Default 2000 a6 2.8 quattro, wondering what mods are possible? and what others have done

i know the 2.8 isnt the best platform to mod, but wondering if others have this model, and what have they done, and is this the same engine in a a4 2.8 aswell?

Default Yeah, for that kind of money, sell the 2.8 and buy a 2.7.

The 2.7's are getting really cheap these days.

Default You asked, so I am telling you what the best option is for the 2.8 otherwise

your options are exhaust, suspension and that is about all unless you want to spend $500.00 on a chip to gain yourself maybe 10hp.

Default Really not much for the 2.8 without supercharging - you could do exhaust. Chip isn't really worth

it. In terms of handling and stopping, you can go as crazy as anyone else if you want to.
