So the difference in horsepower is >marginal, but the difference it torque is significant. I realize this thread may be well past the worn out stage, but.... While reading an old article on a Hoppen modified S4 in the Jan 1994 European car magazine, I ran across an article on the 1994 European S2 which indicated it used the S4 engine. The specs show the same Max Power of 230HP @5900 RPM, Max Torque of 258 lb-ft (350Nm) @1950-3000RPM. The interesting thing is that the specs page shows the "Torque with Overboost" at 280lb-ft (380Nm) between 2100-4000 RPM. That is 23% more torque than the 228 lb-ft (309Nm)available from the 1991 200TQ. The Torque output graph for the 1991 200TQ stays pretty flat from 1900-4500 RPM at which point it begins to gradually taper off. As mentioned, modifying the 1991 200TQ with the free flowing exhaust manifold and the ECU mod can quickly take away any advantage the S4 has in stock form... I put up a crude graph of the boost profile for the S4 on my web page, I hope to get a better scanned version up there in the future along with some HP and Torque graphs from the '91 200TQ and the S4.
