Default Just buy an S6 with a 2.2t, it's better than a 1.8 anyways.

All said and done, it will cost you less...

how much do you think 2.2 swap will cost? or should i just put in a a6 30 valve with less miles. just considering this cause. i had some issues with my car after i bought it. has 144000 miles on it. think i should just tune it up and replace timing belt? or rebuild engine? JUST looking for something with a little bit more performance

thanks

Default You'd be better off tuning it up and doing the timing.

Engine work, which I have looked into, just isn't worth the price for these cars.

If you want more power, go with an S6 and mod the turbo to get your desired hp.

how many miles can i expect to get out of the engine if properly maintained? i brought this car about 3 months ago and had to do a little work breaks, tires, then my car over heated and the fan was not coming on. my brother jumped IT SO THE fans work. so i have to get it fixed. he will fixed.
