I'm currently running the 2.8 30V. i have recently acquired a love for turbos working in a shop with Turbo diesels currently coming in and out. just that sound gets to me haha.

it would be about 2100 bucks after shipping and what not. would this bolt up to my transmission on mine? i have manual 5 speed.

and are there any other motors that anybody else knows about, with relatively low miles?
i love my car, and don't want to buy another one. i have just turned over 160K miles on mine, and it doesn't feel very strong anymore, burns a ton of oil, and constantly has the idle issue, and engine codes popping up left and right.

i'd rather spend the money on a new engine that i can mod, than spend probably close to the same amount repairing mine that i will just be dissatisfied with.

Your going to be better off buying a car that comes with a 1.8T. If you plan on modding it you could always buy one that is already modded, I certainly wish I did after the gross amount of money I have put towards my car.

Another thing to think about is stage 3 S4, I don't know what your budget is but they are pretty cheap.
