This is a question I find on all audi forums, I actually own both (Don't ask why) and I drive them very hard.
The big difference is in the turbo the 2.0 has a smaller turbo with provides instant boost but your car will hit a wall at 90 mph, this is the more japanese style of acceleration and it is very fun to drive on the streets, it being very responsive.....The 3.2 has a bigger turbo and thus suffers turbo lag which makes it less responsive but will not crap out over 5k rpm. So it you want something responsive and in my opinion more fun to drive go with the street friendly 2.0 if you want the car to hit the speedband later on get the 3.2.


Now if you don't know how a turbo works you might think its stupid for a smaller turbo to be more responsive so I will give a brief explanation
A turbo charger is a forced induction system which using a small ball or fluid bearing pushing more air into the cylinders allowing it to combust more gas. Now you would think a larger turbo would pump more air thus making it quiker and fast, you are 1/2 right. More air pumped into it will make it faster and capable of hanging at higher speed but a larger bearing takes longer to catch up to speed (around 1500 rpm) thus taking longer to get the air into the cylinder. The smaller bearing while pumping less air gets it in quiker.

Hope this helps


Btw the way last thing, apr tune your chip in your 2.0 makes it the same hp and torque as 3.2 anyways

 

The 3.2 has a turbo?

 

Pretty sure no turbo for the 3.2, so no lag.

 

The low end output of the 2.0T as compared to the 3.2 may not be very noticeable....it is in the higher end where you will see the 3.2 shine along with the sound of the engine. I went with the 2.0T because everything i read in these forums and in reviews stated that the " fun factor " of the 2.0T is very similiar to that of the 3.2 minus the extra cost.

 

There is no turbo on the 3.2. How you can possibly think it has a turbo when you own one is beyond me. It's a 6 cyl naturally aspirated engine.

 

this is a noobie question but is it possible to put a turbo in the 3.2?

 

I cant even find a freaking intake or exhaust for the 3.2 fsi engine so a turbo would be out of this world. I think he is confused because the 3.2 is not turbo , the new s4 is a 3.2 supercharged engine but not turbo and if it was turbo it would use a twin turbo setup not a single turbo.
