It's not the most powerful engine around, but it should have a nice sound and be an alternative to the expensive Porsche engine. Any thoughts?

Engine on eBay

Crazy SVX drive-by

It just looks like it's made for our cars...

I didn't know there was a turbo kit for that engine. Man, that makes it even better! If I didn't already have a stupid fast Audi S4 (twin turbo 6-cyl) I would be tempted to get an SVX for my DD!

Why not swap in the Audi V6 and transaxle? I'm doing it with a 1.8t. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Mostly I like the boxer sound, just seems right in a Porsche. However I know my way around a Audi 2.7T that's for sure!
