Why is it that people say that when buying a '00 A4 the 1.8 is better than the 2.8? 2.8 has more HP so shouldn't that be the way to go?

 

omg

SEARCH BRO! SEARCH.....

1.8 ENGINE HAS TURBO

I'm pushing about 400hp on 1.8T engine

still thinking 2.8 makes more power ?!

 

better is not the right term, the 1.8t is lighter and yes it has the turbo so its more desired because of its upgradable the 2.8 on the other hand is a cruiser and much better at it than the screaming 1.8t so it depends what comforts and toys your looking for so to answer your question you need to think (is it speed which both have or speed with silence 2.8 or a o to 60 response then 1.8t) me personally would go for the 2.8

 

you are not pushing 400, don't lie

 

With the 2871R turbo, he's not that far off. 350 HP at least.

 

Gettin pretty lippy there for a n00b , he didnt say exactly 400 , he said about (besides you dont know what he has anyways), and if you would have searched then you would have had your answer. This is the most asked question on this forum and everyone is starting to get tired of noobs that dont know how to work the search function.

 

this sounds like a (is your car faster than mine) but in case you're interested I have the fastest car in the world lol only I have made it yet

 

~400 chp, dynoed at 295whp or something like that, but he used a dyno dynamics so its really not at the wheels at the brakes

 

Ough yea the 2.8 sucks for modding. Most people buy it thinking wow its a bigger engine its got more potential, worng! Mods are very limited and dont give much hp unless you get the 30v and spend 5k to supercharge it. But even still your limited with that engine.

 

Damn you got some mouth on you NOOB! aRIf owns one of the fastest A4's on this site you should be [sm=hail.gif]
