403bhp/480 after the map, cc and deflap?

How does it feel? That's the main thing.

If I recall, your Noggy is low mileage isn't it? I wouldn't worry too much about the figure. From what I've seen, the bhp figure seems to rise a little with mileage (Albeit RS6MAN's results where amongst the highest seen and is c.30k miles, but full CAI, etc, etc). Cars over 100k miles and higher always seem to produce good numbers. What did Doug recommend?

Mate the difference is amazing,i know its never going to pack the punch of my old B5,
In sport is where you really notice the difference.
After talking to Doug,its a charger or turbos.
Maybe 1day :)
In the meantime i'm just going to enjoy,as its been the best of a month away having the work done.

Where does the difference in sport mode come from. Is it purely down to a more sensitive throttle or something else. I hear a lot of people say the sport mode is more fun after an MRC re-map. My car is off to MRC on Wednesday ahead of a re-map.

Much sharper throttle response

Doesn't sound like much of a change, but it makes a big difference to how the car drives.

The difference is really night and day in regards to the throttle response in sport mode. Its eagerness to go makes it feel like a 2 completely different cars.

One is a relaxed thourghbred ready to bring you the horizon.
The other is an excitable beast ready to smash through the horizon and keep on going. In all of the gears. I hope screaming "lets <beep> ave it".

Mine came back 466.2 and it does drive amazing.
Ive got mine up for sale after spending a small fotune on tuning it.
Im so badly wanting to get an f10 m5 or an e63 amg. But the e63 just look like taxies.
Everytime i drive the b7 i realize how much of a raw car it really is and why it definately will be a future icon.
Im just waiting for doug to get this turbo setup done so we can start turboing these animals.
