good choice. I had a ur-q I smashed up pretty good in my younger days, and I still mess with the 5 cylinders when the urge gets me. Always wanted an S6, never got around to it. As soon as I can load an RS2 on a boat that will be my next likely enough

What are you driving now? I love the feel the single turbo, but I miss the massive amounts of low end power the 2.7 could give me. I mainly blame my lack of manual experience, with the 5 banger I need to plan ahead more so I'm in the money when I want/need to be(3k rpm and above). The 2.7 was full boost/power at 2k rpm, and held that well into 5.5k. It dyno'd for 325whp and 387 wtq, MTM tuned with k03s(stock snails). One day Im going to getting another one, I learned way to much wrenching and what not to not put that knowledge back to work (when the wallet/wife will allow of course).

no Audis in the fleet. Mercedes E320 4matic wagon as a DD, just sold my alfas and peugeot (504 and 505 turbo wagons)s last month. Have a 63 Buick Invicta wagon I am picking up this week on Friday to store and work on for the winter.

As you can see here though, in my continuing list of cars owned. Very 5 cylinder strong. I know them inside and out if you need any info. TFritch is a whiz with them too

THAT LIST! I wanna be just like you when I grow up! HOLY COW.

The S6 is only my third, haha. Yea I'm learning my way around the 2.2, replacing the front end tie rods and control arms this week, that should fix the death wobble. Already stiffened things up from the snub mound back (all poly bushings). Also going to have to replace the AC comp, starting to make the "I want attention" noise. Next is sourcing another motor for a complete rebuild, then marrying that to a 6mt I had for the B5s race car build (which clearly isn't going to happen anymore), thinking of going 4:1 while I'm at it. I also have an Rs2 exhaust manifold, turbo and injectors, still unsure when I'm going to throw those in since I would want to go stand alone ecu as well.

big plans! If you are going so deep I would almost grab a 100 avant for a build project and go from there. S6's in stock shape are getting harder and harder to find, and if yours is stock that only makes it more attractive (in my eyes at least - sort of a purist)

I totally with you on the stock appearance. I plan on keeping it on the kosher side of the modification divide for maximum curb appeal. fortunately none of the modifications (besides the stand alone ecu) require any retrofitting, I like to keep things 100% plug and play. I plan on keeping it till the good lord decides I shouldn't have it anymore.

ha in that case go buck nutty. It is a great platform for modding, and those 5 cylinders can hold a whole lot of power! At least you dont have to worry about all the S4 problems anymore!
