Speak to Keith at Dialynx if your really serious about going big.
If you want to down the RS6 hybrid road, he recommends some engine mods to go with it. Then it could get exciting :FIREdevil:

Also speak to MRC - I think they are doing some interesting experimentation with the S4 set-up (RS6 Hybrids etc). I think their prices are keen as well.

I'd leave the turbos til last.

and do the intercoolers first, then get the fuel pump + bigger injectors, and then get the turbos....finally remap to suit.

well thats actually what I am doing... :)

You should also think about brakes, suspension, oil cooling and lighting etc.....I know that is the boring stuff but ask a few of the big power boys if they would dare run on std brakes etc....!

If I were you and its just my opinion, I'd get a basic re-map initially and then do all the boring stuff before the big performance hitters like turbo's. At least that way you know everything else will take the extra power...

You can uprate the xenons from 35watt to 50watt and increase the brightness of the main beam. The Std main beam is absolutely crap IMO

Rob,

Can you elaborate on how to uprate the wattage, is it just a case of changing the bulbs or is there more?

Many Thanks

Paul

Info on uprated dipped lights on thread....

As for Main beam, I fitted full Xenons instead of HID's. By full I mean, ballasts and bulbs.
