Depends how the OE mapping is pegged back. They're only 276 in the Q7.

If they're restricted at 300 but it'll make say 320, it isn't too far a jump to 340 - all part of the VAG pecking order no doubt, what's an S4 as standard??
Sideways yo!

The S4 is 333 but is a supercharged 3.0TFSi V6 not a 3.6. The same engine in the A6 Lemans etc

The R36 engine is also in the Skoda Superb but only puts out 260 in that. So they are obviously detuning it. I just thought that the R36 engine was the Max VW did and everything else gets a slightly less power version. As you say pecking order
