the 2.7 is the same block as the 2.8 but the made it .1 smaller to make it be able to handle the boost of the twin turbos. Has anyone driven a 2.8 S/C? I wish i could it would make this alot easier.

apg, if you want instant power, then you definitely want the s/c. if it were me, i'd definitely get the s/c...

There is a guy who's user name is Docurley on the http://www.audi-sport.net forum and he has a charged 2.8.

But is now selling it cos he has bought a 1.8T quattro and is doing a RS4 wide body conversion on it!!!

Here is the link RS4 body conversion

U could ask him about it, he is a pretty helpfull guy.

Cheers
