3.0T? Get the RaceChip instead that I just wrote about and you'll be set with actual power and not just a feel.

weird though, the racechip site says I have 286 hp but Audi says I have 333...assuming Audi is correct, which is iffy, the cheapest racechip give me an extra 4hp...

Yeah, sometimes these guys get the stock numbers wrong... not sure if they are getting their tables from wrong places. I would concentrate more on difference gains rather than what you see there. You can always call them. But their product is no BS man... you'll love it.

Very easy install on 4.0T. I bet its easier on 3.0T because you probably only have one boost sensor.

Thanks for the heads up, I might check it out. all depends on the "real" gains and ease of install...

I'm still afraid of the skinny pedal when pulling into parking spots and backing up near things. I don't want to give it too much and hit something. Likely just a result of only driving it for a week and not used to it yet but I don't have any complaints about throttle response. Never driven a 3.0t so no clue about the difference.

3.0T is great. I love that engine and I think that it has just perfect throttle response when I test drove it.
