1.8T or 2.8 for B5??
 
Which would you chose? the 1.8T or the 2.8n/a??

I have never done a poll before so i hope this works.

Poll works :)

I chose the 1.8T because its cheaper and gives you such great low end torque.

I absolutely love the 1.8 litre engine from Audi / VW

Where is your heart do you like to ride relax ( 2.8 ) or torque (1.8T). My personal choice is the 1.8T the 150hp can be tuned to a 280 not just with chiptuning of course but it is possible.... :twisted:

I think in Canada the 1.8T comes in at 175hp and 180 lb-ft of torque at 1800-3000 RPM

Of course, for $500 extra you can get the chip and an extra 25 horses and a pile more torque

The 1.8T got a power upgrade from the measly 150hp (can't remember when I think around 1999??) to 170hp and 166lb/ft torque. The 1.8T in the TT (i.e.: transverse mounted) put out a bit more power/torque due to the arrangement allowing for better intake/exhaust flow

But get the 1.8T. There's no warranty so might as well chip it with Revo, APR, GIAC, etc.

Mike is correct...again :)

Here is a good article about the 2002 A4 1.8T:

You'll need more than a K04 for those WHP.

ATP's GT2X turbo would be the closest thing.
