    After you take one ride in John's car it will be over. Start pinching lunch money now because this is the single most effective performance modification you can do to the RS6.

    Richer A/F ratios than stock. (stock tune is lean well over 13:1 a/f)
    Lower max EGT from stock. (stock tune runs too hot imho due to the a/f)
    Conservative boost levels. (remember we have x2 snails and a V8 under the hood)
    Moderate timing gains due mostly to the above. (timing can actually be advanced due to the a/f remapping)

    All add up to one fast beast. A happy Cosworth full of fuel and timing advance running 850 max EGT at the top of 3rd gear.

    And finally, "greenies need not apply" we are dumping more fuel into the beast to turn that into more power. Leave the green jobs for poop duty in the back yard.

    Took my beast to a friend who is an Audi nut, his jaw dropped , he couldn't believe the power. Even better on way home tonight I was followed by a B7 S4, all black....smoked him, then he just followed me. Came off the parkway, and at the light, he asked me, what tune is that? I sang eurocharge praise and had big smile

    After all these spontaneous customer endorsements, how can I not partake? I will eventually sign up for this tune, but will first have to sort out a couple DTCs and send the TCU to MTM before I pull the trigger on the EC tune. The other complication is that I already blew this christmas' budget (and part of next years' too) by upgrading a SACD transport and DAC in my stereo system. I'll have to talk to Bernanke and see if he can help me...

    It's flash device that eurocharge sales. Not expensive. Jerry sends a set up file, and code to activate device . Once handheld is set up, then u go and read ECU, about 15 minutes later bam, go inside hook USB and download file desktop. Then Jerry can send you and mod to flash via email, which u load into handheld via a program . Go outside hook up to car and voilą ECU is updated, ie gutted cats, DP, etc

    Questions re: the latest Eurocharged build:

    Can you flash back to stock program at will with this device?

    Is there/could there ever be a two-stage rev-limiter, like the mythical Marc "10secS4" tune that pulled 11 sec 1/4 mile times and sub 4 second 0-60s simply because it could effectively brake boost and get amazing hole shots...

    Yes, you can flash back to stock. I plan on using it dyno day. Flash vs stock

    This sounds great. Living in north central MN, there is a lot of diesel truck guys who have hand-held tuners that work this way. I understand the demand for the diesel programmers far outweigh the demand for a similar solution to our cars, but I have wondered why this hasn't happened in the last 7 years for the beast. Until now. I will have to talk with Jerry about this. I have sent my payment to him already for the tune.

    I can just see the neurons firing away in Chicago.

    Yes, the flashloader is the very latest in programming right from the motherland. Thus the term...Genius, genius. Vector, Victor.

    Jerry is bustin his tail to get us some excellent choices and new tech for these old beasts. It should be fun. I pity the fool with the new CTSV that pulls up next to my lead sled four ring monster. hehe
