No probs Al, like I said, will deffo be joining you - she ain't ready yet ( ) but soon...... Andiroo

That's a whopping 10% ..... but you're probably right Andiroo

Sorry David that should read 505bhp Andiroo

Hey guys, the answer is drilled discs with good quality pads, anything else is a compromise. Grooves or slot disc should only be offered on pre-cast discs as they are not physically suited to being drilled because of heat stress although I have to say they are still offered on the market...

Agree with all of Crafty points, my views exactly Running increased boost without specific mapping of fuel/air on a RR, or indeed on the road itself with diagnostic equipment that can change mapping real time, could possibly result in detonation or knocking at worst, flat spots if you're...

That about sums it up John The piston crown/skirt, and combustion chamber treatment seems to be particularly effective with ceramic treatment. Keeping as much of the heat inside the cylinder, rather than losing it through heat transfer, equals more power and less or no detonation - seems to...

....... at least I don't drink shandy thru a straw But seriously, that is the point I've been trying (badly) to make. Andiroo

Hey Tweaky, think you've got a good few points there mate You could indeed have a buffer that Audi have put in intentionally - just waiting there to be tapped into. I know the RS4 and RS6 were built with more power and then detuned for launch. Let's just hope the "chip only" tuners that we...

Spot on mate Just been busy with work and getting the car finished, sorry i haven't been in touch Andiroo

Again you've missed my point mate It is not so much maximising power and torque potential (which I agree some can do), but highlighting the mechanical problems associated with having just a "chip" and nothing else. Adding other ancilliary parts doesn't just maximise power, but also reduces...

OK I see we are talking predominantly about A3 1.8T's, so thanks for that Gambba My point is that this post started off on ECU tuning only - with no mention of additional tuning, this is why it is flawed. Increased boost and fuelling is fine as long as you take into account other issues like...

My personal view for what it's worth Leccy tuning ( Electric for you none Northerners ) or basic "chip" tuning is fundamentally flawed for several reasons without even going into "eeee I haven't told my insurance company - will I get stabbed on a dark night?" BTW this applies to all Leccy...
