Phil when you say 100 or 200 are you alking about the cats- i presume so. A milltek cat back does not include the cats (obviously) and if they are doing the 100 or 200 cells for 980 bucks, snap their arm off. a full millteck with 100 or 200 cells should be about 2.5k.......

MRC Stage 1+ (Engine plus gearbox is £650 IIRC, and Grizz's CC map is comparable. £1500 for the code looks pretty steep to me!

I have APR remap in my RS6 along with gearbox remap and I can tell you the car goes like *)&*(&P)(*)_*)_(*)*_(*. Totally different car when turned on. Rated at 380kw. Not too sure if that equates to 520BHP. Does it?

....when turned on....so you can decide on different settings ?? , is it undetectable , and what did you pay , if you dont mind me asking , 1500+ seems to be the rate

Looks like most of the tech info is at http://www.goapr.com/products/ecu_upgrade_rs6.html. Seems like 520HP is claimed

Price in the US is $2600 - I guess you have to ask the dealers over here for their price

Can you switch between programs? How would that work? Is it like the REVO thing that most of the yanks seem to use?

The ECU switching thing using the cruise control stalk sounds really good. I wonder why MRC don't offer it?
