Reading about all the 1.8 swap jazz and wondering what about a 2.8bi turbo

[BRIT4VWS@aol.com]

Well, listers I am fond of all these ideas about the little 1.8 turbo motor 
going into my car but this isn't really what I want to know and I will tell 
you why.  This motor is small and being small it will be loud (even with 
turbo) personally I like the hearty growl of my inline five and speed means 
just a little bit less than sound does to me.  What would interest me would 
be a BI-turbo or even a single turbo 30 valve V6 in my car?  Hey it fits in 
the A4 just like the 1.8T and they had a 12 valve version of the same engine 
in 90's and in cabriolet's so I think it might actually work and think about 
it you can have it factory fresh too and how much horsepower was that again?  
Forget puny (smaller) 4 cyl engines in a car that needs at least a 20 V 5 cyl 
just to make it competitive against what would be it's market segment today 
and go with an engine that would surpass all in it's market segment.  Blow 
the doors of every BMW and Porsche and almost any other car made currently 
off the road.  BTW this is where I start considering the ABS swap idea as you 
need way more than just good brakes to stop a car like this you need the best 
and that includes some form of ABS.
