It's supercharged, two IC's to piss off Tyler
In developing its all-new 3.0L TFSI V-6, Audi opted to use a supercharger with two separate water-cooled intercoolers rather than returning to a twin-turbo design. “Audi engineers did extensive comparative testing and found our new TVS supercharger provided superior throttle response and low-end torque coveted by drivers,” notes Joao Faria, president of Eaton’s Powertrain and Specialty Controls Business. Additionally, when paired with direct injection, the TVS surpasses twin turbochargers in packaging, starting performance and responsiveness.”

Yes, chain is in the back and yes..the service interval for swapping the chain is never. The bigger potential issue is carbon build up on intake valves because it's direct injected. Pretty common issue happening with all DI motors.
The ones that had this issue were the V8 4.2's...the V6 cars never experienced this issue.Quote:

So catch-can?
I'm looking into it. Most of the A6 guys don't mod, so I need to look up what the S4/S6 guys are doing.
Already scoped out the calipers for the S6, found them pretty reasonably priced. 15 3/16" rotors.. mmmmm yummy
My buddy has a 2001 Audi something, I forget. Twin Turbo V6 and it has some weird lookin calibers, and the "internal" lug nuts. AKA lug bolts. They still doin that stuff?
I haven't pulled a wheel, but it appears from what I've found that yes.. studs ....
I've found that over time I actually prefer the lug bolts over lug nuts.Quote:

I find Euro cars to be more steps to work on, but better thought out.
Agreed...hence why I drive a Alfa Romeo.Quote:

Pretty sure Italy is part of Europe...and part of the cool part...like Ferrari.Quote:
