Hey guys i was just browsing on the GIAC website and I was looking to the A6 section. Does anyone no if it is possible to put a GIAC chip in a 99 2.8? Thanks in advance

 

yes you can and it will only give you about 10hp but if it was a turbo 75hp big diff. but think about it 10hp is still more than stock and every little thing helps

 

You can turbo a 2.8 i thought it was only able to be supercharged?

 

no he ment that if it was a turbo'd car to begin with not a n/a then you would see greater gains from chipinh. a 1.8t gains closer too 50hp from a chip because boost can be increased, along with other things.

 

Oh alright thanks guys

 

does anyone have this chip done on there 2.8 v6. im interested in doing this but not sure if its worth it.

 

I'm going out on a limb and saying no- definitely not worth it. Enjoy the car for what it is, or trade up for a different model. The 2.8 seems like a solid runner, but it is not the performance variant.

 

i've come to the same conclusion. The 2.8 is a cruiser, it only powers the car, it isn't the car. sure the 2.8 can move but it isn't turboed andthere isn't alot you can do to it.

 

my good friend GIAC chipped his 98 A4 2.8. It made quite a bit of difference and it was realativly cheap(about $325 here at a shop in NC). It is a 5 speed and he also did a cold air intake and exhaust and that car will move! For the money it is a pretty good investment.

 

but isn't the a4 lighter then the a6? if its lets say atleast 600lbs then it should pull like a beast compared to the a6
