Ok, I'm the guy that just bought the 2008 3.2L Quattro. And one of yoo said that it would be much easier to upgrade the 2.0 than the 3.2

So here's the REAL question. Since I've hardly even used my Audi and it's still got a [special] warranty I can take it back within 10 business days or 500 miles. I want to know if it would be cheaper to upgrade a 2.0 to 300hp or the 3.2 to 300hp.

You can easily get 300bhp out of the 2.0t with just basic bolt ons (intake, turboback, fmic, and chip). That would be less than $3k depending on the parts you get. You can also do a turbo upgrade to a gt3071r and then you could have around 400whp. The 3.2 is a great engine, but you need around $10k to make real power out of it vs $5k for the 2.0T

That said, you can't get AWD with the 2.0T (for some stupid reason), so the 3.2 has a lot more ultimate potential if you don't want FWD. You can buy a +/-$5k supercharger kit for the 3.2 and make at least 300hp

THey make supercharges for the R32, but they dont fit in the TT engine bay. The only real kit for the 3.2TT is from HPA and you have to sell body parts to buy one

theres something cool about NA engines though, always seem to sound better with a more natural tone..... how many Ferrari's are turbo'd? granted their engines are humongous! haha but even so, they have such a great tone.....

The 09 TT has quattro if you want it. For about $2200 I have got my FWD 2.0T to about 260+ HP and can do 0 60 in 5.5 secs and probably better if I can get a great launch. Put the S3 K04 kit on it for $4500 and you have a sub 5 sec 0 60 car.

Wrong...go look at Audi's site...however you still can't get the 6-speed manual with the 2.0T which is a bummer.
