    I have a 2.8L, Quattro. I'm in the process of doing interior work as it's winter time here. I'm going to be buying Coil Overs, 18s and that's going on this Spring. A COI and some other cosmetic engine upgrades are going to be happening, too.

    Now, what recommendations do you recommend to get a little more HP? Nothing to serious, like a Super Charger or anything. But maybe coil packs? Pulley? Etc?

    I recommend the Search button. If you're new to this forum, read the rules and get familiar with the forum first.

    Do you feel better now? Did you pee a little when you typed that out of excitement? Do something productive. And I'm NOT a "noob". I just choose to post on other sites that aren't so populated. You fuck.l

    As to everyone else. Apologies. It's been a long weekend and week, even though it's Monday. I didn't even realize what topic I was in when posting. I had a few windows open and thought I was in one. And I never did think to search, well, had no luck. But I will now do that. Once again. Apologies.

    Your def a noob in my book, you wouldnt be dicking around trying to make power NA on a 2.8 motor if you werent... And no, I didnt get excited when posting that, actually was a bit upset... Never want to have random stuff in this forum, but it was bound to happen... Post in the regular B5 forum and search a bit, you'll learn some good stuff

    I'm not a newb, but I thought I'd come somewhere else for another opinion. It's either Super Charger or nothing. Ya know? I apologize for the slight slander as well as for this post to you. And it's human nature to make a mistake like mine. We've all done it. I just got out of the service, and in my area, no one's really up to helping me do a swap (1.8t, 2.7tt) you know. I like to go big or go home, but I can't justify doing much to a 2.8l, either. It's just hard to sit around wondering what I could do other than cosmetic upgrades. Ah well. Sorry again.

    And what makes you think I wouldn't do that here?? Building an N/A engine is less complicated b/c there's no B/S from routing pipes, lines, coolers, etc.

    What? I get better mileage in my 1.8T than I did in my 2.8. The 2.8 liked doing 115 a lot more though. I just get there in half the time now.

    Word. I got >31mpg on the 800 mile drive to WF14. Personal best on my 12V was like 26-27, whereas I average that now w/ combined driving. 12V=172hp, Modded 1.8T= ~215-220crank hp, ... 1.8T>12V

    N/A isn't bad either, you just need more cubes. like this...

    >400whp and the ability to hit a 250shot of N20 whenever, Priceless


    The roommate laughed for ages about my anger at installing camshafts into an "in block" cam engine. So he took a pic, I don't know what happened to the one that looked awkwardly sexual

    100HP/liter ain't shit anymore, >100WHP/liter is where it's at.

    I'm just happy I have more than 100WHP in general though.

    Blah blah blah blah... I dont say SHIT when someone posts bullshit in the regular forum, but I dont when they post it in a, shall we say, "advanced" forum... Projects/builds arent supposed to have random shit, esp as beat to death as this one... And yea, I make decent money off these forums, so you could say its a little piece of my life
