The V6 shared by Audi and VW is a 2.8 liter (2.7 in S4 TT form) 30 valve V6, and is not related to a VR6 (60 deg vs. 15 deg). For VW, the 30 valve V6 only goes in the Passat (B5), no A4 chassis. The A4 4Motion cars will be getting the all alloy 24 valve VR6 with 204 hp. Aside from running this list, I'm on no less than FOUR VR6 related lists, where the above topic has been beaten to death for months... --Holland Forced Failure Racing Don't Ask MotorSports [email protected] a2_16V List Owner [email protected] San Jose, California _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
