not enough.

Well, technically, I've seen d series motors running over 400 horse (one was a supercharged one). But if you are talking n/a then not enough - you'd be hard pressed to get about 180 out of either. Turbo/supercharged i'd say max around 450.

a 160-180 hp d16a6 will have very high compression, like 12:1. It will not idle good because of a big cam and it will get lower gas milage. It would be a race motor. You dont need that much horsepower in a lightweight d series. Put a cam in your a6 and get a header. Then get nitrous or turbo it.
Oh by the way, that is a nice 4door i like your mods.

go to exospeed.com. They sell race heads and cams, all kinds of stuff for the a6. He builds crazy a6's.

If it's built internally then it's not stock. It all depends on what your future plans are. If you are going to be power crazy I would just say go B20/V-tec I have heard good things about those.

If you are wanting a peppy engine the build your A6. I have a Y8 that I am building mid compression (10.5:1) and low boost. So it should be pretty quick. I'm not looking to build a race car though.

Again it just depends on what your goals are. Then we can go from there.
