Hi all...I'm back!

Post by Alan » Sat Feb 07, 2015 2:18 pm

Doubt if any of you will remember me (maybe PhilT) but I was around here at the very beginning with my MTM S4 and B5 RS4 :beerchug:

Is Mr Hedgehog still around?

Anyway enough nostalgia...on Wednesday I am collecting, to be my daily hack, a lovely condition B7 RS4 Avant, Daytona Grey.
Car has done 76k but is in exceptional condition.
I will be booking it in with MRC as soon as I can get them to answer the phone :biggrin3: so for now my question is what sort of power can I expect from:
Full de-carbon
Milltek High Flow Sports Cats
Stage2 Manifold
Cold Air Intake
Stage 2 Remap
Am guessing at 450bhp ish?

Thanks all :bigwave: o

Welcome back. I seem to recall mr hedgehog in the RS3 forum.

Yes I think you are about right with those figures for those mods. Not much more to gain unless you go forced induction.

Don't miss out "John in Spain 2" :biggrin2:

Plus we had another troll who never actually owned an RS4 but kept posting comments about "his RS4" but when challenged was never able to say what colour it was, where he had it serviced, what DRC problems he had, etc... can't remember his handle at the moment :boohoo:

Hehehe life's full of Trolls unfortunately :bash:

Really looking forward to starting the "project", was sorely tempted to go balls out and get the full supercharged gear however thought that spending basically the same amount as I am to buy the car (19k) again was a little excessive.
450bhp in a lovely package (the car is pretty much immaculate considering it's done 76k miles) will do me for my daily.

Looking forward to lots of chat and banter with you fellas :thumbs:

Welcome back Alan. Sounds like you have some exciting plans ahead. Post some pictures up, we'd all love to see the new Avant. Oh and your previous B5's. :thumbs:

Welcome back mate.

Looking forward to seeing how you get on with the modifying as it sounds like a similar path to what I will be taking, albeit for me, over a longer period haha :-D
