Mine is running well Nick - no rolling road for me but good service from AMD and really noticable improvement (still haven't done 4 hours driving so more to come)... There's a definite increase in boost but car feels somehow smoother too... like everyone says, feels like it should have come from...
Hehe that's funny Nick... would you believe AmD Surrey said they don't recommend rolling road checks anymore as they now see it as an uncessary risk with all the cooling required, risk of cars jumping off (!) etc. and that the ECU now measures everything and has all the safeguards and checks so...
I had my S3 Revo'd (Stage 1) last week and as part of the remap, some elements of the ECU are reset so the car has to re-learn various settings such as fuel octane, timing and other settings, some even relating to your individual driving style etc. AMD advised that you need about 4 hours of...
Nothing wrong with AMD's map as I think they're well respected in the industry. The only reasons I swayed to Revo's are:
1. You can switch it back to stock mapping with the select switch (or more detailed tuning with select-plus). To be fair to AMD - they did say they could switch it back to...
Simon at AMD Surrey was happy to match the Essex offer for me so I'm booked in for next week at his place! Cheers again Dan for all the help and bring on the power! :)
I'm in Dan but I'll probably call AMD today myself just to see if Surrey will match the same deal (as they should be the same company so what's the difference?). If not then I'm good to go to Essex - just need to factor in the extra cost of bringing the Mrs to Lakeside/Bluewater!!
Are you...
Yeah cheers again Dan - with that kind of insurance increase you must just be a whole lot younger than the rest of us old gits!
Any directions on next steps - do we just call Ben to book it in (I will also try and see if Simon at AMD Surrey can give us the same deal)? I'm hoping to get mine...
Cheers Dan,
I've just had my springs done too and Admiral charged me an extra £52 for Springs (<5cm) & Remap (11-25% power increase) together. I think a portion of the charge is a fixed admin fee so if you're planning several mods it's worth combining them into a single insurance update. I...
Carl from Revo has come back to us quickly but confirmed no group buys are available direct from Revo. We'd need to approach a specific dealer to see if they would consider it - problem then is we're probably all over the country. From this thread most of us signing up for this are in the...
In case they don't see this thread, I've just sent a PM to Carl & Kev from Revo who regularly visit the forum to see what group buy they would consider. Looks like we've got at least 5 interested and with a bit of extra pushing I'm sure we'll get more... I'll reply back as soon as I hear...
Is my S3 already mapped? I pulled some measurements of VCDS last night and in some cases the actual boost exceeds the specified boost but never much above 2000mbar.
Can anyone please confirm what peak boost is with a stock map or otherwise see my chart below?
Of course, even though...
Hey Nick,
I'm in the same position & have been chatting to AmD in Surrey this week. I'm still not sure but I've listed the differences for each below. Both are reputable maps for me and both can be customized to suit your particular driving style, so even with the AmD map Simon was offering...
Ok guys so it's down to the crunch this week for my S3...
1. Springs - I've got the H&R springs - can't believe I'm hesitating but just want to make sure there's no reason I shouldn't lower the car? Any one had any trouble over speed bumps, other grounding issues... fuel tank & exhuast look...
Yeah sunroof was (and still ia) an option with the S3. They're pretty rare and I know people say you don't need them these days with air-con/climate control but I've always loved them and so I spent months trying to find the right S3 with a sunroof - a must have for me but no option (dare I say...
Hi folks,
Sorry to bump this again but just checked with Damian and so far only 3 out of 6 have called with their details and (as is understandable) we need at least 5 people before he'll ship the springs.
So if you've not done so yet, pleeeeeeeeease honour your original commitment and...
I've called with my details and yeah, we have to wait until at least 5 have called before Damian will ship them (which is fair enough) so please get calling all! :)
cheers,
Pete.
Count me in too (we exchanged emails on Monday so hope I helped inititate this!). My biggest problem now is choosing whether to go for the ARBs or all important spacers (can't afford both) with the same order :)
cheers,
Pete.
