well the main reason cost,
1: whole donor car less than a grand,
2: no added cost for adaption, $570 for a v6 turbo flywheel and clutch, all bolts up
3: no chopping of front xmember to fit, no need to alter waterpump etc
4: simple to adapt ECU (although this is the same for an LS )
5: 300hp stock so easier on the trans but enough to make the car a bit quicker
my motor had sustained water into #1 cylinder (rain entering via manifold burn hole) so potential $$ to repair and also fire damage to top of motor so lots of small expensive plastic parts there to replace, sold old motor for $500 so that offsets motor cost,
my donor Audi is the 01 model and seems to be the best of that series of motors for reliability
