Hi Steve
Is there a release date for the 3.0 tdi 272ps remap or any info
Thanks
I think it's impressive performance from that remap, but also think that the S4 was sandbagged a bit... Everyone I've spoken to has found that the S4 is faster than stated figures but this saloon seems to be slower than the quoted figures somehow (0-62pmh is 4.7s stock so should be even less to 60)? My stock Avant is faster than this when measured with a V-box, for example.
I'm not putting down the actual product or performance gained, just that the comparison seems a little off is all. And that I look forward to the S4 software if that's the gains you manage out of the 2.0T. Just don't compare it to an RS6 and say it's faster once the software is released...
I imagine you left out the 30-70 for the S4 because it was faster?
Yes, well done with that tune. However neither car looks like it had an aggressive start - no LC used?
Less power .Less torque and heavier car .....! Didn't add up

I'm not interested in 0-62 figures as I feel they aren't what it is all about, it is the 30-70mph that is more like real world testing as suggested by Car_Allowance.
Is there anything for the 190ps engine?
These re-maps look great but what to say to your insurer? They generally want to punish these modifications hard?
Then what does Audi say when you need warranty work and they see you have been upping the engine output and putting additional stress on the car components? I think they can tell even if you remove the chip before seeing them.

Audi will know when the car has been remapped through a TD1 that gets generated http://www.revotechnik.com/support/sales/is-revo-software-undetectable
What is a concern is whether the DSG DL-382 can actually handle the torque as the maximum is 400Nm, from what I have learned from page 9 here https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjcw7WJ8fzXAhXRzKQKHeSzB-8QFgg-MAM&url=https://estore.ricardo.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/TNsep14.pdf&usg=AOvVaw1xs3kHqOC4-chz-e3U2QWh. This remap exceeds that.
That goes without saying, and I personally have had two remaps and one tuning box on different vehicles. So do you guys have information on the maximum torque the 2.0l petrol engine stronic gearbox can take? It has been a matter of great debate here and in other forums..As said, Revo do months of development and testing globally, much of which is on track and subjecting vehicles to far more abuse than they'd ever see in a life on the road, ensuring that our software will not have any adverse effect upon the mechanical components. And although they'll be able to take it, just because your vehicle is tuned, doesn't mean you have to drive it hard and abuse it 24/7.

The figures we use, are as we find, not taken from a brochure.
If you’ve vboxed the A4 why not use vbox figures for the S4?
Video doesn’t make sense tho when the b9s4 saloon times at 4.2s to 60 on a Vbox
It’s your video that makes a a big deal of the number StevenDoes it matter what the figures are, as those will always differ and open to many factors, as I've said it was to show how well the Revo'd Stage 1 A4 B9 goes and was a good way to show such when we had both cars on the runway. Both cars were standing start, LC used etc.
Not sure why it can't just be accepted that, yes that's cool the A4 has good legs on it, end of story.
As steve is saying, a good remap is not about numbers it is about drivability. The video is just illustrative because how else can you show a comparison between a perfomance car with that of remapped ordinary saloon..

I can see what the figure confusion is now, there are two different 0-60’s quoted, depending upon models.
