New to the forum. I just bought a 1999.5 Audi 2.8 qm about 3 weeks ago and it got totaled yesterday by some guy running a red light. But anyways, I am definately looking at getting another audi but this time probably a 1.8t. I know 1.8t's are easier to mod but my question is how does a chipped 1.8t stack up to a 2.8 in terms of speed(0-60) and torque? Also, how much hp can i expect to gain from a chip and either an exhaust/intake? All help is appreciated and I cant wait to get back on the road.

 

a chipped 1.8t would beat the 2.8 sry to hear bout you totalling your car man. some people are just dumb and don't watch where their going

 

Have any pictures???

Sorry about the loss.

There's a Newbie Guide at the top of the forum...it'll give you a good idea of what kind of gains you can expect for a given mod. Sorry that you lost your car...that's rough. I think it's worth mentioning though that the 2.8 is made a heck of a lot more fun with a chip...I went with SpeedTuning because of the price and it's been great. You're right that the 1.8T will be much more mod-friendly, but remember that you're starting with 20 or 40 hp less (depending on the year of the car) than in the 2.8 30v. I think a chipped 1.8T and a stock 2.8 would be pretty evenly matched. I drove a stock 2001 1.8T and it was disgustingly slow compared to my Avant.

 

Sorry for your loss. It was not meant to be. Now get a 1.8T Manual and start modding!!

i have a stock 1.8T thank you

 

lmao. sry sniperage but sineo is super right hehe. you should race her haha

 

Yeah, i know sineo is right...she will beat the crap out of me.

 

You'd be spanked .

 

yeah but what does her avant do next to an S4?

 

Well, in that case my car wouldn't be doing any spanking. But maybe the driver could...
