I'd say at least 35! If you went for the chrome plated chav specials that releases an extra 45 bhp!

How many torques do you think you got out of it?

It's difficult to judge but at this stage I would say at least an additional 300lbft (being conservative). You can feel it most in 2nd between 9 and 14,000 RPM, the best way to describe it is to imagine a 1991 Astra GSI (2.0 not the 1.8 of course) being dropped from the back of a Hercules at 20,000ft with a cocktail umbrella for a parachute and you will be pretty close.

In that case P_G, I think your best option is a trip to halfrauds for a shiny GTi badge. That should do the trick.

Completely de-badging gives you more torque. Fact.

Of course! All blues have more torque, especially Sepang.

You're wrong. More badges make it go faster. An RS Turbo badge will knock 1 second off your 0-60 time.
And there's no need for me to say what a V8 badge can add! Or even a V10 one.

Have you got a link? Do they do them for the RS4 and will i see similar gains?

It wouldn't be responsible of me to promote this any further; I can not and will not be held responsible for invalidating forum members insurance policies and warranties.

I'm note sure about this one - but I do know that those Astra GTEs were faster when they put the bigger battery in - you know - the one with the 16v badge?
