[V8] This may be too far out even for me....

[Bob]

My son has a 1999 A6 with 330k miles. He does have to make small repairs 
constantly because he does get replacement parts from the local U-Pull It yard. 

If you could find a clean low mile 1999 to 2002 A6 with a 30 valve 2.8 
you could add a PES supercharger for about $4k and have about 300HP.

I might point out here that the only goals in this entire thread is to 
1) extend the useful life of the 100 and 2) add those seventy horsepower 
that I have thought the car really, really needed. I know there is no 
way to get the added power from the 2.8 V6, at least none that I have 
found out about and I have been looking for a long time. I may have 
missed a thread someplace, and if there was a way to gain some extra 
power from the 2.8, it would be of interest because IF the car gets 
reconditioned and kept for another bunch of years, then the engine will 
need to come out and be resealed and likely rebuilt. Know any 
modifications to the 2.8 that do NOT degrade overall reliability? I'm 
not sure I'd object to finding a "known good" 2.8 V6 with KNOWN low 
miles....say 60k. It might not need total rebuild.
