300hp to the wheels? (2.7T)
 

I just bought a 2002 A6 2.7T Tip last week and I'm ready to start modding it. My goal is about 300hp at the wheels WITHOUT upgrading to the K04 turbos and WITHOUT chipping! I'd also like a mid 13 sec. qtr. mile time. I just bought a set of 235/40/18 BFGoodrich TA KDWtires. Is this possible?
This is a list of parts that I'm interested in getting:

VAST piggies & phelonic intake manifold spacers, port/polished t.body & int. manifold

APR exhaust & bi pipe

upgraded diverter valves

upgraded air intake


*The reason I want to save money & skip the k04 turbos and chipped ecu is because I'm also building a MKIV Supra Turbo right now as well.

Chances of you getting to 300hp with the parts you want is pretty feasible as long as the engine is in good shape and has been maintained that includes your turbo.

You might as well just get the chip, that will put your numbers way up there, for not that bad of a price.

I think you will fall well short of your goal without chipping. With what you are planning + Chip... maybe then.

so most of you recommend a giac chip or something similar? does the check engine light stay on after chipping?

RE: 300hp to the wheels? (2.7T)
 

NO way you'll gte to 300 AWHP, not even withthe chip I think.
You're looking at a 20, maybe 25% drivetrain loss.
The air intake might actually suck a few ponies.

Exhaust adds just a few HP.
I think Piggies and intake spacrs are yuor best mod.

As for mid 13's 1/4m, do the chip to get there...

You'll need to chip it no matter what. It's probably the most cost effective thing you can do, which is what you're after. And if you plan on getting into the mid 13's without it, you better take out all your seats and sh*t. :)

Not even close to 300 whp with those mods! With a chip, downpipes, exhaust(aka stage 2+) you may reach maybe 275 whp...maybe

^ Yup

Go KO4s for 300AWHP.
You'd need 400 at the crank and it ain't happening with these mods.. Tips especially will bea little slower...
I have lots of mods, including the above and chip.... and I would guess I am at 350-360, which is b/w 270/280at the wheels.
To get to the 13;s also consider a tip chsip to improve shifting. You might gain another 1/4 second + with it
