Well after buying the Passat from Los a while back, I had to break down and upgrade. I ended up going and picking up an Audi Allroad to replace the "honey wagon". I have to say I love it! Just wanted to let you all know.

Nice pick up!

Good luck LOL
And we'll see how long you hold out till the mods start.

kutark · « **Reply #3 on:** November 13, 2007, 01:32:41 PM »

So are we gonna see more of you around then?

Also, is it a 2.7t? Or if you got the 4.2 i'm gonna be jealous.

LOS · « **Reply #4 on:** November 13, 2007, 07:11:07 PM »

its a 2.7 god help him

scurvy_bandit · « **Reply #5 on:** November 13, 2007, 08:18:07 PM »

so you had a passat wagon... and got rid of it? ugh

LOS · « **Reply #6 on:** November 13, 2007, 10:09:02 PM »

yeah i sold it to grant almost 2 yrs ago...

toxicavenger · « **Reply #7 on:** November 14, 2007, 08:19:32 AM »

So does ur 2.7t have some serious turbo lag? I was going to buy one before I bought my Saab and the turbo almost got me killed pulling out into traffic downtown. But they are sweet rides.

Unless they tune the 2.7t in the allroad differently then the S4, you should have not had any turbo lag issues, unless you were starting in the wrong gear.

I like to take off in second gear... thats how I used to treat women also. Straight to second base

Did you double clutch??

Noooooo MONNNICCAA!!!!

toxicavenger · « **Reply #12 on:** November 15, 2007, 08:22:32 AM »

No I didn't double clutch or any other B.S. But the one I drove up at Hueberger just wasn't what I expected for such a nice looking car. Doesn't everyone start off in secong gear?

Hell, just chip it then and you'll be up around 300HP. Should be fine I'd think.

It's gone through my mind to buy an A6 2.7T and do the same. Has to be a 6spd though. I like the Allroads, just not sure about the SUV-like styling but I do want AWD and I have a feeling an A6 2.7T will be easier to find in good shape(affordably) than a B5 S4 as well.

I'm not sure what you expected, my S4 hit full boost at about 3400rpms and had plenty of power below that. The only time you should have any issues is if you were starting from a very slow roll, then it may have taken 1 or 2 seconds to build up boost. What probably happened is the car you drove likely had blown diverter valves, which causes all kinds of fun little problems.

Brahma · « **Reply #17 on:** November 15, 2007, 05:12:41 PM »

There is a little lag, but not much. I hardly notice it. Pics are coming tonight...well maybe this weekend. I just picked up a new cam and will be looking to take some nice shots of it. I am going to resist the urge to mod. lol. But I have looked at chipping it and getting some nice BBS's on there. LMAO.

kutark · « **Reply #18 on:** November 15, 2007, 06:28:02 PM »

You need to factor about 250 dollars extra for some Forge Diverter valves if you plan on chipping it. Also you will want to start saving for an APR bipipe, or you can half ass it and do the TBB fix.

Brahma · « **Reply #19 on:** November 15, 2007, 11:26:14 PM »

Brahma · « **Reply #24 on:** November 17, 2007, 08:48:29 PM »

Just for kicks...does anyone know for sure if there is really a difference between the Allroad and any other A6? I am considering getting some work done. Any one hear anything good or bad about Revo?

Jesus · « **Reply #25 on:** November 17, 2007, 08:58:55 PM »

Revo, GIAC, APR they're all good

Comes down to personal preference in the end really.

Its ok, you wont have to try to avoid the mod bug, the car is gonna do it for you. Basically you're gonna be spending so much money keeping the bitch runnin, you aint gonna have money to mod it ;-)

Just kidding, kinda.

LOS · « **Reply #27 on:** November 18, 2007, 10:37:16 AM »

3 cars? I thought the other 2 were not working and thats why you bought this?

all road shouldn't be much different from a 2.7T a6 besides the suspension and body cladding...

Brahma · « **Reply #28 on:** November 18, 2007, 12:22:09 PM »

Nah the VW is still running great. I am still trouble shooting the Pontiac. It runs ok, then will just die for no reason. I am thinking its a fuel issue. Bad injectors or just clogged, not sure. I have to admit though the passat is a monster when it comes to gas mileage. I have only had to fill it up 1 time since I have been back in country.

I think I will just have to wait. I have a warranty on the car and I am sure modding it would void that warranty. lol

you could take the cash and trade it in on a 1.8t since I hear they are the best thing since like... god.

haha jk... I have no idea what breaks on Audis... first.

Ok so I ended up being a little busier than anticipated this weekend. But I did go out and get a quick cell phone pick since it was nice today.

I will try to get some better shots this next weekend.
