I'm just running it on the dyno for sh*ts and grins.

Wasn't trying to assume, just that as you mentioned, the 2.7Ts are good for some serious numbers. Last So Cal Audi Julian run, our group leader was a heavily modded 2.7T, and he did REAL good! Quick car that didn't have any trouble keeping up with the RS 6 boys.

Yeah, tiptronic is the weak link. Manual offers many more power options.

My car's set up is very similar to yours Bajo.
I finally decided to modify my car after 2 years of thinking.
I got my miltek+DV today, and going to stratmosphere next friday
for chip and tip chip. only 10-15min drive to there ^^
oh..no DP and high flow cat for me

You wouldn't, by any chance, be interested in SELLING your OEM exhaust, would you? If it's the sound-enhancing version, I might be interested.

A friend has this exhaust on his 2.7T allroad, and it sounds GREAT. Not as good as on the RS 6, obviously, but great nonetheless.

If he's not I am selling mine, PM me if he doesnt want to sell his.

You are fortunate to live close to them,
It is a great setup, even though I was bitching about installing the DP's they make the car sound awesome compared to just the cat back exhaust as I have had just that on my previous RS6.
Good luck and I know you will love it, I am still trying to get my car dyoned but work is kicking my butt these days and I cannot get away.

I haven't posted for a long, long time ... too busy enjoying my RS6.

37,000 miles ago I had Speedtechnik install the Milltek, OC.T ECU and Tip chips, DVs and Hodgekiss sway bars. I can report that the car has been extremely reliable and still drives like a dream. I melted the plugs once after two days at the track, but otherwise it's run like clockwork.

The mods were the best decision ever.

All the best,
Andy

Yes, I am selling my sound-enchanced exhaust. It came with the car and now my rs6 has 11.5k miles on her.
Miltek will be installed next tuesday on 25th. PM me for details.

Andy...what were the symptoms and or circumstances (ie oil, water temp, OAT etc) when you "melted the plugs"? How bad were they destroyed?

Interesting that you assumed that my car is modded.......It's not.

It's a bone-stock 2004 2.7T "S-line". Factory numbers are 265HP/280TQ versus the "normal" 2.7T numbers of 250HP/258TQ. Basically, this state of tune is the same as the original B5 S4 when released in Europe.

The engine, modded, can make 400+HP reliably, but the Tiptronic trans (wait!...an Audi trans that's marginal???? Can't BE!!!! ;-) ) can't take much more than about 310lb. ft. without jeopardizing long-term reliability.

I'm just running it on the dyno for sh*ts and grins. (and because I'll be there picking up the car with its brand new Zimmerman slotted rotors and Carbotech XP8 brake pads - and hoping they hold up at the track!)

Get the APR chip.. might as well. 318HP

My car dynoed at 280 crank hp, north of its rated 265, which was nice.

As I like attending ACNA driver's events, it's not actually more "powah" that I need, but better brakes and bigger sway bars.
