S6 Mods to 400 horses?

[chucklane]

What mods have you guys done to your S6? Since its almost the same engine and powertrain can they be done to an S8?

check the vag page i am getting a new exhuast for the S8 which should provide a good bump to HP besides that i want to get a chip but dont know who to go with. ALso can the tranny really handle any more power increase?

I have driven my S6 for over 30000 km since the ECU has been re-mapped and had not problems. I also have other mods which worked fine as well.

One thing to bear in mind is that I live at 1750 m altitude and thus as all normally aspirated cars at this altitude I loose 16% of the power I would have at sea level, so most of my driving with the re-mapped ECU may have not stressed my any more than a standard S6 at sea level.

Check the re-mapping/exhaust system from AmD and Milltek for the S4, which I imagine would be feasible for an S6 or S8.
Milltel do have a exhaust system for the S6.

For example: According to MTM remapping or power upgrades are not available for S8.... What they do offer is exhaust systems and 298 km/h top speed. Shame.

Power increase is guite mimimal; max 380 hp.

On the other hand there´s always TURBO option....:confused:

There are other companies though that will do chip upgrades for S8 such as B&B of germany
