Greetings Techies... Is it possible (via turbo/superchargers) to upgrade an A6 (year 2005 and up) to have the bhp of an RS6? There are some RS6's available, but I'm not too fond of the 2003 body for the A6.

Would be nice if we had an RS6 (with the newer body) here in the States. And "no" I'm not like the Sultan of some foreign country so importing one (which I looked into) is out of the question since I'll pay over $20,000 for transport, custom fees, and costs to change it to comply with American standards to get it here---then the costs to convert it back to its European beast-mode once I get it.

Just curious....do you guys/gals think this is feasible?

 

Nope.. different engine.

 

It is pretty easy to do, but not cheap. The C5 RS6 had 444 HP. MTM offers a supercharger for the C6 that brings the HP to 450 HP.

 

The 2003 A6 has a beautiful body....softly rounded curves like a woman. Uh oh. I'm outa here. Back to the shrink.

 

Oh no, trust me I LOVE the curves! That's what drew me to Audi initially!

So Kev, is it safe to say that MTM is a better route than PEStuning?

 

Still say its not worth it.. you supercharge that motor w/o strengthening the bottom end and it'll not be long for this world.

 

Would it be cheaper to import it to canada and drive it in?

 

PES is only good for 300hp for 2.8, 320 or so for 3.0. 4.2 is good for about 400 I think. Nothing for 3.2 though...
