    you will find a V6TT will exacerbate that problem, without the payoff of that sweet, sweet response and sound. heavier exhaust manifolds, intercooler, turbo's, extra plumbing, the V6 tt could very well be a pig.
    at least the lighter V8 could be rammed as far back as possible.

    the twincharger should minimize lag although that'll always be a problem
    the V8 was a great engine and there's no doubt about it. The V6TT won't sound as nice.

    LOL, it's silly that they don't have options on if you wanted a V6 or a V8 in an S4.

    If that was in any way true, why are there so many turbocharged engines around?
