Two key questions:
1) How much further do you plan to go with your mods?
2) Are you willing to take the time to learn how to tune?

The predator is good if question 1 is basic bolt-ons and question 2 is no. If question 1 is a cam or forced induction and question 2 is yes, then I'd get tuning software instead.

Predator should work for you. You will have minimal performance mods so a canned tune should be fine. I'd look at what controls it has with regard to the A6 (e.g. shift points, shift firmness) and make sure it can make the adjustments you want for the tranny.

I haven't seen the intune, so I can't give any guidance on that.
