£3.5k is a lot to not get any kind of helpful after sales. This was why I stayed local. Davy at torque tronix did my SQ5 but trying to get hold of him was a nightmare, so I ended up at blackline.
Still, going over to the main land is still an expensive tune up when you weigh up the cost of boat, transporters etc. But if that's what you want to do who am I to say anything lol
Yea I'd be up for a Audi dyno day. Would love to see the numbers or lack of.
I've factory air so Gavin fitted the milltek air module which is IMO is every bit as good as a full £5+ air fitting.
Yea give me a shout could even meet you at Gavin's.

I'm on IG 'asianpandasi' 👍🏼

The rolling road day is going ahead. I've asked Marky if you'd need to pay a deposit via PayPal for a spot, we all did. Im waiting on him replying.
Did gavin map your gearbox when you got the tune?
I'm not on i.g unfortunately 😕
How much was the deposit and when was he thinking?

Gearbox I think is still standard, didn't see point in mapping it as I've no intention of tracking. He still needs to remove the rev and speed limiters. So will need to speak to him about those as he was meant to do it previously, again I'm in no rush.
Lol I've no FB

Wasn't aware of that??? But definitely having the rev limiter removed does help.
Can you keep me posted with rolling road day? I should be ok to get away that day.
Auto tune; are they in Ballymena?

I checked this site and they have lots of good options for an octane booster. I had to use one for mine last month https://www.czokbrand.com/blog/best-octane-booster/
That's a good read mate.

I came to a conclusion to refrain from using the octane booster and just run clean.
The Audi specialist I spoke to said that the only real issue with using octane booster is that you will need to change your plugs a lot sooner than usual; like 4000-5000 miles sooner.

I think these are great for Dyno and track days a like but now I think I'm happy to run on fuel alone.
