now. I would love for it to be faster then just a chip but I am nervous of the miles. I would like my car to last past 200k :-)

If those are okay and the engine was well cared for, regular oil changes with a good synth,etc., you should be fine.

runs close to new. reassuring that ill still be able to go big on this engine, eventhough if i do ill prob buy a long block and just build a whole engine...maybe its not realy needed though, id like 320+ crank hp. check out my other post.<ul><li><a href="http://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/2278333.phtml">http://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/2278333.phtml</a></li></ul>

you have to rebuild the engine with their kits anyways. So what's a head rebuild if you can afford the bottom end?

and the Dahlback K04 is what 240 hp 285 ft/lbs? and yu can prob eek a lil more out of that(say FMIC and water injection or somthing) so lets say 260 hp and 300 ft/lbs at the VERY most, there are people with more than that with more miles than you ahve, no real problems.

Im looking to get a dahlback kit at some point, I ahve the chip now and LOVE it. Im still paying for my car for another year though, once its paid off ill prob just buy a 1.8T block and build it and do the 330, 360, or 420 hp dahlback kit, im thinking the 330 or 360 though beause i dont think the 5 speed would realy like 420 hp all that much.
