    Red Turbo "T" Emblem at the back?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hello all,

    Today I took my car to the service. While walking around I have noticed some of B7 A4 2.0 TFSI Quattro's have a red T sign on the trunk.

    I have the gray one as you see,


    I know that diesel sign TDI differs due to their hp's, but is there any hp change in 2.0 TFSI quattro's ? I mean as far as i know all of them are 200hp, so as mine.. If so, why do some of them have red T's?

    Re: Red Turbo "T" Emblem at the back?

    I don't know if anyone knows why they did it. They might have run out of the red T at the factory and just put the silver one on. The red could maybe be more costly. I'm not sure.

    All car with Red "T" have 50WHP+ from the factory. Even if you don't have the Red "T" if you add it you get most of the HP back.

    I noted in the first message, I asked this question to the service of the dealer in Turkey, but the service consultant did not know the difference.
    Therefore i decided to ask, to learn, NOT to read foolish messages.

    @Kemiksiz,
    thanks my friend. It's nice too see you here :)

    Re: Red Turbo "T" Emblem at the back?

    red T's were designed for color blinds.
    They couldn't see the silver's, so audi was kind enough to produce the red ones for the year of '06 :)

    all kiddings aside, yup, I had this question in my mind before as well :)

    but having them debadged would look better anyways :)

    When I purchase my A4 the dealer told me the 2006 vehicles had the red T. Doesn't mean anything it's just something Audi did.

    Didn't the red T on B5s mean it was a sport package?

    Re: Red Turbo "T" Emblem at the back?

    @a4dc89,
    Thanks a lot.
    It is nice really to see serious members inside in a large forum like this.

    @Sanjman,
    No problem, I do jokes, but there are some times to joke and times to answer seriously.

    @Latin Audi,
    Yeah I think so..
    Thanks a lot.

    I'm one of the moderators of a Turkish VAG forum (www.vwturk.com/forum) with registered 15.000, daily active 2.500 members. I am not an empty person on technical issues. That's why I got mad when I saw the all joking messages. I stated that I made a search but could not get an answer in the topics which came from the search. Also in our forum, we don't have many Audi users, that's why I am here. To search, to learn.. But these kind of men really annoy me.

    @cgmiller63,
    Thanks. Maybe it can be like that. One 2.0TFSI owner came with a red T sign while I was in the service, but he just left so quickly, I could not ask if his car was 06 :)

    @Clown4,
    Thanks. I will probably debadge them soon, but the red one seems nicer than the gray one.

    @Tru NY Player,
    Really :) You got to be kidding..

    @B6JoeA4, A4 S-Line,

    Re: Red Turbo "T" Emblem at the back?

    This is such a discrimination against Audis with silver "T". You know what? i will order and red T from ebay and put it right next to my silver T. Everybody should shut up then.

    This is a true statement, as soon as I took off my red T I noticed a dramatic loss in power. So I went around stealing everyone elses red T's and I have around 20 red T's on my trunk now. The car just got dynoed and is putting out 1240AWHP. First thing I want to do is race Enzoballin's mustang.

    Haha, actually, the answer you got here is pretty much the SAME "answer" that was given in all the other threads.

    No worries, we all make mistakes and are guilty of some reposts, but in this case, you were wrong. Just man up and admit it instead of giving attitude to everyone. At least they're making jokes and not outright flaming you.
