Run a few tests and see for your self how strong the motor is. I'll bet u'd be suprised how well the ol 1.8 still performes....

 

i have well over 100,000 on my 2.8 and it still pulls hard. As long as you take care of ur engine (which is a really well built one) you shouldnt lose much HP or Torque besides the normal drivetrain loss and what not.

 

ok sweet, now i just need some $$$$ for the damn G2

 

haha yea dont all of us 2.8ers need that money. But yea, dont go thinking you can just drive this thing tough, just make sure to do all the routine maitenence and a FIS with seafoam isnt such a bad idea.

 

Engines are typically factory dyno'd in perfectly optimal conditions with a perfectly tuned engine. When you buy a car, you have the possibility of getting the factory rated HP, or you could have one with slightly less. Sad, but it's true. You could very well just have a not-so-perfect one of Audi's engines.

 

what r 2.8l whp

 

About 160 whp.

 

yea give or take a lil.

 

FWD would be about 160whp with 15% power loss
AWD would be about 142whp with 25% power loss
