You can make that or a bit more with just the 1.8t.

yea i wasnt comparing it to the 1.8t lol if it came down to it, i'd probably pick the 1.8t.
i kinda regret gettin the 2.8 sometimes but i know i made the right choice, being in college right now, I need a reliable car. if you know what i mean...

haha with the 30v 2.8, you can swap in a 3.0 crank, put on an elim type kit and you're looking at huge power. i'm not 100% sure but i think the mounts for the 3.0 and 2.8 are in the same spots. cost is around mike's fully built 1.8t but with a little bit more potential i think. it's all preference though. i prefer v6 over v4. with engine swaps like this, you're not just gonna swap it in and not force induce it. you should just sell the car and buy an s4 if you don't want to deal with the hassles.

Speaking of engine swaps, anyone heard from Siena lately? I'm curious about how the twin turbo S8 motor swap is going.

for the money youll spend.. i have heard stories on that
you might as well sell yours and get an S4, mod that.
getting a 500 hp facelifted S4 and a 500 hp VR6 in whatever your car is.. probably not as nice.. all for the same price...
