Default upgrades for 30V 2.8 V6

Does anyone know of any reasonably priced upgradesd for the 30V v6? Are there any chips out there that give more than 3 to 5hp boost?

Default No - PES supercharger is the only real performace boost

The chip does smooth out the dip that occurs between 3-4k.

Unfortunately, there's not much you can do w/ a naturally aspirated engine.

Default They all give more than 5 hp!

They give 10hp!!!

However, I think that chip+exhaust will give you enough additional torque/hp to get a nice feeling driving in your car. It won't exactly be a race car, but should be enough to outgun most cars that will be driving next to you on a road.

Default Don't forget the intake!

The 2.8er's swear by the intake! phillg, you can ask djnelsen about the intake. I forget what he's done, but he has posted before regarding this.

Default i have GIAC chip and LLtek exhaust (more)

i have both of those in my 2.8 30v, both are worth it. granted it dosent turn our A4 into a rocketship, there are small gains in power. the GIAC chip helps more with throttle response, and does add a little power. my lltek exhaust is just awesome. little power added by my butt dyno, but it sounds great and looks great. and the price isnt that bad. If you're looking for true performance gains, call up PES-Tuning, and if you have the money, go for their G2-Supercharger. adding the blower to a completely stock 2.8 30v yields around 280hp and 280 torque. I dont know the exact figures, but it is definatly a nice increase in power. I am currently saving up for the PES blower right now =D
