They are slow stock

Is it auto or manual?

Got a boost gauge?

It was made as an economy engine. When Audi brought it out, they intended the V6 to be the performance version. The aftermarket will solve this for you.

Best you can do is a tune and a test pipe. It will make it faster but will always be slow
