Default not as many insane custom turbo setups on a 2.8... not much room for all the piping you would need

not to mention the costs involved to prep a 2.8 motor for high boost.

Default because most 2.8liter cars with superchargers don't put out as much power as the big turbo setups

many of which are custom setups in this competition. That and they wanted a competition that would be diverse with models, not just an A4 or passat. 1.8t motors are used in 7 audi/vw cars world wide. That and the competition was for a 1.8t motor not a 2.8 challenge.

Default You two are on different wavelengths...

You're asking about why he chose to supercharge a 1.8 engine, rather than a 2.8, and Paul is telling you why you wouldn't want to turbocharge a 2.8.
