Being the 2.7 and the 2.8 are the same engine there's no reason I can't. The problem is money not how. If I want 350 I can do a custom Eaton M90 supercharger w/ built and stroked 3.0. The cost wouldn't be cheap but everything but the parts to mount the supercharger are available and I happen to have some friends that own a machine shop. I don't know where I would have it tuned or which engine management I would use. I just need to find out if I can do this for under 10k or not.
I went on a drive with a supercharged B6 3.0q with just a chip and exhaust and was significantly quicker. Don't forget it's not just HP, but torque that makes a car go.
You can sell your car for, what, $6-7k? You can pick up a stage 3 S4 making north of 450hp/450-ftlb for $10k more than that and you'll have all the benefits of the S4 (nicer interior, 6spd trans, S4 body bits).
I really like the 2.8 for what it is, and with a supercharger it's a decent DD... but it's no 2.7t

Well, a little update...
They can't get us into Sonoma until March 23 or 24, and I won't get the car until after that, so... it looks like another two months before I get it.
I have no room to complain, really, but I am a little bummed out about the wait.

I followed an RS4 on the northway to Albany a few weeks ago, same color. Shot some pics, but they turned out like ****. I was happy to be in a convoy of Audis with the car. Having one in the garage would be ****.

Dude, no. Please go do some research. They are not the same. The fact is that "custom eaton M90 supercharger and built/stroked 3.0" will still likely make less power than an S4 with chip and exhaust.

possible tuning software. I'm told these guys work well with the higher displacement engines, and they deal mainly with european cars. bonus.

somebody5788.......nobody was trying to call you a liar, however a 2.7 is a twin turbo motor factory rated at 250CHP
and the 2.8 is an N/A motor making 190chp....
even though they are similar in displacement, they are different engines.........
