The ECS Stage IV kit is approximately 20% lighter than the stock brakes and only alter the factory braking bias by about 2%. The calipers are HUGE (larger than bread loafs!) and the rotors are two piece, floating, with a diameter of 352 mm. I wanted a big brake kit that will offer strong performance during normal driving and enough reserve for occasional track useage. For me, this provides the optimal solution as the vast majority of my driving is high speed on public roads. My solution is the 6 piston Brembo/Porsche Stage IV kit from ECS tuning. I also would not trust them for race track duty. The Stock HP2 brakes work well during most normal driving, but leave much to be desired when braking from 150+ mph. Living in Germany, I see speeds well in excess of 120 mph on nearly a daily basis.
With the amount of power the S4 now has, good brakes are a serious concern. On the German Autobahns, the car pulls very strongly to 180 mph and beyond.Ĭontact Mike at for more info on this fueling kit. It's enough to pull on my friend's 2003 Porsche 911 Turbo. At 25 psi tapering to 22-23 psi at redline, engine output should be in the neighborhood of 500 horsepower and 500 ft-lbs of torque. The performace of the car is absolutely amazing. So far I have been very impressed with the capabilities of this kit. It also costs significantly less than the competitor's fueling kits and can be custom tuned to your application. This fueling kit has headroom to support over 530 hp.

The basis of this fueling kit is larger fuel injectors, larger MAF housing and intake plumbing, fuel rail hardware, 5 bar fuel pressure regulator, manual boost controller, throttle cut defender circuit (MAP clamp) and GIAC K03 software which I already had. Piggie in Audi circles) for allowing my car to be a testbed for his new system. Special thanks go out to Mike Shimon (affectionately known as Mr. In order to maximize the output of the turbos and maintain safe air/fuel ratios, I have installed an upgraded metering and fueling system. The flow capacity of the K16 turbochargers far exceeds the capability of the stock fueling system. Turbo Pic (1) Turbo Pic (2) Turbo Pic (3) Turbo Pic (4)
These turbos can be custom built to serve your application. The housings must be CNC machined to fit the larger wheel. Here you can see a comparison of compressor wheel sizes between OEM stock K03 turbochargers, RS6 K04 turbochargers, and K16 hybrid turbos. Because they utilize a K04 housing, they bolt right up to the factory manifolds in the factory location. They have flow capability to over 550 horsepower. The compressor wheel is the same wheel used in the Porsche 911 turbo. You're looking at KKK K16/K04 turbochargers with ceramic coated hot sides and ported/polished housings. For the complete modification list, scroll down to the bottom of this page. In every modification I will attempt to improve the performance of the car without compromising the overall character of the S4.
I have only begun to customize my car in order to go, stop, look, and feel better. That's ok.that just means it takes a little longer. Unfortunately when it comes to European cars, it's also a pricey endeavor. For many people, modifying and customizing vehicles can be a fun and rewarding experience.
