Why not start over indeed. The German engineers are the best in the world for stuffing 10 lbs of sheet into a 1 lb sack. I'm trying to get rid of 9 lbs of it LOL.
Tuning, I'm probably use a Megasquirt box
Judging from this shot of the Apex where you can see a bit of the rear sub that's hidden under her skirt there should be quite a bit of room for any plumbing you need to do on the 2.7t, especially in front above the engine. The 2.7 might even fit in the stock with the intercoolers and all.
There are vents on each side where there used to be quarter windows too. That's where I plan on putting my air intakes to run into a filter box.
Looking at the Apex pic I'd venture a guess that the side openings on the quarter panels are roughly 3" x 24" which would be 72 square inches.
Stock S4 intercooler core is 57.375 sq in
Stock RS4 intercooler core is 65 sq in
AWE aftermarket intercooler core is 72.25 sq in
I don't think the size of the openings is an issue, just will need to build a shroud to properly channel the air flow into them.
