Link wont work for me.
I just bumped abother B8 article i posted last week. The b8 is growing on me, i love the interior and exterior and the new powerplant has alot more area under the curve than the new V8 for HP and TQ. Could be a nice mildly tuned up 400HP daily driver....

+1 on seeing the wagon. supercharged torque 
, and 1 amazing interior. The exhaust, in theory, should be awsome. Like the 2.7, but without turbos interupting the flow. Maybe alot like the current 3.2. I cant wait to see one in person!

Just curious bout what you mean by TT-RS? I know your not talking about the RS version of the TT, cause thats a completely different car, transverse motor. Are you saying its gonna be twin turbo in the RS tune? Im confused???

I am talking about the TT-RS which is another car but uses the same 3.0TFSI motor, same as the A6 and god knows what else theyle put it in. Transverse just means its mounted with the crank to one side or the other. Also means its not a true "quattro" because it used haldex AWD not torsen....
This is of course assuming the latest rumors are true, and not the older ones of a 2.5 inline 5 turbo being in the TT-RS. Which to be honest i would greatly prefer. I love the Turbo I5. Love it to death.

I know but I cant imagine that motor fitting in a tt. The VR motor is a tight fit and its a 15* V, the 3.0TFSI is a 90* V. I like the idea of the I5, it would be like the old days of the 20v turbo cars, old school... maybe the next RS2, lol! Thats the same motor as the rabbit/jetta and its gotta real nice growl! And with a turbo, there would be some major potential. The thunder bunny concept had over 300 hp and it was factory done, plus that engine has a good head design, as it is shared with the gallardo V10
