Default This just in DMS software email

Hi Richard



Thanks for the enquiry. We spent most of last week finalising our work on the RS4. We increase power over the standard output by +26 BHP and the torque from 317 lb/ft to 340 lb/ft. We also remove the speed limiter. Cost £1200+vat.



Kind regards



Mike Cooper

Cool. Do you have to send in your ECU, or is it field-installable?

Default btw, I think the chip tuner you want to wait for is O.CT

IIRC, they had one of the better programs for the S4 V8, so their RS4 program is probably worth waiting for. I would also trust APR, but I haven't seen any indication that they're working on ANYTHING for the RS4.

Default going to see

all the software tuners start providing SW/HP upgrades for the RS4. however, 22-26 HP gains is pretty dismal. just proves that the RS4 is already tuned to a very high level, and not much room for improvement, IMO...other than the SC kits, if you're into meglomania.

Default 22-26 HP gains v. warranty, 22-26 HP gains v. warranty, 22-26 HP gains v. warranty.

Seems obvious.

Default yes it does, even 26HP gain is only 6% on top of 420, and experience tells us

that these HP claims are not always realized. could be throwing away the $'s for something you will hardly be able to feel, if it's even really there, IMO.
