The only real option for the 2.8 is a Supercharger and thats somthing like 3 to 5 grand and thats all you can do for major gains, or course theres the intake exhaust and chip but that does little to the car compared to the potential that the 1.8 has, and it will take the power, the stock 1.8 block is strong so your not gunna blow it with 235hp

So why did the 1.8t get 20 more HP in 2001? Does anyone know what they did?

Talk to brrman if you want to hear about long term reliability with a chip.. He has had no problems other than "normal" wear and tear that goes for most cars. I know lots of 1.8t-ers with a chip that consider their audi's to be very dependable, such as myself. You just gotta keep up on the maintnance and never neglect it.
