Not everyone tunes a car to have 500HP and show off. The experience is half the fun.

Ok, let's put it this way.

The 12v is like a marriage. Once you’re in, there aren't many options. Any of the options that come along and you do take... you end up kicking yourself later for. But all in all, marriage is pretty reliable, just not that exciting

The 30v is like dating. Much more options than the 30v. Dating allows for a little bit of switching around and trying things, but there are limiting factors, and you are fairly restrained in who you can date. Dating is more exciting than marriage.

The 1.8T is like a hooker. There are many options, and the quality of hooker you get depends on the amount of money you wanna drop on her. The really cheap hookers aren't exciting at all, there disgusting actually. But throwing a little more money at them shows you a better time, and they defiantly get exciting. The reliability is nowhere near marriage, but the excitement is through the roof.
That is the best way i have ever herd this explained!!! do u mind if i copy and save this?????

Hahaha excellent metaphor. This will be my response to every noob asking the 1.8vs2.8 question...There are guys out there who supercharged there 12V but the numbers weren't impressive. Check out SCaudi.com its a 2.8 "tuning" forum. The amount of money and labor that would go into getting 12V motor over 260whp isn't worth the it. Better to sell it and get an S4.
