If you're only seeing 12 psi in 3rd you may have some other problem with your car. I had the APR code and 15-16 psi was typical in 3rd.

Look around for a used chipped ECU, not hard to find a GIAC for around $400, it runs a little more aggresively than APR's.

Default Eurocharged S4 tune

You can borrow the hand held Genius from Eurocharged (deposit required) and tune the vehicle over the phone with Jerry. You pay $500 and upgrades are free. Eurocharged Performance is killing it with the bi-turbo V8 tuning, best numbers on the market.

Seeing as how I cannot find a shred of info about Eurocharged on the multiple S4 forums that I watch, let alone info about performance and reliability on the 2.7T motor, I don't think I'd be volunteering my motor to be the guinea pig.

I will be having a dyno day in the next few weeks, and I will get you some more info.... Keep you eyes open for the B8 S4 tunes soon to be out. Pricing is right and the product is good. Eurocharged has decided to tap into the Audi market but Eurocharged is not new to tuning high end Euros....

Recent R8 tune:

Recent 599 tune:

Want to save a couple of bucks and get a sick 2.7t tune, just give them a call. I have Eurocharged a few A4s, VWs, RS6s, V10 S8s, and R8s and everybody seems to be very happy.

Are you kidding me? You obviously are new to the B5.

APR is possibly the least aggressive software known to man when it comes to B5.

EPL/VAST stage 1 software will be the best options. With EPL being the most aggressive and smooth IMO.

I'm happy with the MTM chip.
The boost pressure would be between 18-19 psi with this chip.

I have an apr tune and I hate it. I'm with you. I'm going to tune my car with ecux soon.. Easiest and most effective way I believe.
