It's about 530bhp... Not sure of the torque figure because it wasn't Rolling Roaded... But it goes like a scalded cat... You can definitely feel the difference...:))

I have the same set up on my 997 turbo with sports cats and exhaust to make it sound more like the air cooled versions I have owned. However, in all honesty it was fast enough on UK roads without remapping!

After all that, I am still hankering after a B7 RS4 as they look and sound amazing!! The inlet manifold build up doesn't bother me too much especially after finding this Hydrogen cleaning system - I hope it does what it says on the tin.

The hydrogen cleaning process has been discussed on previous threads iirc... If you have it done please feed back your opinions. The members on here seemed a little dubious so it would be good to know your results (assuming you don't own the business being advertised) :bigblink:

Terraclean is different from this Hydrogen cleaning process. Qualified results would be interesting to read.

I can't see how injecting a small enough amount of hydrogen into the inlet manifold to avoid catastrophic detonation (hydrogen is VERY flammable) will have any significant effect on what is usually pretty solidly baked on carbon deposits.

We're dubious because many companies have made claims for carbon cleaning that just haven't been met in the real world, and which have no INDEPENDENT scientifically measured proof of their effectiveness.

The proof is in the real world, not in marketing hype...

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck...it's probably quackery.

The claims made by these "cleaning" companies do not stand up to the laws of basic chemistry.
B7 RS4 saloon Misano red, comfy seats, JHM tune & JHM full exhaust with cats and resonators - gone.
C5 RS6 Avant Daytona/Cognac - gone.
