Yes. The 2.8 has more power.

Default that question is actually in an audi exam

and they expect me to know the answer to that.

the 2.8 is quicker off the line as it has more power.

Default Ah, the age old question.

Times vary per year for the B5, as the 2.8 made 170HP in 96/97, due to the 12v head. The 30v in 98 and later makes 190HP. The 1.8T made 150HP up 'till somewheres around the 2001 year (not sure) The last B5 1.8T put out 170HP, I think?

It'd be interesting to see a 12v vs. a 2001 1.8T.

Default 1.8t chipped is just about = to a 2.8 chipped, both manuals.

although, comparing a modded turbo car to a naturally aspirated car is a little unfair, since the turbo makes such nice fat torque.
