Chipped A4 1.8 has way more torque than a 2.8

190hp and 206ftbs (@3200)for the V6
chipped 1.8t (B5) from APR 205hp and 245ftlbs (@~2600)

If my math is correct, 245 > 206

Dont think a chip for the V6 is going to net you 40ftlbs

It doesn't need to, he just said the chip got him to 225 ft. lbs. Anyway, I wasn't saying that a chipped 2.8 is a torque machine, I was just saying that it's not true that "a chipped 1.8 has way more torque than a 2.8." Because it's not.

Something like that. You get a little more torque than you do HP, but it's still not that dramatic.
