Very impressive runs mate.
With tiptronic in mine I can only hope to get low 14s or maybe just touch high 13s

To be honest i also found my old tuned a6 about 80-90% of the s4 b6 performance with a good blend between performance and economy and none of the drawbacks, however diesels are a little boring to drive unless you have 550-600 Nm of torque to play with ! Well done with that mate...Thanks Rick, To be honest I was expecting something like 13.6-13.7 with just over 100mph. I wanted something that would match a standard B8 S4 Avant with the fuel economy of a diesel and looks like thats what I have.
Have a few more small mods to make maybe get into the 13.2's .

The tiptronics are no different and require a change to 3rdThis is from a previous post.
Manual diesels not so good 0-60 as you can't do 60 in second as you can in most petrols so you need 2 gear changes but I would say it's some where in the low 5's 5.3 -5.4s if you get it right. Car isn't a lightweight it does weigh 1800Kg. A car with a DSG box would be a little quicker but I am not sure how it would handle 720Nm of torque.
Tweaked the suspension a bit yesterday by fitting the S-line Rear anti rol bar. This is the same as fitted to the S4/ S5 performance models. The SE standard one on mine is 19.7mm the thicker one 21.6mm .
Cheap enough off Ebay for £40.
Only 1.9mm thicker but with anti roll bars the roll resistance is equal to the diameter ^4.
So 19.7*19.7*19.7*19.7 = 150614
and 21.6 * 21.6* 21.6 * 21.6= 217678 217678 / 150613 = 1.45 so nearly 1.5 times stiffer.
seems to have improved turn in a bit and reduced understeer which is what it's supposed to do.

You probably already have the thicker bar. The option code for suspension on my car is 1BA and is the only one listed with the 19.7mm bar.
If you have 1BD , 1BE or 1BL then you will have the thicker bar.
man Karl u did it again first with ure B7 and now this haha ure sick man great work
i didn't know you could change the S and RS logo on the Informitant screen, do you remember how you did it?
