Turbocharging A5
I've had an A6 2.7t for years, and I absolutely love it. I'm picking up my new A5 in a couple of months. While the performance should be roughly the same, I am going to miss the great turbo feeling. Any options coming on line out there to turbocharge this engine? Seems like the 3.2 FSI engine has been around long enough that something might be available out there.

Turbos? Sure why not
VF Engineering sucks. They spent well over 4 years on supercharging the R32, which is the 3.2 liter V6 as well... and STILL have failed.
Contact Marcel @ HPA, they do A3s and TTs.... Why not A5s?

I don't know anything about this subject, but just to make sure there is no confusion the A5 has a different engine than A3, TT or R32 which have the old-school 3.2 (not to mention different engine orientation), A5 has the new 3.2 FSI with valve-lift.

because the A3s, R32s, and TTs use a 3.2L transverse VR6, not a longitudinal 3.2 V6 like in the
A4, A5, A6, etc. Much easier to build the plumbing for a motor that essentially has one cylinder head and one exhaust manifold.

VF has some pretty powerful supercharged M3s running around
and their 2.0T setups are downright nasty.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a5/msgs/29765.phtml">this is why A3, TT, R32 turbo applications != A4/A5/A6</a></li></ul>

just means it's far more work. Hopefully there's more room under the hood of the S5
than the A4... but there may not be the demand in the market to make the R&D worthwhile. When force-feeding a stock NA motor, there's a lot of testing that needs to be done regarding the strength of stock internals. The VR motors have been running some decent boost on stock internals for some time now. FSIs are relatively new. Hopefully something comes out, but don't hold your breath. You've seen how long the 4.2 V8 has been out without a single (realistic) forced-induction option.
