Hi all, had my 3L A6 estate for almost 2 years and I love it and have been thinking on how to make it faster, was looking at turbo kits they come in stage 1 and 2.

what would I need to upgrade in order to be able to put a stage 2 turbo in it to get the best out of it?

I plan on doing these upgrades over the next year bit by bit but not sure where to start. any advice or pointers are appreciated.
 
Normal upgrades you would expect are exhaust, intercooler(s) etc. You will run out of fuel system next which is injectors and the like. I've had a map on mine by Bobby at BSR Racing, he is a diesel guru and will probably be best to ask these questions to.

The limiting factor on these is the gearbox, they are capped at 500nm for the auto and about 450nm for the manual I think. But a good clutch is an option, just don't launch it hard.

My C6 RS6 had the same 6HP gearbox and that coped with 1000nm, but that gearbox was remapped so maybe an unmapped one can handle less torques?
