no problem, i think blue is the second strongest. Are you happy with the accelerator response etc?

The only S4 remap I have experienced is the AMD tuning, which was awesome from the passenger seat - ask Julesm

Short shifter is a must. I fitted "TOYGUY" only £80 fit it yourself with brilliant instructions and photo's.

As happy as I can be. I get the occasional hesitation. My Forge DVs are quite old now and I know that Forge has revised the design since. So I'm thinking about getting some new DVs anyway.

However I had a discussion with Mitch at REVO and I think we agree that the DV system on the S4 is actually quite basic and maybe it is not possible to perfect response. It is ironic that most of the engine is quite sophisticated, but instead of using electrically-operated DVs, Audi chose to use pneumatics!

thanks dippy. I was thinking of swapping mine out for some 710s to see if i could tell the difference seeing as they dont cost a lot. ill try changing the spring before trying a different DV
