that is 6.5% HP, but 14% torque increase which seems hard to grasp since displacement and comp ratio was unchanged...
if that torque number is accurate I would expect 7.5-7.8 range
if the HP is correct 8.0 - 8.2 range
Thanks Arthur! ;-) The figures quoted were taken from the MRC rolling road after it had been remapped.
Oh no now the RR debate on how reliable figures are

do you have the graphs?
Have to say I agree with Arthur - I got similar PS increase but this was matched by a similar increase in torque which is more to be expected.

Well the problem with showing the before and after pictures for this particular car was pointless because it was spotless to start with.

If someone has a RS4 that they know to be carboned up, then please let bring it in to us and we will happily run the Terraclean service on it FOC (final offer for one user only)

That way the owner of the vehicle can take before and after images, and let it be a totally independant test.

Any takers? Let me know.

I know silly quests but did you manage to see the valve stems and the back of the valves.
Inside the combustion chamber the fuel detergents do seem to keep it clean - it's the intake tract that's the issue.

I have some pictures now from Jags but none of the area that we're all interested in! I sent a picture back to Jags of my pre MRC carbon clean @22K miles showing the valve stem area where build up occurs but from what it appears they never documented it! - well to be fair maybe the mechanic might have a few more pics on his phone?!

Mine had done 4K since the CC so I was expecting something.... :|
