I found this and wondered what you thought.
It would mean selling wifeys VR6 and a RIB but would it be worth it?

So for 280HP total costs would be around 9000 euros (£6000) and would take about 2 weeks, so a flight and eurotunnel trip would need to be costed in.

My estimate is 127HP per litre, simple maths says 381 for your 3 litre – more then a M3. Tempted now
 
what about selling the Beemer, and buying an S4 and RS2 Avant with the ££ you would spend on the mods? You could also chip the Audi for less than £1k.

Now tell me thats a bad idea /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
 
Sorry but I think thats a hell of alot of money for 5/6psi. If you want this done properly drop the CR, more boost ( like 10psi+ ) *then* it'd be worth the money.

Bin the beemer, buy a turbo car.... cheaper to tune.

Not the answer you wanted I know!

Nice idea, but the (trouble brewing) prob is that the BMW drives better for me than a S2, and even with the mods would cost half an RS4! And go as quickly....theoreticaly /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
 
Hmm find out if its a z-Eng blower.. they have a website so Im sure if you can compare pics. If it is let me know..
