Here's a quick intro to Shawn's Audi B6 A4 1.8T.

For now we're offering up some "before and after" pictures that help illustrate the transformation this A4 has undertaken. Believe us when we tell you there's a ton of work in between, and soon we'll be sharing with you all the important details. Don't think, though, that this project is finished - if Shawn was able to build this car to this level without the benefit of owning his own performance facility, just imagine what's possible now.

How about a 500-whp fwd A4 1.8T? (Yes, you read that correctly - no quattro here.)
