Title: REMAP booked for Monday!
Post by: ianv5 on November 26, 2013, 08:06:24 pm
Although I have sold the golf, I thought I would stick around!

Have had my audi a4 avant  Quattro tsi for just over a week and have just booked it in for a stage 1 Revo map with Alex at aks for Monday:-)

Stock bhp 211. Stage 1 305bhp can't wait! :jumpmove:

Will report back if people interested?

Do you think that it will go up 90bhp with a remap ? An ED30 with a K04 only increases about 60bhp with a remap only - But then if AKS says it will give 300 then i am happy it will , but are you sure ?  :innocent:

If its true , one of those might go on my new car list  :happy2:

I must admit seems high to me but Revo website quotes 305bhp

I was looking at a golf r but then this came up and I was surprised at performance and tuning capability also price was alot less than an r!

Yeah the Revo site claims:

B8 Audi A4 2.0TSI
Stock: 211bhp 258lb/ft
Stage 1: 305bhp 348lb/ft

Fantastic increase, if it's not just claims... may want to budget for a clutch too, unless it's stronger in the B8 Audi's or your running DSG... either way I'm sure it will be fun on the way home. :happy2:

Awesome!  Must say, I didn't think they made that much, I won't lie, I went straight to Autotrader, lol.  Be great to hear what it makes and your thoughts on it. :happy2:

I think I have been quite lucky as most a4 avants are diesel, not many 2.0 tsi quattros for sale I think. Mine is a white sline with leather and panaromic sunroof. In the process of giving it a full detail. Will post in detailing section when done.

Here is a picture before I picked her up:

I believe the large bhp quoted on the stage 1 maps for this derivative is due to Audi having the variable valve lift tech available on this engine, seems to make quite a difference over the 'regular' 2.0Tsi and the remap obviously takes great advantage of it, great Q car!  :happy2:

Interesting thought --- so the Audi VVL TSI unit wasn't fitted to the rest of the VAG stable then?

Which Audi motors did it get plumbed into... TT / A3...? OR just A4, seems the motor to go for.

Is the Mk7 GTI not using it?

Apparently this engine has stronger internals and has the IHI turbo, not k03 or k04.

Might be wrong but is this not the same engine as in the S3 just detuned.

Like the idea of a 'q' car B-)

How did the remap go?, did it make 305bhp (or near that?).

Car had a stage 1 REVO map this morning, at Aks, initial impressions . jumpmove jumpmove jumpmove

On the drive back from Alex car felt awesome! Acceleration from 60mph is on a different planet and it is nice to actually hear the engine/exhaust making some noise.

Running on Tesco Momentum and Alex  reckons a couple of tanks with the new map and the ecu will have sorted itself and car will be running even better. don't have any before and after power curves but car tested on road and Alex reckons it is pushing some good figures.

Thanks Alex!!

Definite Cop car there mate... if that was hurling behind with 300+ ponies I'd think twice about booting it!

Driving home on the A14 towards Kettering the other night in the inside lane doing 70 and an Audi a3 flew passed me then suddenly slowed down and pulled in front of me, I was convinced he thought I was an unmarked police car so I slowed down a little and let him get away a bit, I then gave it some beans and he suddenly slowed down again as I followed him.

I then indicated to come off at Thrapston and I saw him speed up again!

I know this is wrong but it made me smile  :evilgrin:

^^^^ Been posted on here a few times, a real sleeper the S4 and Chris Harris's comments and reviews were one of the reasons why my brother mapped his B8 S4.
