See its not only that it wouldn't fit, but I guarantee the frame of the car would have to be re-braced for the TT V8.

It would cost to sell your A4 and buy an S4.

it would cost less to sell my A4? im assuming thats what u meant with that post.... but i have a lot of exterior and some interior stuff done, so i dont wanna start all over.... just do a motor swap eventually.... or do you guys think i should keep the 1.8T and just mod the heck out of it... or do the motor swap and modify that?

Its a heck of a lot of work. Check audizine as I believe I read someone had done it over there.
