Great to hear. I want to get the piggyback as well. How does it feel compared to stock? Any noticeable difference? Also, my big concern was the need to run on higher octane. Anything higher than 91 here is hard to come by unless it is a 10% ethanol 93. Appreciate your comments.

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

% 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.

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.

@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?
