Just going by PurEvl's setup with a 408 T88 Turbo setup I would hate to do aggressive driving on the street with it ussing an A4 unless it had a manual valve body. This is why. The car is very drivable and it's easy to control traction with throttle control but if you hit it to the floor it will spool and blow the tires off,nail the rev limiter -even at 90mph (Nitto 315's) .Now take an A4 in drive. You go heavy from a stop light,the Turbo spools and the next thing you know the speedo is pegged because it went through the gears.So your going 60mph but the tires are going 180mph.This makes the car hard to control if it decides to go sideway's because the tires have no chance of grabbing while they are spinning that fast. Sometimes it is still fun though.

This thread, started by the same guy that wanted to take off his rear brakes (ditch the rotor and caliper) to free up RWHP during roll-ons on the street. 
The logic is of none I've ever seen before. Every post seems to carry it. I'm sure ******* glad I don't have you on the roads in MY state......I'd move.

I can agree with this, but I still go back to the fact you have less exhaust to turn those 2 smaller wheels. I wonder what the actual difference is between say a 91mm's rotaional weight on the compressor/shaft/tubine vs and twins of the equal flow. But then we would also have to figure out the heat loss in the piping for the single and the turns in the exhaust too.

Its the hit a FI car takes when the boost comes in that I'm wondering about. It would suck if it just comes out of nowhere and is out of control.
Thats why the goal is much more than that
