btw -- don't forget to upgrade the diverter valves/blow-off valves as well as the spark plugs once you chip your S4 ... it makes a major difference to use better valves and plugs than the original Bosch's, from my experience with my old turbo A4 ...

are you planning on messing with the original turbos? and btw how many miles are you running?
I drove the 2004 S4 with the V8 a few times ... that was a rowdy, torque-y car ... always wanted to drive the older S4, I'm not sure if it weighs less since it's the V6? it's probably more "agile", having two less cylinders and all? ...
damn I'd love to go for a romp in your car

i drove an A6 4.2L across the country, very nice engine
90k miles on mine, seems like a lot to me
i got a good price with full anticipation of the timing belt and turbos
i'll wait til it's paid off to upgrade
need to tint the windows

I'd truly recommend that you do the basic necessities of upgrading before you get too stuck on the fun stuff ... remember, a fast car is all about BALANCE ... speed is just one factor in the equation ...
a good order of upgrades:
1. Air Filter (K&N) [cheap and extremely effective] 2. Engine hoses (change to silicon hoses if they exist for your S4 ... lowers the temperature by quite a bit and allows for greater air flow at all times) [not cheap] 3. Diverter valve/Blow-off valve upgrade ... [$100-200 per valve) 4. Spark Plugs (I used Denso Iridiums on my Bora and A4, I believe ... good stuff) 5. Chip (I preferred my GIAC over APR on my A4 by FAR) 6. Brakes (what good is speed without being able to stop) [super expensive] 7. Suspension (coil-overs, unless your stuck suspension is doing you well) 8. Tires 9. Exhaust 10. Intercooler 11. Aesthetic mods (new wheels, spacers, etc.)
that's my honest opinion ... either way, you got a monster of a car right there, sexy as all hell ...
this was my A4, prior to selling it:


I would have f*cked that car if I could have ... goddamned sexy beast.

the intercooler is choice, cool the tubros, better performance and efficiency
