Default A4 1.8T vs. A4 2.8

I was wondering which type of A4 would be a better purchase. I know that the 2.8 is a bigger engine, but the 1.8 turbo seems to have more expandability.

Default yes 2.8 is nice but if you plan on doing ANY mods go 1.8T

I love my 2.8 its nice and smooth and quiet, and fast

but the 1.8T's dont have as many of the higher end things like leather and other things

plus I didnt like the 1.8T very much in the way it drove seemed to light.

but if I sometimes wish I would have gotten the 1.8T

but that is my opoinon

2.8............ALL THE way, MUCH MUCH nicer....forget the modding, go for S4 if you want the speed.

Default I have.

The G2 PES kit is great. You might want to bop over to Rob Andrew's web site at take a look, hes got lots of pics.

It's a pretty big mod tho'. Big money. Lot's of things to do under the hood (not like just dropping in a cone filter or something).

But man, an almost 300 HP A4. I love surprising people with mine.
