I guess the water-meth injection holds back knock so effectively that on a turbo engine you can run a level of boost that would need US 116 (our 122) to not knock/destroy itself ?
Oh I get it, I'm running an RS6 with a meth inject kit but the uplift on that claim just seems complete :dung:

The snow kit is absolutely <beep>, I ran it on my b7 and sold it on! Cheap nozzles etc had minimal control over injector spray so ended up flooding intakes! I paid a fortune for the 'specially'' designed 8 port kit 'specially' designed for the rs4...........

water/meth wont do anything for carbon have a mate that runs it, only benefit is in warm climates like SA, keeps intake temps nice and cool so the engine doesn't pull timing as much...
Otherwise wont do much...
As for the brakes still not sure why you went for Lambo Callipers when they the same... As I also remember reading that the 380mm disks will fit with the stock Rs4 calipers
to each there own I guess

The intake manifold spacers actually work, but wont make you add any power, just will slowdown heat soak from the engine block to the manifold. I noticed a difference when I had mine fitted when I had the GruppeM. In fact since having the airbox and cold air feed, iv noticed its even cooler (as expected really).

Im not a fan of those wheels I must admit.

Are they the OEM RS4 callipers painted to look like Lambo ones?

Lambo calipers are exactly the same as RS calipers...

Hi mate

I like to see anyone modding a car whether its to my taste or not,i fitted the new lights to mine,no tetango'ing bodge job and it looks miles better.

The brakes look mooooohassive so should look good fitted,i will be painting my calipers soon but only RS logo's will be going back on.

As for the wheels,what spec are they,ie size,et and width and what tyre size will you be running ? always good for future referance.

As for style,i hate the BLQ's just so played,atleast your going for dished which is some concilation,there are so many wheels but everyone just
keeps going rotiforms.



Bam as you get older you indeed do get funnier,you have to write a book or something for whenever people are taking life to serious :bowdown: :bowdown:

19x11 rear mounted on 275/35/19
19x10.5 front mounted on 265/35/19

They are the same caliper then the Gallardo got, with the Gallardo size front disc upgrade I decide to powder coat it lambo yellow because the contast will be nicer than the OEM black (almost invisible) caliper
