I would disagree.  The 1.8t is a VERY stressed engine.  By having that 
redline and that long stroke, there is alot of stress on that thing.  If 
you look at the list of what Audi did to strengthen the motor in the 
225hp version, it might make you very nervous about upgrading that other 
1.8t without similar mods...

Plus there is the fact that the 225hp version has 2 intercoolers and a 
bunch of other little things.....
