A healthy car will have a lot more than 333ps, some are 350+. Whether that is seriously fast depends on what you are used to driving!
I read recently on another forum some bloke got 370 on the rollers stock! :wink:

I have a 333 BHp Volvo AWD which was then pushed it to 400+ later on with me custom tuning it (dyno'd the 330), and this is so much faster, sports diff, I had it flat out around a sweeping bend, normally I'd be pulling off by then with brown pants but I just nailed it and it went toward 157 mph.


perhaps it's the supercharger over turbo.


Yes heat and a crack in a coil pack will cause it to misfire, still could be an injector I guess or just needing plugs, I don't think it's been driven fast for a while, first owner certainly did, wen't though a set of tyres sharpish, lol. Second owner, at a guess bought a saloon then got a dog, saloon went.

Sounds like it's tuned. Stage 1 could be 410-440ish depending on where it was done.

I was ondering that but VMAX is sill there, odd for a tuner not to 0xFF that out or up it. What's the stock RPM limiter on a man?

Anyone logged stock load/maf values?

seems like there is a different limiter for dynamic mode, over-speed cuts injection immediately which could explain the intermittent misfire code as it fits (if it's tuned and someone doesn't know what a PID controller is), it does set a bit though but unsure if Vagcom would read that. I'll let them sort it as mentioned, interesting nevertheless.

Ive had B7 Rs4 and currently have a B8 S4 and a B8 RS4

If you can afford the B8 RS4 and arent a "manual" nut, do it. It is the complete car imo

As the B7 and B8 S4 are similar money if you want a special occasion motor, get the B7 but if you want a daily, the B8 is plenty quick, has massive tuning potential and is just a better... newer... Overall package than the B7

Imo and I may be alone, but that is my honest opinion
