What firm has already got a re-map option for the RS4?

Post by oilman4345 » Thu Oct 12, 2006 8:50 am

As above, I am just about to get my RS4 and will fit a Milltek. But if DMS,QST or anyone has a proven re-map I would be interested.

Ray West at WEST TUNING has already done quite a few B7 RS4's, he used my as the guinea pig, he got an extra 26 BHP and unlike DMS he provides you with a full R/R print out of before and after which I like as anyone can make claims that they cant back up (thats not a saying that DMS do that)!!!

DMS now have rolling road on new premises in Southampton, unlike Mr West, they don't make false claims, DMS claimed 520 bhp for 996 turbo upgrade, similar to Mr West, turns out West is 519, DMS version is 549, verified at independent rolling road..................

I hardly think Ray West is trying to have you over claiming false figures if he says he will get 520 BHP and you get 519 (on someone elses R/R)!!!!!!!!! A little harsh I would say.

How well do you know DMS, me thinks you are very good friends with them!!!! No disrespect meant earlier ref DMS, not heard anything bad about them.

Ref the exhaust ............ Dont do it. Miltek are over priced and overrated. Go for a custom setup = more power :thumbs:

Can you please give me details regarding custom RS4 Exhausts. This may well be of interest, thanks.

Obviously you have never dealt with them, suggest you keep your comments to yourself in that case, making generalised comments which are unfounded has a habbit of coming back and biting you in the arse!

DMS rolling roading customers cars?

Have they had a bump to the head or been taken over??

Had numerous conversations with, I think Rob, a year or so back. He couldn't have been more anti RRs if he tried, had various reasons and refused point blank to allow my car on his RR which was "only for developement".

Despite the good press I had a quite opposite experieince power wise with DMS on my Merc, but true to their word I got a refund.

Djcevo, I've used DMS for several vehicles and found them superb, speak to Mike.

Don't worry about this 'simple' fella, seems very aggressive and opiniated...was with me when I dared bring up a pertinant thread re residual value on the RS4.

Ah look, the simple fella returns, and with news... and I quote from DMS who as we all agree, are decent fellows:

What the guy has got completely wrong is that we have always identified the dyno as an essential part of product development but we have in the past and still advocate it is not essential on every customer car you do.

Comes from Mike Cooper and should hopefully put this to bed. As for my attitiude Mr Robbo66, I think you will find this is a forum, where we encourage opinions and views, but they need to be informed rather than repeating quotes from another site , which you did, and with no base. Ding Ding round three.........

other than just an exhaust, that can be made anywhere, what sort of computer enhancements are out there on the market.
