Hi

Wonder if anyone can help

I have just bought a 99 s4 and want to get it remapped,

I was told yesterday that it has an early ecu and if they can remap it would only add 25bhp

I was hoping with a standard map it would go over the 300bhp

Can anyone hem
 
Find a different (ie better) tuner.

MRC, Unicorn Developments, Viper Tuning etc will all do a decent job and will see you over 300hp, depends where your located.

the last thing you want is some ****** generic map from some flash jockey with no clue what theyre doing.
 
Thanks Aragorn,I will be taking it to revo,which is closest to me
 
The problem with "revo" is they have hundreds of dealers. Some know what they're doing and will do you a decent job, others are morons without a clue that'll bang a flash on the car and fire you out the door.

There is no real difference between the early and late S4 ECU's in terms of capabilities. They're both equally tunable and the hardware on the car is identical, so coming up with some BS about earlier ecu means less power tells me they dont know what they're doing.
 
Hi Guys

Thanks for the advice, it gets even better, I was driving past this place today and they specialise in ECU remapping, and to be fair they had some extremely quick cars parked outside, so I go in and speak to the guy there, tel him what i got and can he remap it, he says to me, yes it is possiblem, errm but i wouldn't advise it,so i say why,

whats the mileage on the car, I say 70k, then he says ok that's not bad mileage but i wouldn't recommend it because its a highly strung engine already and there could be loads of things that could go wrong, and he would suggest just driving the car and enjoying it the way it is,

*** is he for real?
