the other hand, the IS has been a very nice ride so far. I may change my mind about things as the miles roll on and this car proves itself ultra reliable. The A4 was never in the shop for a breakdown, but it did have some strange mechanical traits that popped up. We'll see how time plays things out and how the next IS looks.

Do you still have the S? Your sig says that its sold. If you do still have it, have you tried running 60lb injectors instead of the 42lb injectors that come with the AWE kit? With the proper tuning it should propel you into the 11's.

Two tuners (VF Engineering and Autospeed) are supposedly bringing out supercharger kits for my B7 later this month - one is claiming 550-600 cHP!

some hardcore VAG fans in this forum
no wonder your IS350 is stock

I always like the AWE upgrades too.
a VF'ed S4 would be awesome!!! post pics when you get them!
