RE: NEW Wagner Tuning S4 SMIC

To add to the above, whats the air pressure difference vs stock. The IPP SMICs I had didnt have the best cooling capacity (vs RS4 and AWE), but did maintain the highest pressure of all the SMICs at the time, which I valued more in our climate.

RE: Charge Pressure Positive Deviation-remap prob?

So whats a normal and aggressive boost level for K03s out of interest? In my old S4 I had my K04s upto 28psi (but I capped them at 26), whats a B5 RS4 run at psi wise?

RE: Why no E85 tuned monsters?

Making ethanol isnt like making BioDiesel, it involves high pressure cookers or something along thoses lines. Surely some forecourt chain sells it though, what are all the Flexi fuels cars running on?

RE: Why no E85 tuned monsters?

When you say it becomes E70 in Winter... whats the other 30% made up of then? Even so, E70 would still have an octane of over 101. Diesel gets junk put in it in Winter too, that alone wouldnt worry me much. Just seems a shame the yanks are having so much fun and half of them hate it for political re...

RE: Why no E85 tuned monsters?

Here is the E85 Map: http://www.maxol.ie/maxol-bioethanol-e85.html There are plenty of stations dotted around, but most are nearer Dublin. One in Donegal, but thats a bit far west Id say! Only about half their Stations carry E85 at the moment. Considering how few genuine E85 cars are on the road, th...

Ok, rough size for package: 150cm x 70cm x 20cm, it may be cheaper to send it in 3 parcels. Presumably you need the weight - which I try to get a bit later. Cheers Grant try www.parcel2go.com they are very cheap and is done through DHL I use them all the time. Not a bad tip, assuming 35kg weight th...

Why no E85 tuned monsters?

When I had my S4 I had a Meth Water injection to lower engine temps and effectively increase Octane. Just about when I sold my car, E5 (99.2octane) and E85 (104 octane) became available, I planned for my next car to ditch the injection systems completely and use this uniquely performance orientated ...

The OEM RS6 exhaust is one piece, is this the Sound Enhanced version?
Is it from an Avant or Saloon and can you provide the measurements roughly, for postage purposes!

thanks
