Hope you feel the same difference we did. Feels like a new car again.

How you getting on with your S4?
Still love it mate, looking into getting a map and pulley upgrade but apparently the ecu still needs to come out to map the facelift S4/S5 so am going to have a word with my local dealer to see what the warranty implications are.

I think APR do an ECU tune for the FL.
2014: 8V S3, Scirocco (mistake)
2013: B8 RS 5, 3.0T S5 coupe, B8 S5 cab - temp, B8 S4 avant
2011: 2.0T FL Octavia VRS
2010: 1.8T Octavia VRS

That's the reply I'm expecting. Audi of America approve the Stasis tune but I'm not sure if that's available over here.
