Im sure the spec on Tims car was about 460bhp and full miltek exhaust and tanoga fitted dump valves uprated too.
The Red markings around the RS4 badge signifies that the car has been around the "Nordschlife" at Nurburgring.

A dyno should help confirm if and by how much the power is down. A boost guage would be handy too.

Have a word with TimJMS first, I think he had the RS4 revo'd and switched it back to standard 380bhp before the sale. So although it was running 450ish it'll be on 380 at the mo.

Easy to switch back, but if you drive it and it seems like only 380 then that's cos it is...

Car went in Friday morning 8am sharp to get a new front bumper fitted as garage had cracked the last one during removal to fit a new water pump.Also had the bendy alloys changed for hard ones.

Finally got the car back just before 6pm,and yes they have chipped the new bumper trying to fit it :bash:

Tim definately changed it back to standard settings before he sent it away, and kept the dongle. so yes it should be in stock mode 380. However I did notice on the dealers web page about a month ago that they were waiting confirmation from the previous owner (Tim) about engine upgrades. Did they get it touch at all Tim??
Too much is bad.
