so divide 350 by 4 then time by 5

87.5 x 5 = 437.5 bhp (approx)

If the last owner talks bhp but has a blocked air filter I'd take his estimate with a pinch of salt

The last owner was me Andy - does that make a difference? The car was a genuine ~450 car given it's 1/4 mile time at GTI International. Hopefully the new air filter has sorted the car Max, sorry about that.

errr.....yes

especially knowing your 0-60 time at Inters 2007, I'd say 450+

N75 basically tries to get actual boost as close as possible to specified.
Never seen a duff one on an RS4 but on a 1.8T it would cause it to overboost the almost immediately hit protective limp, sounds similar to your problem.

Lol when threads backfire or at least comments!

It's slow that for a 0-60

Yeah mate me too - an oversight by me. No harm done though.

Collected my new car yesterday - a 2008 S3 - got to say I really like it. It will be getting breathed on by Doug very soon

Miss the RS but fancied a change and something newer. Looked at 2 996 turbo's but sensible head took over.

Interesting choice, I gather they are pretty quick once remapped and dare I say it could well run rings around an RS4 on sinuous road just a pity they look so tame though colour choice and spec is important. Good luck that.

Yeah they look tame but that's half the appeal. Wolf in sheeps clothing. 345bhp from map and exhaust. 25mm lowering springs and 19" wheels to help the look and I'll be well happy. 200kgs lighter than RS4 and 30mpg combined cycle. Really nice interior too. Handles great IMHO.

I used to think looking tame was good in Q car kind of way but I like the RS4s "don't even bother" presence - call it a mid-life crisis

I do appreciate the package though and in Sprint Blue is still looks striking.
I bet you are going for grey for ultimate stealth
