Is there such a thing? Can't find reference to one anywhere on the web.

Thanks.

Cool site, but I don't see a chip for the 2006 A6 (C6) 4.2. Maybe it's not out yet?

So which one is it and how do I get it? Again, I have a 2006 A6 4.2 with 335 hp. Nothing on the website that I can find matches this car. The only A6 4.2 (C6) on your site is the S6 engine with 450 hp.

Just so you know normally aspirated chips are not the best bang for the buck. A few hp for hundreds of $?

Is there a better alternative, or do you suggest just living with the 325 hp? Granted, it's a pretty cool ride the way it is -- just looking for a bit of extra zip -- 0 to 60 in 6 seconds is fine - just not great.

Get it supercharged.


Pardon my ignorance, but what does that entail and how much does it cost? Does it reduce engine life?

Thanks for the info.

If you are serious about getting some pretty substantial gains, it's a pretty damn nice way to go. Very expensive though. Couple of grand. I was just throwing it out there. If you have a couple hundred bucks to spend, you may as well spend it on exhaust. I was looking at chips for my A6 but they are just too expensive compared to the other Audi models. You should do some exterior mods to it. I like my engine just the way it is.

Thanks. What does an exhaust mod gain? What exterior mods are you thinking? I've got the adaptive air suspension and 18" wheels, so not sure what else is worth doing that doesn't look cheesy. Debadging and tinting perhaps. Anything else?

P.S. It's brilliant black.

You could drop it just a little bit more and put some different wheels on it. I like black wheels with a chrome lip on a black car. Would look pretty sweet.

Can't drop adaptive air suspension without taking the whole thing out and putting in spring suspension, which defeats the purpose od having adjustable air. Howver, I'm looking into reprogramming adaptive air to see if it can be lowered via software. I'll put on new wheels tires when current ones wear out.

Any suggestions for exhaust mod for A6 C6 4,2?
