Any parts that fit from 1.8T or S4 to a 2.8 B5s?

Guess I got a 99.5.
How about suspension? Any way to check if I have stock sport susp? I noticed the shocks were red and the ride is much better than my 12V. It doesn't sit lower or anything but just asking.

Red shocks indicate its a sport. It should sit a littlelower than your 12v unless it has aftermarket springs.

ORIGINAL: 2.8Luv

TO Belligerence, I was refering to the 12v 96 b5 being like the vr6. Am I wrong?

ya, you're still wrong. the VR6 is a transverse-mounted narrow angle V6 with a single cylinder head. the 12V 2.8 used on 96 and 97 A4's (among other things) is a conventional longitudinally mounted V6 with 2 cylinder heads, one for each bank.

Motor mounts will swap over. Possibly the alternator. B5 S4 rear brakes bolt in. Larger and wider rotors and a stronger caliper. S4 guys love using 2.8 heads. Since the S4's have turbo's the exhaust system will def not bolt in.

034 motorsport crammed a 12v VR6 into a B5 A4. 15psi on a GT35R got a nice 390 hp-

Thanks for the expertise guys (even Belligerence). If I knew I wouldn't be asking.
Nice Whip BaconBait, and thanks for the additional info on the brakes. Any chance of a wet dream coming true and ever adapting 3.0 heads into a bored out 2.8?
So I guess my Avant is rare? It came with all the extras fully loaded, Audi concert w/ changer, dual power front seats, sport shocks, 7 spoke 16" wheels, full size spare, etc. In a 5 Speed? I'm happy with it.
