Reliable isn't a word I would ascribe to either.

On that note, a well maintained, low mileage chipped 2.7T isn't that bad.

Having owned both, 2.8 sc

I did have small probs with the s/c, but it was stuff like vac leaks. Nothing that disabled the car.

So far, no major probs with the 2.7t either, but the turbos have started to whistle and the tranny is a bit rough...

Then again, the chipped 2.7t is a good bit faster than the 2.8sc.
