Welcome to the forums Sandman and congrats on the purchase. Well I can tell U that normally aspirated engines aren't that mod-able. You can try a chip, exhaust, intake, or supercharge it. The 1.8T is a better option for modding. Good luck!!

Hey welcome to the forum.

Suite3.0A4, there is no supercharger for the 97 2.8. There are very few mods. I would suggest checking out the 12 valve engine forum on audiworld.
