RE: 1.8t vs 4.6 2v
The "1.8T" question seems like a recurring nightmare on here. I have had a GTI, and most recently a Jetta with the 1.8T. These cars are more than what most people give them credit for. I saw an Audi TT with a 1.8T dyno 427 HP at the wheels at the Truck Bash in Indy. Just a little bit goes a long way with them. Just be careful if the car has an "S" somewhere on it, or Stainless Mirrors. I don't care what you have, that one will eat you alive!

I used to have an 2000 s4, but I replaced the silver mirrors, so I know a little about them. Even if he has a new turbo and is pushing alot of boost it would be a good race and he would win by a little if he is a good driver. If he doesn't have a new turbo you will kill him.

22psi isnt a whole lot on those, my friend runs like 18psi on a stock turbo with a chip and exhaust and awd. i own him from a dig. it takes a while for the turbo to spool up, then they dont have any torque to help them. you should be fine.
