Just got this clip from Audiworld 

"Ingolstadt - Due to slipping sales and increased controversy
surrounding 
the 1.8T engine Audi has announced the replacement for the 1.8T engine.
The 
replacement engine is a new direct injection 2.2L turbocharged 5
cylinder 
engine. The engine is being produced by quattro GmbH and will arrive in 
dealers as a 04.5 mid year release. 

The new 2.2DT (Direct inject Turbo) will produce 245hp. Mid year changes

also include larger brakes front/rear and dual intercoolers. Audi also
noted

that the 3.0 will be replaced with a 3.6L for MY2005." 

Please contact your dealer for further questions. Details are available
in 
early April for you fools.
