then with some headwork i'd imagine there's more to be had....
a set of rods, drop the compression ratio slightly so you can up the boost and some better flowing heads....

Waw, well that took a bloody long time to read all that and I just had to sign up to say what a fantastic car you have built.
Everything is just perfect. I recently got myself an 3.0 A5 black edition Quattro and I will definitely need some advice from yourself at some point if you don't mind answering questions.
I have done a couple of mods already like painting the brakes and a carbon fibre lip spoiler. Upgrading bulbs to LEDs etc. Dpf delete and remap. I will be looking to change exhaust and rear defuser soon but not sure what to do. Was thinking quad pipes like the S5.
Another one is the wheels. Not sure if to go 20s or 21s. The arch gap is massive currently and I would want them flush with the bodywork like yours. But I'm terrible with things like wheel size and et etc.
Maybe your next mod could be sweeping indicator lights? I know they are on my list and they would be a great addition I think.
Anyway I will be following this thread for more updates and very nice car mate.

Cuppa was last active on here nearly 18 months ago. No idea whether he still checks in for a read or not, but doubt you will get a reply.

What happened to this car? Interestingly, I have the same car with 64K original miles here in 2020. Thinking of all sorts of stuff i'd like to do to it! Is supercharging the only way to make more grunt? now that the car is basically 12 years old (but still perfect, not a dent, no real road rash, garaged, driven 3K miles a year'ish, interior perfect), I'm now thinking through replacing most if not all of the important rubber bits fin the engine bay and suspension areas, as well as a good look at all the plastic engine bay items, plus hoses, etc. Upgrading to LED lighting is likely, and I recent found a vendor in Toronto who can deliver an upgraded replacement MMI to 2020 type spec. Can anyone chip a B8 4.2 effectively? Thinking exhaust + chip +some form of better breathing is a start, but given my track care experience, can I do anything with spark, injectors, intake (extrude hone), etc, that someone has seen done before? Not looking to make a monster here, but an additional 50 to 75 BHP would make a huge difference, and not punish the stock bits too much. If I could get >75 BHP without the supercharge route, then I'd likely do the suspension nicely and throw all the backseat weight overboard (I have an idea to take out the entire rear seating and make a couch out of it using monocoque aircraft-style sheet metal as a base), and finish it nicely. Big picture; I'd love to end up withe a stealth sleeper that could be fun on the track -- not a "track-car" -- and be a blast on the street, and on the "tail of the dragon" and all the wonderful twisty roads here in the south. Pleas help me! Thanks all1

Still have it. Busy with work. Life. Covid. Family. Priorities have changed.
Car hasn't moved for months and would consider selling if the price was right.
