Received the updated chip today and turns out that the updates don't require sending out the ECU, it was a DIY job.
Took out old chip and popped in the new one and went for a 100 mile test drive.
Before I was complaining about 1st and 2nd being the weakest gear and 4th being one of the strongest...totally opposite now.
1st and 2nd is like WOW!!!! What a night and day difference. The power is extremely linear now which wasn't the case with the fist version as the car was surging.
Old Rev. had most of the TQ coming in early close to 3K RPM but now it seems to be more like 3500RPM and 4th gear doesn't seem as strong, maybe because 1, 2 and 3 are much stronger now. I am totally excited now and realize this is how it should have been!
Bob of Stratmosphere worked with me from beginning to end...4 thumbs up to Bob and his crew - talk about GREAT customer service.
Today my buddy and I traded cars for 30 mins, he took my RS6 and I took his E55. After all said and done we both said the same thing to each other "man, your car is surely faster than mine". I couldn't believe he said that as I was pretty sure the E55 felt faster. The E55 will light up the tires like crazy, even on a rolling start the car jerked sideways...holy cow this car has some massive torque!
What my buddy LOVED about the RS6 was he said "your car drives like a sports car and mine still like a luxury car". This I agree 100% as the E55 is overly floaty and the brakes are too mushy for 8 Piston calipers.
