Default A3 3.2 Tuning Mods - Newbie Question

Hey - just got a 2006 3.2 S-line and have had a hard time finding tuning mods for the 3.2 engine. Seen tons of products for the 2.0T but not for the 3.2. Can anyone point me in the right direction for maybe exhaust and cold air intake for this engine? Anyone know if the R32 products will fit this particular engine? TIA

Default Your widest range of upgrades are probably going to come from HPA. Not cheap, but

usually well sorted out.<ul><li><a href="http://hpamotorsports.com/">http://hpamotorsports.com/</a</li></ul>

Default Milltek exhaust is available for small HP/TQ increase but mainly sound.

Technine s/w is available for small increase.
Thats pretty much it commercially for power before you go big $$$ with HPA turbo(s) upgrade.

Couple of 3.2Q (and MKV R32) specific suspension options, and the brakes are the same as 2.0T, GTI, and MKV R32.

Default HPA! :thumbup:

the engine is exactly the same as the one in the R32, but your engine room is different, and so certain plumbings/routings will vary a bit.
evoms if you want to spend money for a cai, but better, just diy, cut the bottom out of your stock airbox, and throw a k&amp;n filter panel in there.

link below, to stock airbox mod on r32

if you are not going with forced induction right away, the best way to go for a 'chip' is GIAC

suspension, and forced induction, ...go with HPA, period

exhaust is a toss-up, but my vote would <i>have</i> to go to milltek<ul><li><a href="http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3111039">stock airbox mod - oh, baby!</a></li></ul>

That's what I was afraid of - not a whole lot of choices out there other than the big $$ ones. Is it just going to be while in coming or will any mfg's ever produce products for this engine? It seems the 2.0T has quite the following in this area.
