Very interesting, sure what we have here is a upgrade which would place the performance of the S5 very close to that of the RS4 and all for 850euros, a bargain.

Be interested in how it alters performance.

4% increase in Hp (not huge!)
8% increase in torque (more important)
for 1.5% increase over price of average car. (I'm sure Audi would want 2000 euro for this sort of increase if it were a factory option)

Any body else think the dyno graphs look a bit too linear on the website?

Anybody considering this mod.

Quite correct, but anything that has dyno figures attached I always take with a pinch of salt. ;)

The real proof in the pudding is the actual performance differences, it's the only thing that is important after all.

I kinda view it as an early indication of the performance potential of the S5 - Personally I'd wait till a more well known audi tuner like GIAC comes out with software. In the B7 4.2 they get about 20HP. Now here's the interesting part - MTM and Millitek are both working on exhaust products that have shown 20-25 HP for the 4.2 in the B7 so add that in and we're talking close to 400HP/380TQ from some bolt-ons. That would be nice! :revs:
