Hi guys, have been a silent reader on the forum for sometime as I've had quite a few Audis in the past. I recently treated myself to an S4 (B8.5) - and it makes me think why did I not do it sooner .
The initial plan was to keep the car stock and then I started reading about tunes and many a threads here on the forum in detail and what a mistake . The plan therefore lasted only a few months and the car was eventually booked in for MRC Stage 2 along with the DSG remap. Like many before me have done I must also thank Doug and guys at MRC for all their effort - I had heard a lot about them before my visit and tbh, it didn't disappoint. And I am sure like many of us here I can't recommend them highly enough. Legends!
I also wanted to change the Exhaust at the same time as the tune but it looks like it will have to wait for a few months as I can't decide between Milltek Non-Res vs Valvesonic v Scorpion. Scorpion was the latest addition to the "wish list" after meeting @jaygemson who was also there for a health check on his B8 S4 and had the said exhaust fitted to his car.
The car was rapid before but my God the tune changes it to a completely different beast! Joining M40 from the Banbury exit, I have never been excited by any car before. Not that I have an exciting car history, but a tuned S4 unleashes the beast and brings the car to life - how it should come factory in first place. The car pulls and pulls and there is no stopping to it ... I believe it would take me a few weeks getting used to of the added power as it is a bit too much for me to handle .
