Default WHY???
Can't the new 3.2 VR6 with 240 hp now in the Golf RS not be fitted to the TT? This would make an absolutely cracking competitor to the Boxster.

If this has been done to death before, apologies - just point me in the direction of the threads.

Default HPA puts the VR6 into the TT... so the question is not CAN it be done, but does Audi WANT to?

it's $30,000 + the cost of your tt. (vr6 twin turbo ~500 horsepower, faster than a viper!)

It better have twin turbos, or they can keep it! 15bhp aint much of an upgrade IMO

Default It's the torque that counts not hp
In the Boxster you don't have to down shift, in the TT you do. It's not hp it's torque that makes the difference

i'd much rather have the single turbo to a twin... more power, fewer problems.

I know it doesn't belong here, but isn't the 225hp TT the most hp/L not S2000-TT-125hp | S2000-120hp
