What to get with Audi 2.7T engine, and what to look for

• Mileage is not a huge factor, anything under 150k is fine, as long as it was not abused and neglected. Some examples with 180k have been fine. 

• APB OR BEL code are fine, only advantage to BEL is updated ignition coils, block has some revisions. Does not matter if it came from an auto or manual trans car. 

• Wiring harness, ECU

• Alternator, starter, belt tensioner, intake manifold, throttle body
