Many things are possible, but whether there is any benefit, or
whether it is going to be cost-effective are entirely different
questions. I would think that there would be little point in adapting
the 2.8 (12 valve?) engine to take a single KO3 turbo.

 > if not, is there a turbo for the 2.8?

There is/was a company (PES url:http://www.pes-tuning.com) producing a
supercharger kit for the 2.8 30 valve engine at a price of $5000.
Installation is likely to cost a fair few dollars on top.

There are chips for the 12 valve and 30 valve engines, but you're
unlikely to get a significant power boost from simply chipping a
normally aspirated engine. However, you may gain a significant
improvement in smoothness and driveability. You would need to perform
other mods (including a change of camshaft profile) to gain much more
power. I don't know of anyone offering alternative profiles for the
Audi V6.

170 hp? Yep, that sounds like the old 12 valve motor. Easiest and
cheapest way to get close to 200 bhp+ is to exchange your car for the
later 30 valve model (193bhp stock, chipping should get you over
200bhp), an S4 (250bhp stock in US/Canada), or a 1.8T (150bhp-180bhp,
depending on age/model, which can be chipped to 210bhp, or so).
