Performance enhancement chip
What does this forum recommend for performance enhancement chips on Audi a6 3.2l. Year 2005
Is this something that can be done and is fruitful?

The 3.2 is normally aspirated and there is not much you can do with a tune on a normally aspirated engine. I think that there was a company that sold a chip but it was expensive with hardly any gain.

If you want to get better handling - get better (e.g. more expensive) tires. even better dedicated summer and winter tires.

Not to sound like an old man, but on 2005 you can gain performance by spending money on maintenance. replacing spark plugs, air and fuel filter, clean snow screen. Replace AT fluid and I bet you will restore more power, then you can possibly get from the chip.

I got a sponsorship from Unitronic HQ in Montreal.
My avant is chipped. Better fuel mileage for sure.
Throttle response is better and low rpm power feels better.
As for overall gain of HP, i don't know, but like i said, the fuel mileage + gains at low RPM are positive for me!

I would not recommend a chip only update. My old car was a passat1.8T with chip tuning only (80HP extra). After some time all gearbox, exhaust and suspension system got damaged as they were not designed for that much extra power.

And please do not compare a chip for 1.8T and a 3.2FSi... Turbo applications are not even close to be the same. And the 80hp is also bullcrap. They give 35-45hp on stock cars. Stop watching TV.
As for Dyno sheets, i don't care about performance, so there's no way i will spend money on dyno runs
Find any data for R32, A3 3.2 or any car running the 3.2, and the A6 should be exactly the same... same engine

Stealing a line from you, I say Bull Crap. Without a dyno sheet any claims about improvements is nothing more than a snake oil pitch. I hope that you got good terms on your deal for being sponsored by snake oil. LOL
