Newbie Looking At The S4

Post by rjwojcik » Thu Jan 02, 2014 1:38 am

Hi everyone :bigwave:

Been listening in for a while as looking at possibly getting a B8.5 S4 Avant, to replace our ageing 530D touring.

We currently also have a 135i which has been fettled by Birds (springs, dampers, ARBs, LSD, engine tune, exhaust) and that will stay.

However, am hoping to tweak the S4 as well. 8)

So first question... Would anyone know whether the B8.5 MRC map is available yet? :?:

Thanks in advance :)

I rang several times late last year & was told it would be available 'soon'.

Being impatient I ended up getting a stage 1 Revo, and have been really happy with it. Also have the SPS switch so can return to stock when needed :)

Revo and the s4 are a no no. Loads of yank users had massive problems with the revo software

Sign up to Audi revolution revo does not have a good name in the states with the b8. Loads of bad stories regarding the tune and just the company in general. Think there's an ongoing legal battle that's being kept hush hush also
