I'll go to spectate since RS is like 10 mins away and maybe it will help the mod bug bite again seeing some high powered cars.
Yes, stock power... There isn't really anything you can do power-wise on this engine. (I guess that is a good thing on a $20k+ engine ) As of right now, I am planning to be back on the 24th... Will lock something down once I am confident in that date.
Yeah APR does tune them but its not smart because of the way Audi is about modifications. They have a flag in the ecu that will set if you ever flash a new map and they routinely deny powertrain warranty claims because of it. The 5's are real sharp looking cars.
Actually, I have yet to see any dyno confirmed real power increases on the RS5, short of a SC (and APR has confirmed their SC for the RS5 has been shelved). The ECU upgrade they advertise is +8hp and needs 93. They claim a bit more if you run 100. Neither of which is readily available here... ...and seriously, $800 for 8hp?! Are dynos even that repeatable? Wait, what? This is a Subaru board...
I have plans in the evening that day but am really considering coming up to this and running on the dyno for grins. I have to find out if the in laws can watch my kids.
paid for dyno. gotta figure out my boost leak before this happens. anyone have an air compressor i can borrow?
Hey @idget , would it make more sense for the logos on the t-shirt to read left to right "MN > Subaru > logo/text", rather then right to left as the preview image shows?
Considering the dyno now to see how much the stage 2 tune I recently got is actually putting down. Feels almost like stock, except a lot louder =/ Will send PayPal within the next couple days to reserve a spot.
People would definitely be welcome to coordinate this themselves, I'm thinking the doors at RS will probably open a little before the 'official' start time of 10AM, something like 9:30 or 9:15, if people want to trickle in a bit early (and for those who want to dyno right at 10AM, as some people have requested).
I would like to grad some grub before, but also would like to be there early. Decisions decisions....
