If you put a noggy painted roof box on as well you break the scene point counter

[@SCARSORGofficial]

This is pretty much my ideal modern Audi setup.

[@swift__]

The fact that it was a empty shell a month ago is astonishing… this build is so F’n good it’s insane 😮‍💨👌🏼 ( dsg or zf for sure , if it’s to go fast or as a daily.. weekend cruiser then manual ) damn that thing is awesome 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@carlosorozco4786]

Great video Eli! Yeah I think you should go for the fun-to-drive manual!

[@jmello2798]

Matt is always doing excellent work and swaps. I always like all his projects that he has done. Great job! 👍

[@joelwerre7704]

I absolutely love this idea! My father had a white allroad, with white fenders - it was beautiful and it really started my love for these cars. I ended up buying a white B8.5 S4 because I wanted the sound and power, but wanted the looks and whatnot of the allroad minus the wagon. The ultimate would be to combine the two! I think you should do this but do it with an allroad instead, the facelift looks a lot better and I reckon there’s more of a desirable aspect to it if you do decide to sell it (to me one day haha)

[@Masoon.s4]

Still a huge s4 scene out there. I think pulling a s4 avant into a 10 second car would gain alot of love and attraction to the page. just imo

[@bassmasta9117]

That thing is a beauty. I got recommended your videos because I just had my b8.5 S4 totaled and got an SQ5 and was watching all kinds of KZbin videos about them and saw the same thing happened to you! I could not find a suitable S4 within 100 miles and the SQ5 popped up and I jumped on it

[@MikeyFa5]

Awesome how I follow Matt on IG and then I see this video and it’s Eli who uploaded. Absolutely amazing this build just like the previous Avant build. Man what a LEGEND!

[@Nbzkilla]

Matt's the only guy I know that had a cooled/heated glove box on the black swapped avant. Oem +++

[@mattsson265]

Do u miss the 3.0 Supercharged platform? I certainly do, unfortunately its hard to get one with low mileage and the right trim with sport diff, adaptive dampers, dynamic steering, adaptive cruise control etc. Even tho i prefer the S5 sportback, mainly due to the wider body but i gotta admit, the A4/S4 avant looks alot better on video than on pictures!

[@brockdez1259]

Wowowo Since we never got those in the US, I had to build my own stage 2 B9 Allroad. I love it, but gosh I lust after a manual transmission and that supercharged 6!

[@brandonmairs]

Wow great build. Looks so factory. I love it.

[@lrnasigo1]

Damn! Sick build. Makes me miss my B8.5 static allroad

[@Kiss__Kiss]

I always wanted to do this to my B8.5 allroad.........

[@Auditrickz97]

👏👏👏👏love it 👍👍

[@anthonyanderson7985]

Gotta be honest, I’m so jealous of this car.. beautiful color and amazing swap

[@adamwhiteford9811]

sounds amazing

[@TheAustinmehta]

This is awesome!

[@VDUBZ08]

Ooooh nice my dream!

[@rigadesigns]

The man, the myth, the legend, Jack Mattson

[@Gearsandco]

for some Reason I like the b8 preface-lift looks better than the b8.5, people might disagree but that it my opinion. Amazing build!

[@oidoglr]

It’s the round fog lights for me.

[@MDVA44]

I own a b8 Avant Prestige and I agree with this statement totally. Looks sleeker and the edges are smoother on the front end. Not gonna lie though. B8.5 taillights look better though. I actually want to do this very S4 manual swap with a ported blower,dual pulley on water/meth

[@Gearsandco]

@@MDVA44 that would be great, you can make alot of power with that V6 supercharged

[@paulmusi1575]

I recently got a 2013 white Allroad. I would love to drop a 3.0t engine in it. Can you put an estimate on what an engine swap would run with labor? Would love for you to do one as well!!!

[@thelastslime3007]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@callmecue]

I once heard an female Audi enthusiast say "Noggies make me soggy".

[@IgnitionTube]

😭😭😭

[@andrewczajkowski7001]

I.want.this......ugh a friend did it and this makes me want it more!

[@ThunderGoatz]

this is cool as hell.

[@WesM757]

Please start a business of doing these builds. I would kill to have one

[@RyanSheppard]

That's so sweet

[@matthewdiabo2879]

What about a facelift allroad? could probably use the ZF8 from there too

[@texaspowerman]

Can’t you swap parts with some of the S4 engines and some of the SUV engines to get a power boost? It’s been years but a co worker had a sedan that had a bunch of the suv parts bolted on and it would do 4 wheel burnouts at 70 mph. Would that be a good place to look for performance upgrades?

[@jeffwithglasses6976]

do it Eli !

[@scaughtedaug]

Let's goooo! I'll buy that off you when its time! Go for the DSG. #bcuzracecar

[@glubibobi]

Hear me out, get an allroad and do the swap and then you can have your S4 nostalgia and noise with the overland ability.

[@user-es9uh2el3w]

can this be done with a 2005 a4 with the 3,0 manual 6 speed already in it?

[@Da__goat]

Gentlemen. I have a question. Can you do this swap with a B8 avant and the V8 from a B8 RS5?

[@robertsikes]

Dos Matt do these swaps? I have a pre-facelift S3 would love to manual swap

[@samwh4775]

The engine in my B8.5 A4 blew up not long ago, damn 2.0T’s from hell 😵‍💫, I’m thinking of doing the 3.0T swap but I wanna keep my ZF8, I wonder if it’s possible 😅

[@IgnitionTube]

Definitely possible, according to Matt you’d want the 3.0T drivetrain and modules from a Q5 or SQ5

[@yanncatt]

How much does it cost to do this? My Avant has undiagnosed engine problems and I may want to swap it to get rid of the problem.

[@Tiggerlooker]

Id buy it!

[@raccs600]

i wanted to do this with my 2012 a3 but i think it’s gonna be nose heavy

[@Murphman74]

Yo!!!! This is the way

[@lsr0netheone9]

Yo it's great to see this avant! I follow you on Instagram. Been waiting for the build for a while. This is the dream for me, I own a 2010 a4 avant premium plus, non sline, one day I would love to 3.0 swap it with of course the 6 speed manual. Subscribed.

[@Joeknowstech2998]

What happened to the black b8 a4 avant swap he had? Awesome vid by the way!

[@IgnitionTube]

He sold it for this car!

[@augustinepalmieri7760]

I got a 6mt noggy b8.5 and this is just much better

[@2006bluesi]

Hey its Micah, if your're going to do it do the Manual! Its the only thing I wish the SQ5 had. Also what's different about this than lowering the SQ? Is it lighter?

[@IgnitionTube]

Just different shapes!! Text me I wanna hear how the SQ is doing!!

[@poltergeistca]

Great video. What was the noggy interior out of? Was it from the S4 donor and he really hit the jackpot?

[@IgnitionTube]

Out of a separate S4 donor haha that would be unreal!

[@poltergeistca]

That makes more sense@@IgnitionTube!

[@stuartferguson4891]

Sheesh

[@BigDaddy_BHJ1977]

How possible is the v8 swap

[@IgnitionTube]

Which V8?

[@MikeM-wx5lp]

I want one. You selling it?

[@IgnitionTube]

Once I build one maybe

[@con2719]

Didn't this use to be another colour? I thought I saw this guy's video a few years ago?

[@Tarquinist]

He had a black one that he recently sold and then bought the nogaro A4 and swapped that car

[@VDUBZ08]

4.0T swap would be awesome too

[@darrinscoilsclouds1498]

We’re are you if he came 3 hours from new jersey ? I’m 3 hours from New Jersey in CT👍

[@IgnitionTube]

He’s in Jersey and I’m in Boston!

[@darrinscoilsclouds1498]

@@IgnitionTube there’s no way he got to Boston from New Jersey in three hours?!? Or is there👹

[@seashackf1]

He actually said 4 hrs, 2:15, but you definitely can in 3. I’m close, but northwest of his area. I can make it to family in western NJ near PA in less than 3 1/2 hrs. To northeast NJ would be no problem. I can make it to the Tappan Zee in 2 1/2 hrs. Where in CT are you that you can’t make it in 3 hours?

[@peterladas9766]

I’d get rid of my SQ5 for a facelifted S4 avant…

[@willsmith8586]

I feel like it would be cheaper just to get an A6

[@atallahdesigns]

nice car but that interior is gross

[@silvermannnnnnn]

Dude…. The tshirt color is atrocious. Two non matching blues on top of the seat color. Blehhhh. The car is awesome. Gives me hope for my allroad.

[@connorleyland8695]

Now it needs the b8.5 face swap. And then is perfection

[@IgnitionTube]

That’s Matt’s plan!

[@MDVA44]

In my opinion the b8 front looks cleaner
