Default Re: turbo lag comparison in 180Q vs 225

i took delivery of my 180q in september and drove the 225q last week. more noticeable lag in first gear but once you get the revs up it comes on strong. i really liked 2nd & 3rd gear (unless you're concerned about gas mileage or going 100mph, there's no need for 4th,5th or 6th!) the car reminds me of an 80's vintage 911 turbo in that the power just keeps on coming!

if you had planned on upgrading, i say do it. i did not like the upgraded 5-spoke wheels. couldn't tell any difference in the suspension mods and didn't go fast enough to have the wing help out.

good luck.

Default hmm twin k03's

Imagine the plumbing nightmare hooking two K03's up to a transverse I4 engine.....S4 works well though with the two banks of cylinders and twin exhaust manifolds already there.

Would rock though!!<p><a href="mailto:your@address.com"><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/Signature/GrahamsTT.jpg" border="0" alt="http://registry.audiworld.com/audi/registry/details.asp?car=3544"></a>

I think that the toss-back into the seat that you're feeling is the Q's traction/final drive.
