dont get me wrong 350bhp would be excellent and well done to revo if its acheiveable. i hope it is, it would transform the car imho 8)

Revo? Beware of their maps. Some terrible stories from unsatisfied customers involving maps from Revo. SKN are good, did me right on my S4.

Shane, I see you have Revo. Did you go out in a grey S3 at Castle Combe at Audi Driver International? If so, glad to see you got your map done. I took someone out for a run outside the grounds, just wondered if it was you. If not apologies.

Milltek exhaust seems to really help open up the top end. If you want more from the car beyond the map and exhaust then get one of the fuel pump upgrades as this will add significant scope and maybe take the car to around 350bhp. APR and Autotech do these pump upgrades, and you strip down your existing pump so it is 'undetectable' of sorts.

As much as it costs a lot, well worth doing the full Milltek inc. downpipe to realise best benefit. I'm saving for it as we speak.

I've had APR stage 1 done at Awesome and that gives it 310bhp & 313ft/lbs with standard exhaust and intake. It makes a noticiable difference (especially with ESP off) but is still very smooth and driveable.

Looking to upgrade to APR fuel pump next which adds a little bhp at the top end but upto 20 - 25bhp in the mid-range where I use it most. After that will upgrade the intake and exhaust (turboback) ready for some Stage 2 shinanigans!!

Might give the credit card a rest for while after all that.....
