while i would consider it grossly unfair for you to shoulder all the burden of taking the 2.8 in this (much anticipated, for me) direction, i'm glad you're leaving it stock when the turbo system, EMS and tuning come into the mix. i just read this thread all the way through and in the few posts above this when you were considering doing a build before the turbo, i admit i started getting a bit disappointed. glad it's staying stock - even at 200K.
i've always been vocal (to my Audi friends) that i preferred the 2.8 A4s to the 1.8Ts and i was always the lonely voice. i'm glad to see some of the enthusiasm i've seen for your project.
The dude that loves cars with character: raw, rambunctious road manners, angry triangles and four devilish rings ...
Unfortunately, this project may end abruptly; I may be shifting my focus to another A4, and taking this V6 back to stock.
While the V6-T would be fun, it is a ton of work and I have another A4 that would be much wiser to invest my time and money into. It already has a new paintjob and S4 body kit, interior, suspension, brakes, and a GT28RS 1.8T.
Hoping that someone else will step in and take up where I left off. Still a chance I'll stay with the V6, but I have no reason to have 3 running turbo'ed B5's.
Stupid bump, but are those Leistritz high flow cats.....as in OEM cats? In your first post, you can see a pic of new looking cats, and in your mod list you mention 034 high flow cats.
So yes, this project is officially dead. I am just about at the stage of beginning mockup and fabrication of the single turbo, for my S4.
Unfortunetly, I will be ditching this car all together. Just need to pull the 6 speed S4 drivetrain out, install it into the 1.8T, and then sell.
The 1.8T has a nice new Casa White paintjob, full S4 body kit, etc. I am going to rebuild the cylinder head and drive it till I want to go bigger or need to do more work.
However, folks shouldn't be bummed, because this doesn't really change anything in regards to production of the kit. I will still pay extra attention to ensure fitment on the A4 V6, and as we've discovered throughout this thread, there are surprisingly little difference between the AHA/ATQ and the APB. I'll be looking for an A4 V6 eventually to help test the kit out with lower boost and a smaller turbo.
My Precision 6262 turbo will be here next week for the S4.

Just the heat shields so they look OEM! They are high flow units though, just camouflaged. =)
SUPER good call on the switch to the S4.. a shame that it's already twin GT'd. guess you're going to find a nice home for that kit? which one was it btw?

ATP 2560 Eliminators.
I am going to pull them, most likely rebuild to be safe, and then resell them with WG all redone/reset.
I believe they can do close to 500 with meth and 30psi, but I've only done low 400's @ 20psi as I've ironed out other issues.
