MRC Tuning

[Noyjatat]

Does anyone know if MRC have done any tuning on a B8 RS4/RS5?

I think currently they only have map, filters and exhaust
Give Doug a call

Book it in Gaz, you know it makes sense.

Yeah, they've done a B8, saw it on their FB. Regardless, MRC is the place for any RS tuning.

Loving the quote, just had a stage 1+ on the C5, can't wait to drive her home with the new horse added

It was always where it was gong to be going as they did a great job on my RS4 (B7) was just interested to get some feedback on how the cars felt after and what sort of gains they made.

Sorry to drag a old post up but anybody give any updated info on the tuning of the b8?mainly a remap im interested in and what sort of figures it produces or is it just like the b7.

[Noyjatat]

Just like the B7. With a stage 2, carbon clean, filters and gearbox remap I got 460ps. Although it was a good gain from the 422ps it started at.

Does carbon cause as much of a power loss in the B8 as it does in the B7?

At the legendary AMD rolling road day a while back i believe graeme bought his new b8 and that made quoted figures.. So we are all hoping its "better" but afaik its still the same engine pretty much so i expect the same issues will be there

That is.. If you believe the coking really affects real world performance

[geordie jay]

Yeah i didnt relise it coked up like the b7.i was thinking of the b8 as my next car but if the tunning is restricted like the b7 maybe i should look at the 6 instead...does the 6 suffer from carbon issues aswell?

[S4WON]

No carbon issues on the 6 afaik, its the v8 FSI that has probs

[Noyjatat]

It happens a lot slower. Mine had around 40,000 on the clock when it went in and hadn't been cleaned and was still a lot better than my RS4 B7 was in half the mileage. But your better off with an S5/S4 with some MRC Tuning if you want performance on a non RS6 budget. Me I went for the RS5 because I love it's shape, I dont see many of them and wanted another V8 grumble car but the sacrifice was tuneability.
