BUMP! Good info. I just bought an 03 A6 @ 40k and I have a good understanding of what to look for and also some upgrades. My "Speed Racer" days are over so Im just looking to keep my new-to-me ride clean and maintained, not looking for major performance upgrades. Im planning VAST Dp's, APR chip, and also diverter valves (Any suggestions on what brand) Im new to the Forums and I can see already there is a lot of info and suggestions.

welcome and congrats... you can just get the n710 DVs from the Audi TT or get APR R1 or Hyperbosst... Get an upgraded TBB like the Samco for reliability and olding boost When (b/c it will happen :) ) your auxiliary water pump under the intake gives up and leaks, and you have to replace it, get NewSouth Intake gaskets/spacers ot the ones from VAST. Make sure to do your TB/WP service at 70k

Air Intake Power Gasket for VW and Audi PowerGasket™ gives you up to 5% more power from your engine by reducing the temperature of the incoming air to your engine. NewSouth Performance has designed an insulating gasket that radically reduces the heat transfer from the cylinder head to the intake manifold. This gives you cooler, denser air for more horsepower and performance from your engine. Made from a high performance polymer, PowerGasket™ conducts on average less than 1/500th of the heat of the steel gasket that it replaces. Your intake manifold will stay 30-50° F cooler and your incoming air will stay 20-30° F cooler. PowerGasket Plus™ is a composite material that has a significantly higher continuous operating temperature than the original PowerGasket and does not require the application of any extra sealant.

is there a thread like this for the 2.8?

billvt -> RE: tips and suggestions for the new 2.7t owner (7/17/2008 5:11:02 AM)
New to Audis. Terrific information on this thread and much appreciated as I just purchased an `03 Allroad with 48K miles and an extended warranty which should cover me for all those things identified in the thread. But, as I am already looking at acquiring an `01 A6 2.7T with 101K miles, this information will certainly make me a much better informed purchaser. Thank you to all who are providing such good information on this site.
