Did you dyno it *before* you did the mods?

Not worth doing unless you can consistently run 93 AKI / 98 RON fuel.

I did not Dyno it before the mods. But it was completely factory . Is there going to be huge variances between completely factory stocked RS5s of the same model year? I imagine a point or 2 but nothing crazy, but what do I know.

I dont know what an AEC is . New to this world. Before this car all I ever did to my Jetta was rip out all the speakers and put in a custom system with a sub. Learning and having fun as I go with this one.

Thanks

You can't compare a Dyno sheet to the factory numbers for a couple reasons, you will need to Dyno with the unit unplugged and with it plugged in to be able to measure the gains.

% gain is all that matters in Dyno besides looking at the shape of the torque/hp curves

@Aeroboiler AEC = ABT Engine Control. i.e. the actual piggy back unit. I was trying to see where in your engine bay they actually installed it.

Or any pictures of the piggyback unit and/or the additional radiator would be helpful as well.

Looks like the third pic posted by him shows the ABT air to water intercooler already installed. I think it just replaces the stock one.

I am in Paris for a week now, drooling over all the cool Audis I see that we don't get in the states... . When im back ill grab some more pics. That radiator does not replace a factory one, its an additional one that gives the system an increase in overall capacity. I do not know what percentage or Gallons/ Liters of extra fluid are in the new system but I have noticed that in normal driving my temps are significantly cooler.

Thanks for the Dyno input, Yes I guess we can simply unplug it for the test and then plug it in to compare. Looking forward to doing that this summer also.

Thanks for the input .

@Aeroboiler I am also interested in getting the ABT Cooling Kit. Can you elaborate about ,,temps are significantly cooler"? Exactly by how much have they dropped? And why did you consider getting it in the first place?
