Daily Driver or Turbo??? 7.5@90
also have the Z that is listed for a DD...
**THE QUESTION**
should i sell the DD and put my TA back to stock everything but the converter and go with this setup ----- https://ls1tech.com/forums/member.php?u=116524 ----- it would lower my outgoing money per month by about 40-50$ or so and i would make about 100 or so HP more just on 5#s.. plus WAAAY better gas mileage and i would get to DD my TA again.. while still being a beast!

why do you say no to the STS.. any other kits relative in price that are better??? i dont mind spending a few extra muchos.. im going to buy used.. one with like 5k miles on it..
the guy that sold him his has another complete kit with a FMIC guages and everything for 3000$.. i dont know a lot about turbos.. not at all.. just what ive picked up here and there and what ive been looking at all night.

id rather boost the m6 personally i love that shhhh everytime you shift keep the a4 track and boost the m6, or swap em up. make the ta m6 and the z a4 sell the z and boost the ta yay lol. turbo+m6=even better fuel economy and much more fun.

it wouldnt be a drag car than though. it would be a fun daily driver like you said. if your worried about the lag than i dont think you should be looking into the sts kit at all but thats only if your worried about it. personally i would only turbo a stick thats just me and sc or spray an auto. if your seriously that worried about the lag than continue the way you are and spray your drag car you'll be just as fast and not have to sell your dd.

thank you, i am looking for intelligent responses.. stalled a4s are wonderful to turbo.. not m6s.. why do you think 90% of the people that have m6s and decide to go with a rearmount BITCH AND BITCH about how bad lag is.. hardly ever hear an a4 guy, if you do its just his setup isnt complete/correct..

again.. if i do this it IS going to be on the TA.. and the TA IS going to remain an A4 with a 4000 stall.. im 98% sure that it is going to be an STS.. i have my eyes on one..
if you guys know of a kit that is as good or better than the STS for close to the same price.. let me know please...

so if your 98% set on getting the sts than what is this thread about?your 98% about getting the kit which means your 98% about selling your z which means this thread is 98% non sense since you know everything about what your asking than you've already done some hard thinking it seems like its going to be cheaper and better for you in the long run because it seems like what you really want is to drive your boosted a4 ta daily. I say go ahead and do it and dont waste anymore of your time on this post lol. you seem like you know what you want already. you should have just said i want to turbo my a4 ta does anyone have a kit around $3000.

Id keep both and slowly mod the TA. I plan on making my T/A my DD when i get it running again and then buying another camaro as a fun car. Only thing is I would rather have the m6 for DD for the better gas mileage and the a4 for the drag car for the better consistancy
