Does anyone know if the S4 engine uses the same block as the A5 3.2?
Word I've heard was its a slightly detuned block with a supercharger, if thats the case I was wondering if the factory supercharger could be grafted onto the A5 3.2...
I'm thinking for down the road engine upgrades...

The block is similar, but the internals are different. Also, your engine having valvelift would complicate things (the 3.0T doesn't) so your heads are also totally different.
In other words, it would probably be cheaper (and more reliable) to either swap in a full 3.0T engine or better yet just buy an S4. [up]

I figured as much... looks like i'll be doing a 3.0T/s-tronic swap down the road :D

i heard rumors that the 3.0 supercharged will make it to the new S5 soon and the v8 will go to the rs5.

More than a rumour - Audi has announced it for 2011.
