Sod that.
I'd go for the 3.0 V6 A4 cabriolet.

Take a look at this list:

You can get much more than 240hp if you are willing to spend more than
£3000.

Isn't a larger turbo used in the 225HP version?

I find my A6 1.8T Multi to be well sorted for power, It all depends on where
you catch the Turbo, sometimes you can shove the pedal down and nothing
happens but select the right gear and get the revs right and the thing
rockets away.

The 225 from the TT also uses a Forged Crank (instead of Cast) to handle the
increased hp.

This reply got send directly to me as an email. Just thought I'd post it to
the group. Obviously some people don't realise that usenet isn't just for
experts, it's for anyone and everyone to freely post opinions and ideas,
even if they might not know all of the facts.

Well what exactly are the differences between the 150bhp and 225bhp versions
of the engine then?
Is it just a bigger turbo, and uprated head gasket? Or are slightly lower
compression pistons fitted? If it's just these things that make it
different, but it's the same basic block and head design, then it *is* the
same basic engine. If not, then I was completely wrong, but no need to get
arsey about it.

www.nothelle.com;
My A4 1.8 T was tuned with their chip and got 210 hp.
PS: I had a problem later on with the turbo hose (see other posting in this
group).

USENET also has a set of conventions for use. These conventions
include avoiding posting private e-mails without permission, and how
to order one's posts for logical reading (avoiding top-posts.) If you
would like, I can supply you with a long list of URLs that deal with
netiquette.
The answer to the questions posed about the differences between the
150 and 225HP 1.8T has been gone over several HUNDRED times in this
forum alone! That is why you use a search engine - to get answers to
questions.
Start with www.google.com, and click on the web tab and do a search.
If you do not get answers, click on the groups tab and search there.
While you are there, use the search string "netiquette top posting".
I am still unclear as to why you would offer an opinion on something
that you obviously know very little about. "Because it's there"?
