Thanks GeeT. When will you be picking up your Q5? The anticipation of tracking its shipping status must be getting more intense each day as it gets closer.

Just curious, are you running the APR K04 v2 map? There's some gains to be had if you're running that, and from where you're at now, all you need is new plugs (OEM NGK PFR7B @ 0.028 gap).

Also, what do you think of the Remus exhaust w/ the HFC?

Frost- I had the K04 91 Octane V2.0 installed, and replaced the plugs (NGK PFR7S8EG @ 0.032) and coils (OEM R8 coil pack) during the K04 install. Why do you recommend the NGK PFR7B?

As for the Remus exhaust with 034 Motorsports HFC, I honestly feel like it didn't deepen or change the tone of the Remus exhaust at all... maybe it increases turbo noise, but overall the exhaust sound seemed the same to me. And look at the graph before and after the HFC install... the power band is drastically smoother throughout the band after the HFC install, and the increase in HP and TRQ jump quite impressively.

But to answer the other part of that question, I am torn between the quiet 2.0 stock exhaust and the sporty Remus exhaust. On city streets if you’re a little heavy footed between lights it seems to exude a bit too much "sportiness" for my taste... luckily during cruise controlled freeway driving the 8speed transmission has the engine at 2k and the exhaust is very mild mannered. With that said, when Mr.Hyde is present (Jekyll and Hyde reference) he is absolutely crazy about the sporty sound that emanates when I decide to let loose the hounds under the hood... something about the sound really enhances the driving experience. I am happy with the inclusion of the Remus exhaust in my upgrade... but if I wouldn't have done the K04/HFC/FMIC and didn't have the increased power to back it, I would have switched back to stock personally.

Might've been the combo with the APR downpipe that I had that caused drone... as for the plug, that was the recommendation from APR's tech when I inquired.

I'm getting ready to go v2.0 also. Already have the intercooler, plugs, and coils.

And am already running hfc, exhaust, k04.

Glad to see a dyno run, but why are your HP/torque numbers so low? APR states 330hp on 93 octane with turbo, tune & exhaust. For just their v1.0 file.

Importhope

ThunderDent- The 330 is at the crank, not wheels. The thing I was most surprised about was the boost numbers (24psi) with the K04, which is pretty much maxing out the K04 from my understanding. APR would not disclose the boost readings for their dyno graphs when I inquired before I purchased... not sure if this will be staying on my car.
