thoughts invited on chipping 3.0TDI......... ABT 300BHP??

in keeping with 20-30% increase, this car could have a significant increase.... or is this engine the same as the 233BHP seen in other audi's therefore limiting the remapping potential?

ABT suggest 280bhp and 550Nm for the TDI - awsome

As soon as the TDI A5 is available ABT will have performance enhancements.

For now ABT base figures on the existing 233bhp 3.0TDI which they can raise to 270bhp. ABT expect to deliver 280bhp from the A5 3.0TDI 240BHP engine with an impressive 550Nm exceeding that of the S5 quoted 440Nm.

This raises the question, when considering fuel economy, why choose the S5. For me at least, I am disapointed the TDI can not be purchased with the S5 livery, especially the upgraded brakes.

Yeah sorry the guys in the US will not be getting this car sooner.. But i figure there are a lot of European readers of audiworld too? I can't be the only one!
