How reliable will that be? Not trashing the 1.8T, I know it's a good engine, but 550hp from a 1.8 means very narrow power band, and really not a good city driver.
Not only that, but have to also consider the modifications that need to be made so that the engine doesn't blow. Forged internals, lower compression ratios, rebuilt clutch, and on an Audi you can bet these things aren't cheap mods.
