I still have the standard stock exhaust and cats and could probably get the tuner to put it back to the original mapping, but what do you say? They would probably say that on there test bed it produced the 414b...

Question - does the engine slacken off considerably releasing more BHP/torque?
As you get further miles under your belt with her, the engine does loosen up and you feel a big difference from 5000rpm+

RE: My S3 arrived at the dealers!

Hope you like it when you finally pick it up, i dont think i could wait that long if i knew the car was at the stealers!!

What spec have you gone for?

Just ordered one for the wife on Wednesday, being told that it should be arriving towards the end of May, hopefully it will arrive sooner.

After having my upgrade done this week, should the tmc be on all the time or just when sat nav is on?
Sometimes when the sat nav is on tmc doesnt always work is that normal?
