I prefer the V6 myself but since your planning on adding power the 1.8 is a better choice. But then again you want something reliable so its a tough decision. I say if you got the money for modding plus maintenance go with the 1.8. If your broke (or soon to be) then stick with the 2.8 and don't bother getting a supercharger, it won't be worth it. Ah hell just get the 1.8T!

1.8T. Don't get a bov or the gt2x turbo.

i have an 01 2.8, and within the week shall have a 00 1.8t


when i first went to get the audi i have now i figured "oh... 20more hp... i'm def going with that. hmmm i have to drive in traffic every once in a while... tiptronic it is!" and i have been regretting both choices ever since

the 2.8 IS more reliable, as it doesnt have a turbo and the more moving parts, the more that can go wrong. also you gotta realize its a v6... a kinda weak v6 ... but i get ahead of myself, its gas mileage is worse than a 1.8t

but 1.8t will getcha better gas mileage, and will be more fun to drive with a few mods

either way just do me this favor, and whatever you get... get a standard transmission!!!

for college??? definately the 2.8 liter. The 1.8t has potential to be faster but i have had two V6 audis now and they are both reliable as all hell. I have never had a 1.8t but with my experience from my other turbo cars, maintenance is always gonna be more with a turbo..


FYI: turbo 4 cylinders dont sound ricey, they sound hella nice.
ew
AteUrV8, did you move to Norcal now too? Got digi cam pics to prove it? Don't steal our word. BTW, you can't get hyphy either.
