actually you could give us a video ride i have never seen an sti with your mods and would love to hear it too. i got passed by a lightly modded one last night pssssssssssssssssst as he was going into third. i love that sound
Sweet that's a good idea! When I meet up with Zeke down in Harrisonburg he'll have to film for me and I'll get it hosted somehow.

I actually found a video on the Ultimate Racing website of an STI with just the stage 3 GT35R kit running 15 pounds of boost. I was running 24psi on my stage 4 setup before the motor blew
This should be the same exhaust that I have, but mine sounds deeper than that and much louder because of the external wastegate. When I hit full boost, it sounds like there's a banshee under my hood. Anyway here's the video, kind of gives you an idea. Guy runs a 12.1 @ 113 on 15psi:

my gf's cousin had a black TT v6.. i dont know what year it was but its an alright car, (actually, he is in the proces of selling i believe)

but his new toy is a 06 S4...ordered it fully optioned out, heated seats, EVERYTHING,, ive driven it twice now,, i think its a 4.8 or something like that, but they are N/A V8's and it pulls pretty hard for an automatic,, its a nice car, but i cant justify 70K on it
i guess u mean the S4 ?? or do u actually mean the TT(roadster). if u mean the TT, theyre SLOW. but, i think the TT's ONLY had the 4-cyl. 1.8T, which is why theyre so slow. so, n/m. lol they messed the S4 up by going to a n/a V8 imo. i love v8's, dont get me wrong(i own one), but, idk. the S4 with the V6, paired with 2 hairdyers, awd, and a 6-spd. just, sex, imo. i saw one at a VW/Audi show......completely modded out the a$$........NO turbo lag whatsoever. he revved, it whistled. let off, BIG BOV NOISE. probably an HKS SS bov my guess. since theyre one of the louder ones on the market.

I test drove an 02 S4, but I THINK that might have been before it was turbo'd. That thing was a turd man! Felt really slow compared to my old WRX which was stage 2 at the time. Now, I definitely agree, the fit and finish was unbelievable. EXTREMELY comfortable on the inside, wood grain, leather, etc.... and the tiptronic shifting was butter smooth.
maybe TT was an option, but that was the year of the turbo'd ones i think. i think it was on a "good run", like '99/00 to '05 when they went to the v8 engine. i want to drive one. that one i saw in Ocean City at the car show, was, just, unbelievable. one of the sexiest cars i had EVER seen.

Definitely hehe. Plus, torque steer with an AWD is the craziness!

BTW that run was only at 319whp and 282wtorque. That guy was an insanely good driver.

Nah, just in a kind of frightening way lol! The electronic power-to-wheel distribution of the STI is really advanced, and even with all the heavy modifications to my car it quickly corrects itself. Not a lot of people know, but the STI ECU redistributes power to each wheel in hard cornering to improve stability. It's completely badass.

It's just when I slam on the gas, the rear end kicks out a little just like a RWD car. It happened to that guy in the video a little bit.

Try right click save target as Z, or right click open with windows media player. It plays automatically for me in WinAmp.
