I realize that the quoted times from Audi and magazines that have done tests have usually been with new cars that have not been broken in yet. I would like to know what you guys are getting close to in your A4's. My dad is considering the A4 and we have both done a lot of research. Would a 2.8 with a good exhaust and chip have a better 0-60 time than a 1.8 with an exhuast and chip? What else can you do to a 1.8 besides upgrade to a KO4 that will get you around 220 hp? Is that possible without a K04 upgrade.
Thanks in advance and sorry for what may seem to be an exccesively long post.

but unless you're going to do something like the supercharger upgrade from PES (or somthing comparable)

You're better off going w/ the 1.8T and Mods.

You can get up to 235hp with a K04 kit, or you can get 290-310 with APR's stage III and III+. There is a supercharger available for the 2.8 that will produce around 280hp. This is a very short and incomplete answer I'm afraid, but I'm sure you will read more here.

There is a debate about this...

What are the importance of 0-60.?? To some going in straight line the fastest is the most important thing to them, to some its not..

Between the 1.8 and 2.8 there are big difference in low end torque.

166 ft. lbs. @ 1950-5000 RPM VS 207 ft. lbs. @ 3200 RPM

Now that something to consider as well.. If you want initial power and torque the 2.8 is the way to go..

Now investing time and money into either one is up to you.. What do you want for gains, whats important to you and how much money do you want to spend..

I think everyone's flamed out.

a 1.8t once chipped is faster. period.. unless you get the PES supercharger, but we're talking big money there.
turbos are more fun
S4s are even more fun......
but the v6 is smoother, has leather, and other cadilac stuff (...Watches back...)

the way to go (which i regret for not going) is 1.8T manual Sport celebration.. and do it fast, before they run out (you have like 2 weeks or less)

Ohh watch this thread comming up

In stock form, both cars are roughly the same.

I want to know if there is any difference after the car has been worn in.

you 0-60 times won't change really -- you can see the motortrend long term a4 test for more info on that
