Diego at AMS found me a suitable 03' A6 six speed donor car at a great price. The car will be in mid week, and we can start working on the build. My plan so far is go with the Tial 605's, fueling, light weight fly wheel, IC's, possibly 2.8 heads, and IE Rods (depending on how far I want to push it). I've owned my A6 for over 4 years now and I'm ready to take it to the next level, that TIP trans has been on my list of "to do" swaps for some time now. I'm planning on getting everything done by spring time since I am in no hurry. Pics to come!

Heck of a build! Good luck man... those 2.8 heads/cams can get spendy to build (roughly $3k) and may not really be worth it in for the overall gains in performance. I don't think i'd do if I were to do my build over again. Just my $0.02!-Bryan

Thanx for the info, I was considering it since quite a few people have gone that route but I will reconsider. I'm not looking at going super crazy with this build since I'll be keeping the A6 as a DD but it would be great to pump out a nice 450hp on a daily basis.

As stated, if you are not looking to go crazy with the build, stick with the 2.7t heads, there is no disputing that with the more aggressive cams and bigger ports, you can make more top end power, but if you a sticking to a 605s turbo, you are not really going to be able to justify it.I don't think I care anymore

I am not sure what you will like more, the trans swap or the added pop form the bigger snails, kind of a toss up I would sayI don't think I care anymore

To tell you the truth I think the 6 speed swap is gonna be huge for me after driving a TIP for the last four years. I just have to make sure I choose the right clutch that can hold the power but not wear me out driving every day. Originally Posted by Mantis

We can keep that thread for some motivation VJ. After plenty of thought I changed my mind and decided to work the A6 to the balls.6 Speed--RS4 Clutch & Flywheel--Stage 2 APR 93 Oct.--Forge 007 DV's (black)--S-flo ITG Filter--4.2 Door Blades --RNS-E--APR Catback--Gutted DP's-- PSS9's

Considering what the car cost me 4 years ago, plus tax and interest it would probably cost me more to trade it for another car that I have no clue what has been through. I'm also getting a great deal for Te donor car and labor to do the six speed swap. Originally Posted by frazered

I'm jealous of the Tial's. A whole lot of turbo options have become available starting right after I went Stage 3.

Unfortunately I will only be doing the 6 speed swap for now, I'm currently in the process of opening a new business and can't mess around with the cars too much right now. Hopefully in about six months I'll be able to do the rest. Originally Posted by in2thenightaudi
