Better than the 180s. The 180s are pretty much identical to the VW 1.8Ts. The 225s are closer to the older VW 1.8ts. 225s = 9:1. 180s = 9.5:1. I’d get the 225. Trans is better, turbo is better, resell value is better. 225 can hold somewhere into the ~350whp range, 180 can hold ~300whp range. By the time you’re making that power you better do rods. Pistons are great in both… rods are garbage. OP, I sent you a PM… and I’m going to send a second now. Just let me know. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/audi-people-problem-1-with-my-a4-1-8t/196751)._
