Best bet is a piggyback boost controller. chiptuning.us has them, DTE, DTUK... They will give you a bunch more power/torque with a simple install.

racechip is a good bet which won't jeopardize your warranty (assuming you take it off everytime you go to dealer)
I have it on my 2.0T A4. Noticeable difference over stock
Let us know what you go with along with some feedback

I bought and immediately returned chipyourcar.com product Chip. There are so many mixed reviews of people that said it did absolutely nothing and some said they noticed a difference. Is this website basically the same as some of the other chips you guys recommended?

No, the other units are different. I run the DTUK unit (basically the same unit as DTE or chiptuning.us, but possibly different mapping...). There is a huge gain over stock on my 3.0.
The units from the companies I listed we mount inline with your crank sensor, map sensor and turbo map sensor. They then "spoof" the ECU into seeing a lower boost pressure based on RPM. The ECU in turn tries to hit torque targets, so it allows the boost to scale higher than OEM (since it's seeing a lower value) -- hope that makes sense?
You tend to lose smoothness on shift points since you're putting down a lot more torque than the ECU actual believes it's giving you, but an easy sacrifice compared to the power gains.

Since no Sq7 was avail i went with just comfort. The 2.0 was fully loaded and for a $6500 difference didn’t think it was worth it for 2 cylinders and color changing ambient lighting. Im way more of a comfort guy than speed but figured with that extra $6500 I’d have some room for after market speed. Already wrapped and tinted the car so it would cost me that much more to get the 3.0 now. Extremely happy w the 2.0(never drove the 3.0 and don’t intend to lol)

Otherwisse I found that setting rear tire pressure to 39psi, makes car a lot faster
