Tuning Options

Post by rjwojcik » Tue Dec 26, 2017 10:15 pm

Probably a bit early but is there anything out there for the RS4 B9? I see MTM are developing something for the RS5:

Might be worthwhile putting up links here as and when solutions become available.

So ABT map changes it to 510bhp and 680Nm, but no mention of price
ABT upgrades don't change the Audi Warranty, right ?

Actually, I don't know... The link does not mention the UK.

I'm pretty sure you can buy ABT options through the UK dealer network, so should be covered under their warranty.
I'll be at the dealer next week, so I'll ask

Adding JF Automotive to the mix.

https://www.jfautomotive.co.uk/

http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/to ... ne.367914/

And I think we've deduced that the ABT upgrade is not covered by a warranty here in the UK.

Anyone heard from MRC yet?

I think the general consensus is that although the Audi warranty in Germany is unaffected by ABT upgrades, Audi UK thinks differently (regardless of what the dealer may tell you).... viewtopic.php?f=131&t=127943&p=880360&h ... ty#p880360

Not going to be simple remap.

ECU is new MG1 (New diesel is MD1 I think) that wont be cracked anytime soon (years??) intercooler set up look rubbish as well. Adding more than 4 psi is running into charge air heat issues.

Looks like piggyback is the only option for now. JB4 is the best bet.

on the plus side VAG and I am sure the new M5 (and other BMs) are all using the same ecu so the ECU tuning companies will all be hard at work cracking this ecu. Once cracked it should be easily available for all platforms sometime in 2022 :lol:

tuning options

1. JB4
2. change intercooler to huge front mount air/air looking at the car and the S4 should be easy enough
3. High flow CATs as no ecu tune mean engine light going cat less

the above should be around 530-550bhp

chuck in some big turbo and let the hugely capable MG1 ecu work out the flow difference should see some good results. I am sure 600bhp would not be that difficult if someone really wanted

I am sure the JB4 will be £400-500 and produce the same if not more power
