This B7 A4 2.0t quattro has a well rounded package between the H&R Sport spings, APR Stage III turbo kit, Brembo 6 piston brakes, and Audi S5 wheels.
Modest Beginnings....H&R Sports on stock wheels
Then, onto more power....APR Stage III Turbo Kit:
APR's Stage III turbo kit for the B7 2.0t platform is the ultimate performance upgrade boasting power figures of 375hp and 352lb/ft of torque. However no performance modification is worthwhile without proper preparation. That's why with this A4 we started by inspecting the fuel pump camshaft follower and discovered that it was worn clear through, requiring replacement of the intake camshaft, camshaft follower, and the high pressure fuel pump. Along with this work we also replaced the timing belt, water pump, and related tensioners/rollers to be sure that our customer would enjoy the trouble free driving pleasure that he deserves.
OOOps...2.0T owners should be familiar with this:
Got back in-line and finished the turbo kit install:
Then inside to a PODI Dual-Gauge:
After the Stage III turbocharger our customer wanted to apply the next step towards preparing his car for one of our upcoming track events. With all of that power we knew he would quickly overheat the stock Audi brakes. To match the ultimate in engine performance we installed the ultimate in breaking performance: Brembo M1 Monobloc 6 piston calipers in the front and Brembo M1 Monobloc 4 piston calipers in the rear clamping on Brembo 355x32mm and 345x28mm 2-piece discs respectively.
Then the S5 Gunmetal wheels went on:

Find me a better set of headlights with the LED's and I'll check them out.. I think these are certainly better than the stock halogens that I had previously.
GMP.. love the post! Thanks again you guys..
I blame Steven most of all for getting me amped up to get most of this done.. he sold me on the track days, and how much fun it is. I can't wait for the upcoming months!

Flys LEDs in OEM Bi-Xenons?!?!?!
Just a personal preference though... I'm digging the car don't get me wrong, just thought if you can afford to put this kind of money into your baby you could have possibly sourced some better headlights that don't look like they deserve to be on a Honda...

I bought the headlights a while back.. and I'm definitely sold on the LED/Xenon look. Where could I find the OEM Bi-Xenons with that LED strip?
Phil(fly300kts) installs the LEDs into OEM Bi-Xenons which if I'm not mistaken he just had a set in the classifieds about a week or two ago. I'm sure Phil will chime in shortly, but if not Jens(lowestA4) is a guy from Germany that sources a lot of the Bi-Xenon headlights you see on the 'zine.

Thanks.. Hopefully he chimes in at some point. Maybe I will get lucky and he will have the Bi-Xenons for sale with the LED Strip already installed!! Fingers Crossed!
Fly is lighting guru, we know! But alot of people don't like how the LEDs on his lights sit, me being one of them.
I just pointed out in the beginning that an OEM or retro-fit set would look better with the way he is going with his car.. He mentioned that he was sold on the LED/Xenon combo so I pointed him towards Phil... I totally understand that it is a personal preference, but I was just showing him that there are other options because it sounds like he wasn't aware of the fact..

Awesome car, function over form. Something not seen much in our community... Only thing I would want to change would be the headlights for oem bi-xenons(skip the LED retrofit) and maybe upgrade the outside to s-line status along with some S4 door blades, those upgrades would go nicely with the S5 wheels and would help the oem+ vibe...

Lol, just did a quick google search and this is what popped up... I wanted to give the OP an idea of what I was talking about

That is the sickest picture I have seen of Phil's lights. That's actually Phil's car, iirc. Thing being, I believe those actual headlights in that picture, are not the same led look as the current model he is producing. I know he has his reasons for the current design, but imo, the leds are too far apart. They just aren't for me. Nonetheless, I like them, just don't want a set of my own. But I would take the ones in that picture.
Unless I have it completely backwards, and those are the current setup? Maybe the ones I have seen in person were older revisions? Anybody confirm? Phil?
^^^^^^^You act like you haven't seen my car before............ I've had V3 and V4. So JR is hatin on my ride!!!!! I'll see you in Parker at noon!!!!!!!

Now I'm interested in HP/TQ
JR is putting down more on a KO3 than some of these KO4 guys.... 6k$
Torque, for sure, and I wouldn't trade all my torque for an extra 40 whp. Again, I hope every APR stage 3 build proves me wrong, but alas, just like the K04 build, it always disappoints.
