Yes. Surely the ECU has adapted to the reduction in back pressure by now...
I'm amazed that someone hasn't done a dyno yet to confirm their claims of 20 hp. It is OK if it doesn't produce any power, it cerainly sounds amazing but I think some people want to see at least a small increase to help justify making the modification. For some, the sound is enough by itself. For others, additional power is the key reason and the sound is the bonus.

yeah, for every week milltek delays the system will lose 10hp. Fed up with waiting....
why dont they put out numbers? If they need help working with their website I can help. Maybe thats it. Theres 20 guys over at milltek that have the dyno sheets in their hand and they keep pounding them into a computer monitor...."daaah we cant get it in the 'puter."

Knowing milltek pretty welll.....
They don't post the UK dyno's for a reason. MY guess is they have been busy with the new building and have not had a chance to go out to the dyno. I wish they would have put a dyno in their new building... but thats just me. Plus no one believes the tuners anyways so someone who has the kit go dyno it. I don't see why people are scared to spend a little money to figure out if their car is making more power. Oh well just me.

So we're supposed to spend $4k just to find out? Nah
That's BS. If it has the goods, then they better get someone of repute to test it for them. There are plenty of auditors out there, find a way to get it done. At lease put out a claim for the rest of us to work on, even if its modest.
Saying nothing doesn't help their cause.

True.. It is interesting to note however
(tangentially) how little there is in the way of aftermarket mods for this car. Maybe its the limited edition nature, I dunno.
But in the European Sports Car magazine, you see all sorts of crazy stuff, like a M5 V10 put into a new 330i by Hartman (or whatever they're called)..
You see nothing of the sort for RS4, but maybe because it doesn't need it, I dunno. Its a very refined car and I doubt it would benefit from any body kits. Hard to improve near perfection in that sense.

He meant for those who've bought the system to dyno already.
Ideally before and after...so in essence, those who're planning on buying the milltek system to dyno just prior, and then again post install.
