They built their own Bora I think it was. Got some pretty good power from it.

When I had my EVO 5 we had a lancer rolling road day, they were very helpful and seemed to know their stuff. Not sure how good they would be with the S4 though
BMW 540i
2018 GTR
F90 M5
X3MC
RS3 Saloon
RS7 FL best car I've owned. No faith in turbo oil screen (turbos failing) or sticking oil scraper ring causing missfires.
F10 M5 LCI still no rear grip lol
S7 black Edition Too big and heavy
S3 8V FL DSG 310ps, road noise is a joke
RS3 8P Rubbish
C7 RS6 Fantastic car but missed playing
GTR R35 800bhp, too extreme, crazy fast though
911 Turbo Remapped. Hated it
F10 M5, awesome but no rear grip
RS6 V10 700BHP crazy
Porsche Cayenne Turbo S 600bhp

Jim @ Starperformance knows the 2.7t very well by all accounts - I think Golich has used them in the past.

I had my A4 mapped them.

Jim definately knows his stuff.

I know my car is not a S4 but i havent had any bad experiences with them.

I would just call Jim and see what figures he says he thinks he will achieve. Assuming everything is running tip top on our car of course.

Cheers.

might just give them a call,, according to their web site they state 310brake,,
as for the job lot timing belt etc, may be a good option as i already have all the parts for the job ,..so it would be only labour

Yes if Barryrs4 is still here he went through a lot of greif with a n other tunner even too the car to Germany companys head quarters as it was not putting out the power that they clamed and they still couldn't get it right then he took it to Starperformance and got the problem solved that to me say's heeps never heard a bad word against them yet i would have no hestiation on taking my car there. Yes Golich has had a lot of dealing whith them when he had his S4 B5 and he has given them nothing but praise.
