I guess they are being tested, but not on shop cars.
Price for that install/clean/test service Arin? Sounds like a good way to do it. I mean even if it’s $2000, for someone spending $20,000 already, why not.
haha got it
or not tested…i.e. the 93 tune etc. Kryptonik was the test car. He thought he was a customer though lol.
I loved how AMD had this kit in development for a year on a customer’s car that didn’t move. Then they finally got it up and running, threw the customer’s car on the dyno and hit the dragstrip in his car and ran a VERY disappointing low 12 @ 120. They were talking about 12-13 PSI.
They then fired EPL and brought in United Motorsports and within 2 weeks, , talked about 15 PSI of boost, put the new UM tune on the customer’s car, took his car to the strip, ran 11.3 @ 125 and declared the kit READY FOR SALE! Further now that RS4per was kind enough to show us his boost gauge, they’re over 16 PSI of boost (16.3 we saw on his car), and frankly if we saw a full pull to redline I bet we’d see 17.
Anyone know when they tested the entirely new tune within that mess? Or how many miles they tested it? Still, this ‘thorough testing’ (lol) was enough for Kryptonk to lose his mind, and agree to buy the kit site unseen, and with ZERO testing done on a 93 octane east coast calibration. He was in fact, the test car.
Fucking hilarious. But we are haters. Actually no, shit-for-brains Jason@addictedtosucking. We are just consumers with our eyes wide open…and are watching a train wreck at AMviva.
I’m not exactly sure what the shop charges. If someone’s interested, they can call in and chat with them to get the full rundown.
Little to no driver skill? Sorry have you drove one? My gtr which is at the same sort of power levels I had my rs4 at is way harder to drive on the limit. Gtr is twitchier, feels a little nervous and if you push to hard it will bite back and put you in a hedge. I could drive my rs4 much faster than I can drive my gtr on the same roads in the same conditions. Go drive a gtr hard in slightly damp conditions and then drive a b7 tell me what car requires more skill from the driver.
Sakimano I tried to pm you had no luck
user problem?
I browse on tapatalk wouldn’t let me pm you?
Check now mate
I’ll clarify, I was truly speaking in straight line scenarios and street racing…the only things that the character above competes in. In fact he wouldn’t even need LC or anything because he has never raced anything from a dig yet.
I know this thread is getting derailed, but can you give us a good comparison considering you have owned one of the fastest RS4s and a GT-R. What is your opinion on the comment “Or for the same money get a bolt on gtr which is leagues nicer of a car and run into the 9s lol” ? I know they are different beasts entirely, but the way you make it sound is that the RS4 is truly a better all around car.
Pffftt very difficult. I think NOW that there’s tried and tested options for the rs4 it’s going to be cheaper and a better place to be in a charged rs4 over a gtr. My rs4 only cost me so much to mod because I tried three supercharger kits etc. my gtr runs 640ish hp so is at stock turbo limit give or take. I’ve done brake and suspension mods as well as the power ones and I’m about 12.5k down plus the 40k purchase price so 52.5k our money. Rs4 over here say 20-22k nets a good one then add your mods at about 15-20k. So that would mean the rs4 is leaving you 10k+ better off and for me is a better car as an all rounder. It can’t compete with my gtr performance wise not a chance my gtr is is deep in the 10’s all day. Stick me in my old rs4 around a track and I bet I’ll be just as quick if not quicker than myself in the gtr. I honestly don’t feel that confident in the gtr and I’ve had it nearly a year now, tracked it plenty of times also
Just to add, getting a 9 second gtr isn’t cheap. The gearbox is an extreme weak point, I blew my front casing into a million bits at a track event
…which was uttered by a retarded kid (3Litre-dickbeater) with a $5,000 car who has owned neither of the RS4 or GTR (and who will likely now show us his 4 modest stacks again lol)
