DMS did mine, and the results are AWESOME. Can't believe the difference. Definitely glad I did it!!!

I used DMS for remap's on my 535D M-Sport, E60 M5 & my B7 RS4. Can not recommend them enough.

Organised a group buy a couple of years back for RS246.com so if you mention that they may still honour & that could save you a few hundred, although it was for B7 RS4's.

Mine is mapped by MRC, went with them as had seen some of their results on C6's and wanted proven track record (multiple Gold Award winners for Audi tuning).

T2FOO drove mine and did same, both our cars are in the current edition of Audi Driver Mag after putting out well into the 700PS's at the SRS/MRC weekend. Car has been faultless in every respect to date.

What Nudenut said.

All

Thanks for responses.

What was the hike in insurance post mapping?

Cheers

Serge

I use Admiral (multi car) they have brackets on power inrease from mapping/chipping one being up to 25% power gain, then + Exhaust + Filters... I was pleasently supprised!!

Run your details through online quote with/without to get a figure.

Took a day off work and had an enjoyable drive down to Southampton to visit the chaps at DMS.

Met Mike, Rob and Darren. All really nice guys, friendy, approachable, very knowledgeable and let me help myself to tea.

They had many callers and jobs on the go from turbo upgrades to rolling road checks to broken waste gate problems and somehow managed to satisfy everyones needs with a smile and an interesting story or two.

Down to business. From my earlier entry you can see I already have miltek exhaust. So just wanted the ecu mapping to release the horses and tongues and derestrict. Rob kept me informed all the way through the
process and was allowed to observe the action in the workshop.

Remap done and a test drive from Darren, he stepped out the car and just said that's quick ! I took it out for a spin whilst an e-class Amg was coming off the rolling road. OMG - before putting in gear, the throttle response was instantaneous. Also the pick up is increased significantly. I was actually lifting off the throttle to slow down. I could instantly tell the difference and this was without pushing the car at all. Did not get to floor it on the test run as too much traffic but could tell it was chomping at the bit. It feels like the car has shed some weight (something I should learn from!).

Got it on the rolling road, having to safely strap it in at front and back. Big 55mph fan blowing at the front. Exhaust sucker at the back. Time to press the loud pedal. Well I cannot describe the noise from the car as it hit over 130 mph on the machine, sounding like a jet engine, unbelievable. Rob explained that 4 wheel drive cars are a little uncomfortable at hi speed on the rolling road at the point where you are reaching the desired peak power and then lift off the gas, it keep trying to leap forward then squirms when the power goes. Must admit it was quite an experience for a first timer. Anyway, unstrapped from the machine. Time to pay up and enjoy the journey home. I will get the stats from them and advise soon

I got the opportunity to stretch it's legs on the drive home and I am SO happy with the output form their labours. Obviously no big top end speed run on our highways but my speed warning beeps came up a lot quicker than before. The acceleration, power and lighter weight feeling is amazing, I cannot stress this enough and the car is as smooth and free as before.

I thoroughly recommend a visit to DMS. There is a warm welcome and you get what is says on the tin !!!!

If anyone wants a test drive to compare, I am in south east London/Kent borders. Pls pm me.

Cheers Serge

Sounds like you had fun Serge, good stuff!!

Spill the beans, Power figures were ??
