Valium taken!
To be a bit more constructive I have spoken to a chap today at Jabba who claims to have done many of these kits. The earlier engines apparently make more power due to having slightly more aggressive cams?!? The chap was still quite confident in making 345BHP and 320ft/lb torque - which I think would still be lovely! The only catch is that there is a three month waiting list
Typical costs all in are £4k although they will supply the kit for just over £3k. Fit it yourself and get Amd to map it I presume...
My first question was really in relation to the usable power range of the AmD remap being very small (like driving a deisel). I have since spoken to AmD about this and they are hopefully going to have the car back in sometime soon.
Looking at their torque/power chart on the website it appears that it matches, the torque drops to well below 200ft lb before 6000rpm which makes the rest of the rev range useless.
I guess I should have studied these more closely before having the remap but AmD are only 15 miles away.
Is there anyone here who lives in the Oxfordshire area who has a 350bhp ish S3 and wouldn't mind taking me out in it?!?!
de
Mine never made it on to my S3 unfortunately, lack of time and effort, then came the RS.
Seriously, isn't that 2004 info you're looking at on the APR "UK" site? Was "coming soon" then... Jim at Awesome and Stephen from APR told me in person that it's not happening...
360bhp 342lb/t
