I notice you are from the US and have an RS4

Not many of you guys about

Where did you import it from?

And how do you find it in comparison to the S4?
Can't beat a bit of boost!

I own a very modified S4 (as seen in the pages of European Car http://www.achtuning.com/ec.html ) It has RS4 turbos and lots of goodies [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] I've only driven my RS4 once. It has been in the importation process for 10 months. I can't really give too good of a comparison but I will say that the boost comes on much earlier in my S4 and that the only place the RS4 is more powerful is above 5k rpm. (they both dyno near 420HP)

If you want to bring an RS4 into the USA please contact me as I can be of assistance to you.

Hi Josh,

I was over in Denver with Stephen B yesterday when he had a conversation with you about importing an RS4 into the States. He asked me to say thanks for the advice and he'll be in touch.

I was interested in the mods that you've carried out on your S4 as I have invested in a similar upgrade myself - KO4's Milltek DP's, Porsche brakes etc.

Can you advise about the ECU upgrade - do you have a standard "one size fits all" upgrade for the KO4's, RS4 MAF/RS4 Airbox or is there a company over there in the States who can tune (alter ECU parameters) on the rolling road?
Interested to know because over here in the UK we have a tuner who can alter the ECU to tailor the power and torque curves to the engine attributes. Stephen runs an S4 with Milltek DP's and an OCT chip. Just thought for the altitude in his location there may be a better way to get a bit more power out.

Have him email me. I'd be glad to talk to him about tuning options for his RS4 turbos!! [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
