Default 1.8t vs 2.8 times

I was looking up the specs today for 2001 a4s. The 2.8 will do 7.3 sec 0-60 and 15.5 1/4 mile. The 1.8t runs 7.8 sec 0-60 and 16.1 1/4 mile. Thats 1/2 second difference in both test. Not to mention both cars are Quattro models and 5 spd. How much faster does a chip make the 1.8T. All I ever hear is that it will smoke the 2.8. Does anyone know times?

No way is a snub going to shave .2 tenths. I also dont think that fwd is going to be 1/2 faster 0-60 either.

socalaudi, you have to understand, the chip increases your hp by 40 and your tq by 80! It makes a very large difference. Ask anyone on this forum if they notice much of a difference after chipping and they will say 'night and day'.

And fastmayte, what is this about a chipped 2.8......what chip are you using....and what is it doing?
