Thanks for watching, and a big thanks to M22 Detailing for providing this dual pulley A6 for today's video. It's crazy to see how much power the 3.0T is capable of. If you have any questions about the build, leave them here!

How does a stage 2 a6 compare to s4

[@leodelsoulofficial9963]

its not bro . i have a6 2017 a6 as well . am a truck driver. i weighted it just last night on the scale we use to weight our trailers and it weight 2300 pounds . its not even 3k pounds .

[@midasbeatz556]

copped a C7 A6 not long ago. this video got me hyped! can't wait to get my hp up to 500. never knew that could be achieved.

[@KevG]

Congrats that’s awesome. Good luck with the build!

[@hall2jc]

I have a b8.5 s5 which is single pulley apr stage 2. I have the crank pulley and heat exchanger sitting in my house waiting to be installed. Now I'm really excited.

[@KevG]

Beautiful!

Heyyy!! Yooper here man! I grew up around Negawnee, Ishpeming and Marquette! My grandfather lived and passed away in Gwinn and almost my entire family on my mother's side is buried in Gwinn as well! I subbed just because you're a Yooper too! SUPPPPP!!

[@BocaAtractivo82]

This vid review entices me more to tune my 2017 4M Q7 - waiting this year for APR's sale to have mine stage one or possibly having dual pulley done depending on available octane in my local

[@KevG]

Aye!!!! That’s awesome

[@terminal-velocity111]

Long story short, I purchased an import from Japan to the UK a 2016 A6 Avant with the 3.0 TFSI. I’ve now finished all the mods, stage 2 duel pulley and much more. It’s destroys Golf R’s, and anything that thinks it’s a stock A6 😂😂

[@alexburr36]

‘12 A6 190mm with the Gen 3 merc HX and a couple other things. Stage 2 034🤙🏻 Running a 3.80 on 235s😅

[@alexperez9459]

The exhaust sounds really good, what are the exact mods on the exhaust?

[@mikesiuda6048]

Michigander here. I recently purchased a 2018 A6 3.0t CREH. I flashed the IE stage 1 ECU and TCU tunes along with the IE cold air intake. Ran a 3.92 0-60, 7.82 1/8 mile and 12.19 1/4 mile. Going single pulley stage 2 (no dual pulley for this motor yet with IE) with a CTS Turbo heat exchanger upgrade. Running 93 I should be just below 500hp. With the e85 file, I'll be at 525hp.

[@KevG]

Dang! Some serious numbers. 👍🏼good luck with the build!

[@cammgt3rs370]

Place your my karrumba comment here.

[@cammgt3rs370]

The Creh C7s are heavier than earlier models 2013 and prior. And still crazy fast.

Hey man I know this is a old vid but I still liked it! Got a 15 S5 with 37k on it and getting ready to mod it going with 034 ecu and tcu with their CAI.

Beautiful! I got my S5 with similar mileage. Good luck with the build!

[@dannylettieri454]

Do you guys have a list of all this cars parts and a link where to purchase them? Which exhaust mods does he have on?

[@yanncatt]

I bought a 20009 A4 avant a few months ago and I think the engine is shot (Oil light//EPC warning bullshit) I'm thinking once my other daily goes I'm going to S4 swap it and do the dual pulley upgrade. Good idea?

[@davidlee5285]

Can you add what I need to get to stage 2 apr. -software and all.

[@ethanbenzekri6782]

Hey man looking at buying an a6 how is the reliability and where did he get that carbon interior it’s gassss

[@georgepapaioannou5115]

Muffler delete.....what does that look like exactly. Do you replace the muffler or resonator or what

[@OviWanKeno9i]

Oooh, how did they do bigger brakes? I'm interested. I also love the front end. Mine is APR stag 2 dual pulley +TCU too. I also have Bilstein PSS10 coilovers and they are a massive massive difference. It soaks up bumps better than stock, but stays super flat. is it seriously just a muffler delete?? No other exhaust upgrades (maybe it doesn't need it) I also saw an Efficiency option in the MMI that I don't have. I wonder what that's about!

[@KevG]

just muffler delete for the exhaust! Message M22Detailing on IG and I'm sure he can answer the brakes question!

[@cammgt3rs370]

You can buy S6 break off ebay for like $1000 front calipers and get the 400mm rotors and pads and install.

[@GunsandButterTV]

For The 3k in mods exactly what are they we need a list bro

[@simonbenn5340]

I own a 2017 audi A6 with about 550 hp. It's stage 2 duel pulley at a 100 octane tune. Does 0 to 60 in 3.3 seconds and a qt mile in 11.5 seconds. It destroys hellcats, m5, corvettes, mustangs, anything with rear wheel drive with get smashed or bussed hard from a light. A man's race not this beeping shit. Someone always complains when they lose.!! Have a flag man, Do it exactly on reaction time, now that's a race... I stand when I piss I hope you do too!! Lol 😆 🤣 obviously roll racing for girls that squat to piss... get my drift!! Dont be a pu$$y, do a man's race

Why boast about beating rwd lol . And your car is modded so I'm gonna assume you're one of those dudes that pull up on stock cars and talk shit if you win. Race a tuned xdrive 3 or 4 series and post the results.

[@tehgzizlauw1787]

Lol that rolling race bit is hilarious, but seriously though you daily the car with 100 octane tune?

[@rayshawnnarine29]

yo ik this vid was from 2 years ago but if you see this can you lmk how much you paid for the tune for the a6 3.0 that gives that much hp and if you could also the price for the other stuff you need for it to be reliable

[@KevG]

The APR tune is around $600, the supporting mods are really dependent on the brand you go with. Heat exchanger, intake, and pulleys will vary. Hope that’s helpful!

[@M22detailing]

Lol warch has the date on it guy.. hence the watch check

[@KevG]

I’m only jealous because my watch battery is dead on mine 🤦🏼‍♂️I wish mine told the right date

[@219klmp7]

hey man, i’m getting into an a6. what exactly are the power mods here to achieve this? i’d love to make 500hp

[@KevG]

This had an intake, heat exchanger, dual pulley, ECU and TCU tune for power mods

[@joebob3875]

I’m stuck between buying a 2.0t a4 allroad and doing stage III or buying the a6 3.0t and doing a duel pulley… I really love the design of the allroad and the fact that it’s a wagon makes it all the more hilarious and unsuspecting, but I feel like the more performance oriented choice here is the a6.

[@KevG]

I agree with everything you said! Really just preference at that point. Best of luck!

[@joebob3875]

Thanks man, really need some luck. Had a bad run with the last two cars I’ve owned, trans is going out on my 2.7t now so its only a matter of time before I make the decision for the next car!

[@shuckarelli]

What is the max you can overdrive this supercharger? I'm not interested in what the engine will handle I'm focusing strictly on the supercharger! It is no long on an audi but is sitting on a small V8! I'm looking for max boost

[@tehgzizlauw1787]

I remember reading somewhere that 25000 rpm is about the max that you can spin that supercharger. Don't quote me on that though

[@javiersolarte5779]

If this a 2016 how did he get the 2015 LED HEADLIGHTS INSTALLED? PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I AM TRYING TO BUY THOSE HEADLIGHTS FORNMY 2016 A6. THANK YOU. Also ask about what bigger brakes he went with?

[@tehgzizlauw1787]

It's not a 2016, look at 7:20 it's a pre-facelift model so it came with those headlights

[@Pallu420]

What size are his tips?

[@uygar2580]

Great launch time with 0-60mph. Is dual pulley setup and 92ish octane pump fuel will reliable for years ?

[@ctsvblk]

Go with smaller single pulley if you want better reliability

[@nikcamaj6740]

What are the wheel specs?

[@geraldstw]

Can the 4.2 v8 a6 be tuned? I asked my audi mechanic nearby and he said it's very limited

[@Todd.T]

Not a chance. You can only put a PES blower on it and it would be better and fasterto just buy another car with a 3.0T or 4.0TT.

[@cammgt3rs370]

I don't think this car is at 4300 lbs. I would like to see real world weight station measurements of this car's actual weight. Love this car.

[@nikcamaj6740]

Deff doesn’t feel that heavy when driving

[@anson_carter]

It is lol I had one but for real you can't tell because stock it's Lethal, I can only imagine how it feels now. That Quattro is a godsend 🙌. It makes no sense, the only time I feel the weight is in the corners sometimes, and when I'm breaking hard.

[@glenwoodard5349]

i have a A7 quattro 4100 lbs on the scales Anson is correct launches like a beast !

[@kdubbya]

I agree. My single pulley/ECU/TCU C7 is way too quick to be that heavy.

[@KevG]

So true

[@Disembodied]

whats the reliability feel like after however long its been in possession? Looking between S4, A5, and A6. Any insight? I'm sure youre aware of everyone telling me not to cuz of reliability issues lol

[@simonbenn5340]

S4 is ok, it's got no flywheel so it's jerking like a 5 speed. You can't go more then 450 tq on a duel clutch transmission. Get an A6 which is 200lbs heavier then an s4 but more goodies inside plus you can get the ZF8 transmission as an option of 2800$ vs 0$ for the duel clutch which cost 13k to replace. My car is an A6 that beats Stage 1 S6s!! A6 IS WAY BETTER THEN AN S4. S4 ARE FOR KIDS AND THE A6 IS PURE LUXURY FOR ADULTS THAT CAN STILL OUT RUN AN S4 WITH NO PROBLEMs like hellcats, m3, corvettes, mustangs!! Its a sleeper. But mine is all black!! Fastest car iv ever driven 525 tq and 550hp!! Its amazing how fast these things are
