Do people not use google any more?
How on earth can you compare a 1.8t to an S4? It's like saying you don't mind if you sleep with Ann Widecombe or Angelina Jolie because they've both got all the right bits.

Within your budget on a B7. If you can find a couple of grand under the bed it will get you into a B8.
I know which I would rather have
get a B5 S4, whack a full stainless exhaust on, and be prepared for one of the most amazing noises you have heard in your life, save yourself a few grand to spend on petrol
how handy are you with spanners or how much cash do you have in the bank?
I went 1.8t as it is emminently tunable for the size, you only need 4 of everything for engine components and one of everything turbo/mani/exhaust wise and the only thing that requires the engine being pulled is changing the clutch.
a set of rods, beefier clutch and a big turbo conversion and you could be well over 400bhp at a reasonable cost.
add some uprated valvetrain and a few bits and bobs and there are GT35/40 equipped 1.8ts running nutty power
by contrast the S4 has an awesome sound track will get you potentially higher gains and a smoother power curve but at a cost.
6x everything for engine upgrade
double the amount of turbos, manis, CAT/decat, exhausts and you better get very comfortable pulling engines if you dont have a ready supply of cash for someone else to do it.
400+bhp on an S4 is potentially easier to reach...but IMO will cost you more
if you only are looking for 300+bhp...just get the S4 and be done!
