Default Has anyone driven the 2.0T chipped compared to the 3.2l V6?

What the difference in feel?

I'm leaning towards getting a V6 because my current car is a 1.8T & I want more power.

But then again, I never did chip the car.

And what other "extras" should I get similar to my B6.... like short shifter, snub mount, etc?

Default I'm just saying that a chipped 2.0T is faster than the 3.2. Turbo does not have to be changed.

However you might miss the smoothness of a V6 (if you're into that).

Default Stock 2.0T feels world better than a stock 1.8T

My friend as an Ultrasport 1.8T and stock for stock the 2.0T is MUCH peppier. If you chip the 2.0T it feels comparable to my old stock B5 S4.

Snub is a nice mod for minimal cash, I don't mind the stock shifter on my 2.0T, so for me I am sticking with the stock throws.

But if you are familiar with the Mods and gains from your 1.8T, the mod path for the 2.0T is pretty much the same except things like turbo upgrades and fuel pumps are MUCH pricier than the comparable B6 Stuff, but if you are not going through that extensive path of modding, the paths for the B6 and B7 are identical except for brakes, as the B7 has much nicer OEM stuff (caliper from the S4)

Yup. OEM B6 brakes suck amazingly well.

The 2.0t is as smooth as the 1.8t, it just sounds rougher

2.0T w 93 octane APR chipped has way more torque, a little less hp. It feels quicker to me, and is definitely lighter and better handling.

V6 is smoother.

It was an easy decision, ultimately, for me, to go with the 2.0T
