Default C6 FI options

From experience whats the options. Looking for low maintenance setup, I;m guessing a procharger but are their any turbo or tt setups that are good. Dont want something that needs a lot of fabing up want something that bolts up and is ready to go. Other sc options welcome too, what dyno/track numbers are they seeing, for a A6, thanks

Procharger and headers will net you around 460-475 rwhp. Its a basic bolt-on installation. You'll be in the mid 11's.

Exotic Performance Plus has great prices and alot of knowledge!!!

I agree APS for turbo. Blown check the following:
ECS-NOVI
A&A-VORTECH
EPP-PROCHARGER
Kenne Bell is another choice. Good luck, Bob

Don't totally dismiss the idea of the STS TT system. Supposedly a top notch kit. Good luck!

Thanks again. I heard the sts kits usually take some modifying to work, paying that kind of money it'd be nice if it just bolted up how it was suppose to but i know there will be some things that dont always work out as well. This aps kit looks pretty impressive though

the aps kit is nice... not cheap though....

Tell him to go to NJ to ECS (East Coast Supercharging) they will get him in the high 500's to the wheels for less than 7k.

STS kit is easy to install, will save you from buying exhaust, and is very low maintainance. Its as good an option as the above mentioned.
