Yea my post was mostly sarcastic about $9k - but he said boost the Z, not drive the boosted Z

I built up my old 2001 Audi A4 with a bigger turbo and quickly found I needed a huge intercooler, a 3" exhaust, a new clutch, an EBC, etc etc etc. Luckily the engine internals were pretty stout on that and really had no chance to blow with the ~450HP I was running.
