Hi Bill,

They are absolutley nothing to do with us AmD Essex/AmD Tuning at all and are not to be associated with us in any way.

We only have two dealers/re-sellers which can be found here on our contacts page http://www.amdtuning.com/contact.cfm

I will confirm with you all about modded cars tomorrow and will also see if any upgrades are available.

Ben.

I have been involved with some of the usual suspects on here too regarding bombproof boxes and am genuinely interested in a 517Trans-style nuke-proof box as mine is right in the limit of the "torgues" that it can handle and I need MOAR, MOAR! The uprated box would have to be a bloody impressive design to get my business though.

Now if you guys could get an import-export uprated box exchange going with one of the expert yank slushbox upraters then we would be talking! I look forward to seeing your take on an uprated power box though :).

Thanks for thinking of us guys AMD Essex as fixing these boxes properly have been overlooked for too long by some other tuning houses ;). I don't want an uprated RS4 with a manual box, I want a lazy auto with more power than god, kthxbai.
Current:

23' C8 RS6 Vorsprung - 23' RS E-Tron GT Carbon Vorsprung

Gone:

"Brutus"- C5 RS6 Avant - MRC stage 2 - Milltek non-res + 100 cell cats - Wagner ICs - PSS9 - H&R ARBs - OZ Superturismo LM - C6 Custom brakes - HD RNS-E - Various other bits - 555PS/832Nm
"Taz"- C7 RS6 - MRC stage 2 745PS/1095Nm
12' Cayenne Turbo, B7 RS4, S3, Cupra R, XJR, EVO VII, STI8,5,2&WRX, 106 GTI&XSI, other crap.

Good call, if they can supply a fully sorted 517 box then I can't see anyone going any where else. Would need to be uprated box, verter and control block though.

Who do?
Fitted?
How is it that 1100Nm won't implode the box?

I could never spend £5,500 on my gearbox. I'd rather quit work and swap it out myself, flash gits. No, the normal £3.5k replacement jobbie will do me just fine, and even that will make me cry.
