Very impressive. Drop those performance specs and how much everything cost it would be interesting to look this all over

#3

I’ve never been on a dyno…only the strip.

Stage 2 APR 93 tune (in great DA) was 13.59@99
K04 APR 93 tune (in decent DA) is currently 13.18@104.5

RE: Cost…not going to happen …I don’t even want to know what this adds up to :o

I’m just an Avant fan and like the new tech in the B8. The S4 would easily have been the better performance choice but I would rather have this body style and struggle into 12’s on pump :slight_smile:

#4

It’s your only choice for an avant.

Although we may see the 3.0TDI allroad provide some performance competition here shortly.

#5

That would surprise me. The AR isn’t selling very well.

#6

Well sorted car! Some great times run and some real nerd porn over on his AZ thread about the MMI swap too. Did you ever get the cellular internet working on your one cory?

PS obligatory “OMG there’s a B8 A4 section?!?!?” comment lol :wink:

#7

BOOO bango. Not nice. Be nice to us B8 A4 owners.

#8

I always forget you also have a b8 s4. You should do a head to head stock vs k04 1/4 mile race.

But I promise to be nice to you guys from now on. Turbo4revolution.com

#9

Saki finally gave in and got a b8 s4?!?!

Jk lol

Karma bump for u and saki for a funny mistake lol

#10

Thanks man.

Yes, the entire MMI upgrade project was eventually a success but for those of you considering swapping 2G MMI to 3G+ MMI…my best advice is don’t ;D It was a tedious project and I had to break ground on much of it. The local (and probably world) expert on the B8 platform (DavidB8) was incredibly helpful and I couldn’t have done it without his assistance.

In the end…it’s cool as shit!!

Went to the strip tonight.

Best ET 13.01@104.85. Best trap 13.08@106.32.

On my last (partial) run I blew a baseball sized hole through my downpipe. Needless to say it was a loonnggg hour drive home at 10:00PM :slight_smile:

#17

that is an impressive time.

I saw your other post. the CV trans tune will get you into the 12 second range added to your APR tune

But all that said. HOW DID YOU GET A BASEBALL SIZED HOLE in your dp

#18

^ no clue…I was about 200’ down the track and my ear drums almost popped inside my helmet. Crazy loud!
