from Champion Audi(R8 fan). Are there any inherent problems I should keep an eye out for? Secondly, what engine improvements are most common?

Nothing really obvious to worry about. I'd keep an eye on your front end - tie rods and control arms, though.

Engine mods on the 2.8 are limited to intake and exhaust (exhaust is most common because intake does little improvement). Of course, if you want to spend big money for a wicked supercharger, then you'll have real monster and quite an improvement in performance!

Think about brake, suspension, and wheel/tire upgrades, too.

 

congrats...if you wanna fork out big buck pes-tuning [http://www.pes-tuning.com/] offers a supercharger that will buy you about 100hp...if you wanna go cheap [about $200] ditch that factory air box and get a cone filter...that should get you about 10hp...but whatever you do no k&n panel filters, its not the stock filter that is restritive but the airbox...chips for the 2.8 wont get you that much but if you wanna go crazy and not pluck out your ecu you can get somthing called an sps [http://ecodetuning.com/shop/cart.php...&p=42]...enjoy and good luck!
