ok, first dyno runs revealed some solid gains on all wheels +183 hp (+136kW) and +189Nm,

same dyno, same conditions, same shell V-power fuel, the car did not move from the rollers, the install, as you could see on pics was performed on the actual dyno, not that we planned it but it turned out there was no more room available
so the process was - last run, engine off, ECU out, SC slapped on, tuned ECU in, and couple of runs with similar results, no cheating, no low/high readings.

still waiting for the lighter pulley to arrive so I could have pretty much "the final" setup completed (for now at least)
will dyno elsewhere as well to confirm the final numbers

decided to go ahead and upgrade the stronic software (TCU) as well from German Motoring, to lift off the torque limits on high revs and speed up the shifts, should come through next week.

Looking fantastic
Cant wait for a video up of how she sounds and also of inside when you get on it. Want to get a sense of the supercharged whine if any

looks good all black. I thought it was a bit naff with the red/black stripey look.

Great dyno gains from the looks of it. Right in the ballpark of the APR TVSr1740. TTS/MRC, Aviva and JHM kits on the B7 RS4 make/ Looking forward to seeing the DSG make mincemeat of the acceleration records for the 4.2 FSI high revving platforms.

the gains are good, still on normal tune and regular pump petrol, there is way more on cranked up tune and higher octane petrol, for now we let it settle and let me get used to it

videos very soon, should be few over christmas, the car is loud there is no doubt (when opened up) but nicely loud, up until about 3500revs she is very civilised (for daily) and pretty much no whine but the game changes from 3500 revs, the simultaneously coming together whine and exhaust sound makes an awesome combination when stepped on ... (promised the videos soon)
