Default 2013 A6 Performance Chips

I just purchased the 2013 Audi A6 2.0T front wheel drive, inline-4 (CVT). I love the car but want to see if there are any good options for a chip to boost performance.

Does anyone have suggestions for performance chips? If not a chip, other options to increase the horsepower and torque?

Someone with more knowledge will hopefully answer as well but personally I would be hesitant to add power to your car. Not because of the motor but because of the CVT.

Thanks for the forewarning, I wondered about that myself. Hopefully I hear some more but I'll take that into consideration before I make any decisions.

Someone else will chime in I'm sure, but I thought it was generally a bad idea to increase the power on the CVT as that is the weak link of that model.

Yes, I did. i thought I was posting to two different audiences and realized it was the same after the fact. New to forums in general so learning curve. I'd like to delete one but again, new to this and don't know how.

I would also be hesitant to chip a FWD. Could be dangerous when the front wheels break loose when powering on wet roads or in a turn.
