A6 3.0 mods
#2
This engine is already putting out quite a bit for being naturally aspirated. It's got variable intake runners, variable valve timing, high compression and four valves per cylinder. Anything else will reduce reliability/driveability. I suggest getting back that 20% power lost due to old sensors and filters. Just get the injectors cleaned and matched, replace the MAF, replace the O2 sensors, the plugs, all the filters and put in all synthetic fluids including differentials. You'll get more power this way than anything short of turbos.

Well, hate to burst your bubble but an N/A v6 isn't going to become a lot faster with an exhaust, cold air intake and a tune. It will be throatier and a bit better on pick up, but, still not "a lot" faster, thats not what that engine was designed for.

There is a company that does ecu tunings for the 3.0 they claim it adds around 10 BHP. That should be plenty with a CAI, exhaust and other filter and injection cleaning/ replacements.

In the same boat with you man, made the mistake of buying a ****** 3.0. Not a bad car to drive but if your looking for something faster look into the 2.7t or an s4. The real upgrades are in those models. exhaust/intake/tune/plugs/senors -even with all those your not going to see a huge difference. trust me. if your willing to pay for upgrades, sell the 3.0 get a 2.7t 100%

The super charger is about 4000-5000 for the part. Or 5000 you can get a used 2.7 and callit a day

But you have the old 3.0 then theres not much out there for you. Sorry. Lol.

Look in his garage 2009 3.0t wow...... There are some nice upgrades for that beast .... Just be careful as they will void your warranty if they find out?.idk if you care or not ..... I would but it has the same engine as the s4 just detuned ... I don't know why they do this but they do
