2.0T Tuned VS 3.0T Stock
Hey all,
Met a fellow Q5 owner in the area who just picked up a brand new Q5 3.0T S-Line, so we decided to see how our cars stack up against each other, safely of course.
I pitted my GIAC tuned Q5 2.0T S-Line's turbocharged 4-banger against his stock 3.0T supercharged V6. Ever since the new engine came out, I've been dreading that our 2.0's have become obsolete to some degree.
After some pulls on empty roads ranging from 60 to 140, 80-140, or 50-100, our cars were neck and neck. As long as I kept the car at 3rd or 4th before I punched it, the turbo didn't lag at all and didn't fall behind.
Long story short, looks like a tuned 2.0T is pretty well equivalent to a 3.0T, with the difference being more torque vs better high end power and quicker off the line, respectively.
Just wanted to share my observations, we'll be sure to get a video or two at some point for a better comparison.
Cheers,
Alex

It might be quicker off the line, but go K04 and you'll pass him up no problem once up to speed.
Most of the K04 vids on-line vs the R8's are starting while already moving if you'll notice. However, there are some of K04 rides on the strip that start off the line slower, but by the halfway point they are neck and neck, then they leave the other cars in the dust from there.
You know you want to do it
Look forward to the video!

Sorry birdman, my post was harsh. Whatever makes you happy is fine with me. 
Edit: We had a birdman in my college dorm. He earned the name by jumping out of 2nd story windows LOL.
