I just spoke to mr Kerr about the s4 & he says they are good with a strong tunable engine..

Dont suppose he said which map he would opt for?

Been told to steer clear of Revo and APR on this and go with either MRC, Shark (only if Mikko is the man doing it) or Pendle Performance (if Martin is doing it) They will offer true bespoke maps with live logging

Why steer clear of revo or APR mate?

I drove the one that dyno'd at 470hp at SRR.

Feck me it was fast and scary fast in a very linear way that didn't feel fast until you looked at the speedo.

I would love one but not sure if my pockets are deep enough to run one.

not that bad on fuel Ian if you get a 12 plate onwards? Not like running a v8 surely

To be fair the car had just been on the dyno and my driving wasn't sympathetic with good fuel economy. 


Having run a V8 S6 as a daily there is no way it can be that bad.

I have one - its fantastic. 

Its like a GTI but bigger - Seriously.  I went from a mk5 GTI to a S3 then this.  The S4 has the same ability that the GTI had to be a mild mannered family wagon or a nutter depending on your mood.  The S3 was just dull.  Technically very good but no soul at all.



Over its first 4000 miles the average MPG is 27 mpg.  You can easily crack 30 on a longer journey with no town traffic and a bit of spireted driving will see low twenties.

Power delivery is very linear.  From a standing start the acceleration is brutal, but oddly it doesn't feel as fast if you put your foot down when rolling along - but the speedo moves plenty quick - it can be a shock sometimes to see how fast you're actually going.  Oh and the fart on upshift at full chat is mighty addictive.

Still keep an  eye on whats happening here from time to time

Wow...that's very nice
Is it remapped?

If I had the money I'd be getting one of these.

Have you guys watched this, 415hp S4 vs 275hp Cayman, With Chris Harris - /TUNED

[xjay1337]

I'd have the Cayman any day over the S4 Tbh.

I've decided in getting a 12-13plate s4 dsg saloon,booked my golfR into AKS to strip bk to standard...

Having a headache over who to choose for pulley & remap..either GIAC via Stattlers or Mrc...mrc quotes around 470-490ps for pulley & software(I really do think there Dyno is a bit generous)
Pulley & GIAC software quotes around 450bhp
Decisions decisions..

+1.

What a totally subtle and understated motor 
A great daily cruiser with some real surprise performance for junior supercars.

Good results from GIAC

Either will feel a bit slow compared to your nortech surely?
