took advantage of the current APR sale and had my RS4 ECU done today.

Increases power from 309 to 331kW (plus a few for the existing Milltek catback)

Its quicker of course, but most noticeable is the extra low-down torque, for example throttle response and acceleration in 3rd at around 50kph is much better and quite amazing

[gareth_oau]

a quick onboard youtube clip of the acceleration and you can also notice the reasonably swift JHM shortshifter in action

looks the goods, gareth!

i love that 4wd get-up-and-go.

[gareth_oau]

certainly saves on tyre wear, though I'm sure clutches might cost more.

The AWD is quite brilliant, even in wet weather, the wheels will only spin 1 or so revs

Is that you doing donuts in the GT-P?

[gareth_oau]

LOL no, thats a GT, and I respect my tyres (and clutch)

I'm getting some 100 cell milltek downpipes installed today, so took the car out to recording a soundbyte of the 'before' and will do an 'after' to compare.

Here's the 'before', with non-Res milltek catbacks
