Has anyone any experience of Revo serial tuning with an RS6?
Comments welcome!

Martyn, we're currently (read: there's an RS6 in the workshop at present) working on transmission software to go alongside our performance software. As you are probably aware the gearboxes aren't always the smoothest with a standard car. We've experienced a couple of problems with the gearbox 'jumping' and 'clunking' with software on the car. Until we've completed a flashable Tip chip we have pulled the RS6 ECU software. As I say this is being worked on at the moment, so it shouldn't be that long!
Hi Dave,
IMHO it's a very good upgrade.
Just to remind myself, I put the car back into stock mode the other day and drove it for an afternoon, then back into performance.
I was beginning to get used to driving the car as it was and was almost thinking there was really not that much difference...but believe me there is!
Masses more mid-range grunt, the accelleration really is impressive from any revs in any gear.
I tend to drive my car in tip mode most of the time when "pressing on" as there are still a few hunts and shunts that will occur with the box in full auto, it's down to the massive torque increases I think.
In sport mode it's fine but that's hardly and "everday" mode is it?
Driving "normally" in full auto it's absolutely fine.
I love the fact that I can switch back to stock and that the dealer cannot "see" the coding, great for warranty
You know REVO will let you try the software before you buy?
They will load it and it then swithces itself out again after a set period.
Try that with AMD's soldered chip
Not that I'm saying the AMD upgrade isn't good, I've driven one and it is very good, but once it's done your warranty is potentially

Having been waiting for the release of the new RS4, I have come to the conclusion that I'm fed up with the waiting and soon to be old enough to own an RS6 instead (40 next month
).
As a result, a good friend kindly lent me an RS6 avant for the weekend in which we had 500 ish fab miles. My only criticism is that following traffic at 30 - 40 mph the gearbox insists on changing down which then adds engine braking - there does not appear to be any coasting.
Does the tip chip improve this at all or is it something I should live with?
Look forward to hearing on this.

Yes, the gearbox re-map works very well with the engine re-map & irons out some of the strange gearbox actions prior to re-map.
Can't speak for the REVO, as i have the AmD Stage 2, but i guess the results will be fairly similar.
