I'd forgotten what a pilfing effort the rear brakes are on the 6.
Nice buy though I think you're mad!

Intial findings....
Not as quick as mapped car of course, not far off though.
Not sure what "overboost" function does? Feels no different?
Won't be mapping it "yet" as warranty worries, can't be chewed arguing with Audi if anything goes wrong.
Much smoother with power delivery.
Road noise much better....Pirelli noise cancel tyres .
Wind noise better.
Sports exhaust poor after Milltek, although same amount of pops and crackles although they are very "tinny" compared with Milly.
Think il go down Mike Fish route of chopping out resonaters?
Unsprung mass of ceramics? You can deffo feel it's slightly lighter on its feet and over bumps not much rebound.
Ceramics!!!.....going to start a debate here BUT they feel soooo much more confidence inspiring than steels...you can feel bite and I finally feel as if I brake hard I ain't loosing millimetres of brake pad every time! Plus no dust! Bonus....should see me out with no maintenance or issues, win! Win!
Not a massive fan of the PE wheels to be fair...not dishy enough but I'm getting my Ispiris re done and they will be going in soon.
OEM wheels sit in arches far too much for me.
Ride feels so much better than my lowered car! To be expected of course...but I still feel il lower in time.
Only down side(and I didn't pick up until today) no reverse camera! No biggy really but miss it already.
Half alcantara is nice touch inside.
Seems screwed together better than my 2013 model.
Anyway....let the visual mods begin.
Cheers
