looks like a bunch of b5'ers here.

i may join the ranks of this fourm soon enough.

any words of wisdom to share with the b5 1.8tqms considering a jump to a b7 2.0tqm?

The power is better that's for sure. I went from a 2.8 to a 2.0T. I'm pleased with the 2.0T. The technology in my new one is great. Still drives like an Audi. I miss the lack of servotronic sometimes though.

It's a great upgrade. I had a 99.5 1.8tqm and my B7 has been worth every penny so far.

I didn't go directly from a B5 to the B7, but I've had both. The B7 is a fantastic car.
What are you considering?
How's Chicago treating you?

iammatt

chicago is good. job is stable, and we're settling into the new city place.

looking at a b7 2.0T vs. an 09 wrx

Glad to hear that Chicago is treating you well.
Tough call between a B7 and a WRX, but I think that the interior refinement of the Audi is so much nicer. The WRX is probably a younger more tuner type car though if that's what you're looking for.

I'd be curious to hear what you decide. What year B7 are you looking at. You should be able to get a nice B7 for far cheaper than a new WRX.

I'm doing well. Yep...still at the same place although we've been aquired. We shall see.....

Then do the 640 mod

Just pull the Servotronic relay to eliminate.
