Hi Fi Guy:
I'll be sure to post the performance numbers as well as the other stuff once I get it on the road. The turbo i'm using has the flow capacity (on this engine) to put down ~320WHP on pump gas...that translates to about about 360 horses. My goal was to be able have a car with excellent handling and be able to put down low 12's in the 1/4 mile when I started this project. But with the power to weight ratio that it is going to provide.....might be able to get into mid 11's?

I'll probobly get two tunes....one for pump gas and one for 100/104 octane, the 100/104 tune should be able to put down ~350whp (~395-400 crank) i think.

I hoping the stock water pump/radiator/fan from the a4 can keep the engine cool.

I'ts very tight and I can fit the ebrake in there but will rub the seat. I am probobly going to end up relocating the ebrake to the middle...near the shifter.

I'm using the tranny out of a FWD A4 2.8 V6. I think the shifter is going to work out well, I can position it whereever I want and also should be adjust the throw depending on the way I hook it up to the tranny. I picked up the cable shifter for ~$150 from a salvage yard.
