Well, according to Audi USA
The curb weight for the 3.0 QM is 3583 lbs. and 1.8 TQM is 3406 lbs. So, at 270 lb-ft (when chipped), the 1.8T would have 49 lb-ft more torque and according to the brochure, it's 177 lb lighter. Just by the numbers, it should be a tad quicker than the 3.0 (stock). But I've seen a supercharger for the 3.0 guys. IMO a supercharged 3.0 would decimate a 1.8T.

1.8TQM 0-60: 7.9 seconds ... 3.0QM 0-60: 6.9 seconds. About a one second diff without a chip...
should be very close with a chip... The 1.8T I think would be slightly faster with a chip and an exhaust.

You also have to take into account the gearing of the cars.
The 3.0 will have an advantage in gears. The 1.8T will run out of gear fast and require shifts earlier.
Also, with just a chip, the 1.8T runs out of steam in the high rpms, where the 3.0 will pull all the way to redline.
Again, there are a lot of variables so without a race, it's all supposition.
