Lots of it is trust. Not so sure anyone should trust them that much. It’s way late and without house cars like giac had and APR had I think it’s going to be messy. Look at the hit and miss with revo and revo is bigger then uni ( I think)
The cool thing is there are people who are concerned they were just smart enough to leave AZ and they are here.
I’m getting real close to saying adios to audizine. Especially when folks start making these sorts of statements:
At this point I don’t know if these posters are:
Your not alone. It’s good to see more and more b8 S4 guys over here. With posts like that how do you even respond.
AZ is really bothering me, I do miss the old e90post forum but thanks to AR it’s all good. Let’s see when spring comes and we can hit the strip all together
LOL unfortunately, 90% of AZ posts are foolish.
Guys there are enthusiastic about their cars and are proud owners–these are plusses.
Buuuuuut the level of understanding and knowledge over there is sub par compared with many other forums (are most audi forums like that? lol), and the stuff that comes out of their mouths (keyboards!) is ludicrous. I had originally wanted to contribute on that forum but I’m not certain there can be any saving over there 
Perhaps Audi’s attract that sort of person HAHAHAHA.
that says it all
It’s good your over here. The smart guys start to come over and if you see someone worth saving many of us just send them a quick pm. The worst of it hasn’t even started for the B8 yet. Just wait till the cars get even cheaper. That’s when the real dumbfucks start to flock
At least there is little risk of the members coming off as condescending elitists given their purported lack of knowledge . . . . :-\
Ahhh hahaha. I was thinking the very same thing about myself as I was typing my previous comment.
But regardless, elitist or not, i think these two forums cater to people seeking different things. This is much more tech and development oriented–which is what i personally seek when joining a car community.
one can join the elitist pricks here at AR, or join the moronic pricks over at AZ. pick your poison XD

I have joined both to be informed and keep me grounded. 
AZ has just becoming mind numbing. There are plenty of good, knowledgeable guys over there but they seldom post anymore. Fortunately a good amount of them seem to have migrated over here.
Love how these guys have “dealers” all over, especially posting in the forums with average Joe user id’s… Yeah I’m sure their feedback is factual and honest… Wonder why Toni doesn’t crack down on them… It’s like the sciblades dude claimed he wasn’t a delaer :
So far we have sciblades, cbirgl, and vwauditek25… anyone else I’m missing?
It is odd that Solo and Unitronic came onto the scene roughly around the same time and in doing so the B8 S4 forum has become a Solo/Unitronic circle jerk.
No more GIAC and APR threads to be seen.
Oh man. Just saw the latest response on the fan topic.
I was hoping the unitronic tune would be better than that. …power curve on the upper rpm bands is identical to stock. It doesnt have a lift like revo/giac et al.
I posted this in the sky wagon thread. It sees people are excited over bring ignorance. Giac and APR have it figured out. It’s clearly proven. But with fake accounts from the B5 guys trying to push the zero results from solo other then nobody asking what about the past results of the other car that got hacked into a turbo nightmare it’s just empty posting. Then Unitronic at least Unitronic has had real results but none of them have been on the B8 S4. Right now the revo guys are trying to help revo figure out how to tune. Why people are to stupid to go with what’s been prove is beyond me. It shouldn’t m come as any surprise that the new b8 wantabee tuning company’s are going to give people deals and ask for buzz. They haven’t done anything yet or learned any lessons.
^I thought APR does not yet have it figured out for the B8.5. Did that change?
that’s funny as hell
any of these guys heard of performance testing? Every periodical on the planet and every car show ever does performance testing as part of their review process.
forums instead want dyno sheets lol (or in this case a butt dyno report from someone who got a free tune)
One day they’ll figure it out. I thought the B8 section DID have it figured out over there, but the smart guys all left AZ and came here. Now there’s nobody holding up the standard of proof, and dyno sellers are moving back in to the marketplace.
Funny how it happens.
At what point does it get tiring arguing with those guys? I’ve been contributing regularly to the B8 S4 section on AZ for about 1.5 years and over the last 6 months or so, 90% of the useful posters have left.
APR seems to have essentially abandoned the platform and GIAC easily sets the performance benchmark (on B8.5’s at least). The people who spend the time to research will realize this, the others will just pay for uncertainty and “flash at home”, whatever that eventually entails.
i agree with the above post, coming from the e92 platform were i gained a lot of tuning knowledge the only logical step was to pick GIAC. I knew there had some problem with the 2014MY but once it was solved i went ahead and cant be more happy.
Especially what i dont understand is people spending 3 - 4K on Tunes which are new to the scene i would understand if there were only 500 - 1000 or so.
Yeah it’s all about the dyno all of the sudden… Jconz can spend hours making dyno charts and posting but no time for the strip… I especially like this quote… basically he saying I need to get the dyno to read a better number so more people buy my tune… No dude go to the dragstrip and post a slip… If what you say is true you’ll run low 1.6x or high 1.5x 60’s and killer 1/8 mile times… But no, lets post more dyno’s… Not sure who in their right mind would buy from these guys…
“Actually the stage 2 pulls harder in the low end as well. I really need to put up a better dyno comparison that shows it. As noted in the op I rolled into the throttle a little late on the final revision.”
