Any good in modding a 2.7t with a TIP at Stg.3? What kind of performance #'s would I be looking at?

TIP FTL!

So you have 4 months to source the parts for the conversion.

Yeah, but I really dunno if its worth it to mod a Tip turbo car, is it? A manual tranny is more fun.

Seeing if there is any hope at all for the 2.7t with a TIP.

Keep the A6 2.7 as a daily. Turn the S6 into a monster.

Where did you get your D2 A8 stickshift interior pieces from, what about the clutch hydraulics and pedal assy? Are the pedals the same as other Audi's? How about the shift linkage?

Default Use the S for the sports car

Engine + tip chip and you'll have a nice highway stormer. Also, the 6-speed feels weird coming from a UrS. In general S is much better for sporty driving.
