My B5 made 389BHP - all standard before any modification. So it was Plus 9BHP on expected.

From what I remember most of the others were spot on to expectations - so mine was a real exception (I always put it down to really careful running in!!!!)

Just to add my old B5 was also up over the 380bhp on AmD's RR when it was standard. And up a hell of a lot more by the time it was finished with!
RS4 B5. Where it all started.
RS6+ Never to be replaced.
Replaced by: 997 Turbo. Didn't like.
Replaced by RS6. I like(d).
Land Rover Defender. Not as nippy.
Back with C6 RS6
And again C7 RS6
