I can't argue with you on that. I also have no reason to, lol. I hope you did not take any offense to my statements. If anything, I love to be corrected and learn more. Despite what is claimed or not, we are lucky to have such powerful/modifiable engines in the first place. Audi owners with stock engines get screwed in this department unless they have an S or RS model .
