Words I never thought I would type.
For some reason this happened directly after the ported supercharger install and there is metal everywhere in the engine.
Not going to assign blame to the shop who will fully cover the replacement
For a 12 yo car that is rarely driven I am at a loss.

Trying to move on and get a replacement.
I know nothing about this.
No a 4.0T is not an option now financially.
Where can I locate a low mileage replacement engine?
How do I tell the the engine code, and will a SQ5/A6 3.0T engine work.

I wanted a rebuild and was told that they do not know of anyone in South Florida that does this.

TIA for all pointers on this.

Check out Car-parts.com I've 3.0Ts on there as well as trannys for decent prices, they are connected with junk yards across the country.
