I think Minhea (MRC) used to do all of the remaps for Kim Collins (QST) many years ago.

Highly recommended.

Oh please no, this isn't true!!!! I know Kim well and we get along very well, which is good in this business and doesn't happen very often, but I have never supplied him with remaps, he does MTM which are highly respected, including by us.

How is retirement?

I've used Kim at QST myself on a previous car, highly recommended.

They also have a Maha 4wd rolling road and are located in the South East. Good for me as not much else down this way!

The price quoted was for 3" decatted downpipes, Stage 2 Engine Remap and Stage 2 Gearbox Remap, including VAT and including Fitting.

I'd like to add my pennies worth ....

My RS6 had a stage 1 remap in June 2003 by Kim Collins at QST who represents MTM.

I used APS in Brackley for a Bilstein & Hodgkis anti roll bar installation in October 2008; they performed a good job and commented on the beauty & performance of my RS6.

Last week's visit to MTM in Germany to test drive a 730 bhp V10 RS6 confirmed for me that MTM are well experienced in the mechanics & management of Audi motor cars. I'd highly recommend QST & before anyone accuses me of any personal 'gain' .. I have nothing to do with QST !

Regarding my recent post "Remap trial" Rupert and myself in a few weeks are planning to meet up with a few forum members to have demonstrated the wonders of remapping and Millteks, at the moment we have been offered the services of a custom code and an MRC tuned car, so i am looking forward to the experience.
Also just to add my 4-penneth i think it is important to remember that having the most BHP doesn't mean you have the quickest or nicest car to drive. I have seen in motorbike tuning that guys go all out to obtain them last few ponies and to be left with an un-rideable peaky power delivery. I know the size of the engine and twin turbos mean RS6s should never be lacking in power or torque but it will be good to compare which map/exhaust combo gives the best results.

I have been to MRC and had a service and custom map from them on my B5 RS4. It has been by far the best service from an independent so far. I have not had a custom code map, but from reading and searching via t'internet IMO MRC is your best bet. Doug and co will look after you and cater for your needs

I prefer APS, Good customer service. Think they do the Sportec remap (similar to MTM I think). Got a sale on at the Mo too ! (Not related to me whatsoever)

Do APS do a custom or Generic map?

Post by **SteveG** » Fri Feb 06, 2009 6:43 pm

Not sure, but when I spoke to them they said that the process does involve tweaks of uploaded software over a few hours including driving. I was more interested in the R&D effort that went into the end product by Sportec, who also do Porsche mods etc...

Fairly basic questions here:

1. Does the car actually need to be physically present to do the stage 1 upgrade or can the ECU be sent to the tuner, or can a software upload be produced? (note i live in the Middle East where there are a few tuners who claim to be able to increase boost/remap but not sure if I trust them on an RS6) It would obviously be a generic upgrade like this, not custom.
2. Does the stage 1 remap alter the tranny ECU too or just the engine ECU, or does it depend on the tuner?

Cheers

Has anyone had any mapping done at AMD Technik?
