2.8L turbo

[NYdriftA4]

is it even possible..if so how much work do you guys think is involved with that.

[bernB5]

this has been discussed alot. just do a 2.7t or 1.8t swap, or screw all of that a buy a different b5.

[oneohone]

Yeah it has been discussed alot. Lots of work. And money. You want a 2.8T huh? Buy a 2.7T and over bore it. Wella!

[michael66899]

The search button is your friend. And buy an S4, trust me.

[mike-2ptzero]

You can do what another 2.8 owner did. Swap out the 2.8 for a 1.8t, go BT and stand alone. That will give you a A4 2.8 with a turbo.

slightly different but been done by a few members: PES supercharger. They are $3500 with tune plus about 10 hours suggested for labor for a shop

and you'll still get walked by a bone stock cobalt ss, srt4, evo, sti.... there's no point. the 2.8 is just not meant to be anything more but a decent daily driver platform.

coming from a 30v 2.8 a while back, i'd have to say that's the best answer to any 2.8 modding question

[Beemer832]

i agree too. i had a 2.8 before my 1.8... 1.8 had MUCH more power potential and is MUCH easier and less expensive to work on. 4 of everything, not 6 :)

regardless of your choice, have fun.

There is a guy local to me, kansas city mo, that has a 12v rear mount turbo. I have yet to see the car in person but heard it was pretty sweet. he ended up doing lots of head work to get the head to flow better.

there is a guy in seattle area who did it, saw it on the leavenworth drive a couple times. cost huge$$$ but the thing hauls.

[fenderstrat1184]

OP basically its all about the Benjamins. If you have a lot of them / don't care, then anything is possible, hell put a warp drive in there. If not, you're probably better off selling the 2.8 and picking up a 1.8t or a 2.7t. If that doesn't work, perhaps look into swapping in a 1.8t or a 2.7t into your 2.8.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

You say that like going BT in a 1.8 is "cheap"

Yeah no kidding haha. BT anything isn't cheap.

[xraycer2012]

If you have to ask this question then you definitely don't have the knowledge to be able to do it. Buy a 1.8T. BernB5 couldn't have said it any better:

[Toyotatech]

Food for thought, the 2.7 guys use the 2.8 head on big builds.........

NYdriftA4 you you want to turbo it, do it. Build the motor and turbo it.

[Siena]

With time, patience, knowledge and money, it can be done.

[AsianA408]

its been done, and cheaper then some but it wasnt perfected, look up AUDIBOY on AW. hes in norcal. done to a 12v tho not 30v
