I just got my car a few weeks ago. I feel like it does not pull anywhere as hard as it should, although there are times it feels faster then others. It's stock, and according to Audi records, the turbos were replaced about 1000 miles ago. Was hoping to find someone else with a stock car that will drive mine and perhaps let me ride in yours to see how they compare. I'm in the Danbury area but can drive within reason to meet up.

There were quite a few guys from CT, NYC, and NJ. In the last couple of years or so the board has changed a bit as members change cars and new guys come on...

We'll call them all up and tell them to get back in an S6 and hit me up 🤞

I have a 2014. I live in Fairfield. Both my turbos blew on Monday this week so it is at the local Audi dealer getting new turbos installed now.

Once I get it back (should be a couple more days) you can definitely compare. It did pull pretty hard before (I have had a few quick vehicles to compare to).

Thanks. Sucks about the turbos. Are you getting the RS7 turbos? How is the Fairfield dealer? I've used the Danbury dealership and they didn't address any of the stuff I brought it for the first time. Had to go to an independent shop to see why I had a misfire. Someone, before I got the car, put two different kind of spark plugs in it which caused the misfire.

I'm in the Danbury area but can drive within reason to meet up.I am not near you, but a stock s6 is SLOW. Lots of turbo lag. Underpowered. I refused to buy an s6 because of that reason until i read on here how to make it into a decent car.

Stage 2 tune it is just about right and will pull like you think it should. It varies with the heat in your engine. Too little heat it will limit redline, too much heat and it will soak. Very dependent on atmospheric pressure and temps, there is an optimum amount of cold heavy air that you can feel it really explode.

Go APR stage 2 with downpipes, the TCU tune, APR or AMS cooler (make the pulls more consistent and strong), and add Eurocode sway bars front and rear (soft front stiff rear setting) it fixes 90% of whats wrong with the car. If the turbos go again add rs7 turbos now you have a low 11s high 10s rocket ship.

The other 10% problem is stereo. Bose is terrible, c7 b&o not much better. Add aftermarket morel high end stereo components with high def streaming direct to PG8.8 dsp, add , will bypass the noise and compression of the head unit and the best sounding stereo ever.

Boom now you have as close as you can get to RS6, and best s6 ever.

No. Not getting RS7 turbos. If I were keeping the S6 I would have not not now. I have the extended warranty so it is only going to cost me the deductible.

I plan to post mine for sale here on the site soon (it is not big enough for my family anymore)
