Where did you get your power numbers? The stock 4.2 has a few under 300 ft lbs. of TQ stock. What chip are you referring to that produces a 52 HP gain? That much HP gain and less than 15 lbs. of TQ gain doesn't seem accurate. Torque is where you get your jump off the line and acceleration. You could have all the HP in the world but without TQ than your screwed. I had a 1984 GMC diesel van with a 6.2 liter motor. The pig was barely 180 Hp but could surprisingly mop up most vehicles because of the 300+ ft lbs. of TQ at 1200 RPM. Please advise on the chip and source of your power numbers.Oh, and if you are considering a turbo A6, make sure you find one with very low miles as stated above. They could be a lot of trouble if not properly maintained and operated.

I would go with the A6 4.2. I have the sport version, which even lowers the car another 2.5 cm (or inch or so) from the regular 4.2 and 3.0 cm from a regular A6 2.7T. In terms of the power gain through aftermarket options, keep in mind that the 50hp gain for the 4.2 applies to 2002 and newer models. APR does not (yet) have the power chip for 2001 and older A6 4.2 models.
