ive been readin a lot about turbo kits for the 1.8t and ive been wondering, will a 1.8tqm a4 with a k04 keep up with an r32? an r32 has 240 hp and it weighs 3400 lbs, as compared to an a4 that weighs in at 3130 (correct me if im wrong) and can push 240 with a k04/chip/exhaust. on paper it seems like the a4 should keep up, but i still have doubts for some reason.
also, are there any similarities between quattro and the four wheel drive system the r32 uses? does the r32 still use 4motion??

I dont think those weights are right..there's no way the r32 is heavier than the a4.. I think the a4 is around 3400...
r32 uses the haldex system.. a4 uses the torsen..

yea i found out a stock a4 weighs just under 3400 lbs. its still about the same weight as an r32 though. must be the 3.2 liter engine weighing it down.
