I did some searching but I didn't see any before and after comparisons. I know every chip may be a little different, but what is the general 0-60 time difference? How about any other speed time differences like 40-70 or whatever? Does having a TCU chip also make a big difference in performance?
TCU will lock the converter faster - not much of a difference in 0-60 times (maybe a tenth), but better shifts and longer TC life. Most of what I have seen in a stock RS6 incuding mine, is around 5 to 5.3 0-60 times. An ECU upgrade can make a great deal of difference. Many chips seem to be in the 4.2 - 4.5 range for 0-60.Quote:

Does anyone have the APR ECU and TCU setup?
I have APR ECU/TCU setup in my car right now.
And the car came with OCT ECU/TCU. (which is both for sale)
I really could not tell much of a difference, other than the APR setup has no cat file on it, so now that I am catless again I do not have a check engine light on
Discovered this video of a Viper tuned RS6. Not sure what the specs are? But gives some idea of acceleration times for a mapped car.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wX6_JSKrCqU
I have the Viper tune coming, can't wait!Quote:

Ha, I saw that just as I clicked back to the main page after posting. Oh well. This thread subject has been covered dozens of times, I didn't feel any remorse for jacking it.Quote:

massive difference i get in terms of std mode vs 98 octane mode (which is our most premium fuel here) the diff in tourque is insane...gives you a nice instant headache! whooossssshhhhhhhhh

Because my ecu already had an existing flash, I opted to send my ecu to the U.K. rather than having Rich send me the flashloader just in case there were any issues trying to flash over the existing tune. I also opted for his tuned tcu (he's sending me a tuned tcu, and charged me a core until I send mine back).Quote:

Then Coornish car is one serious RS6. Full DP's and exhaust so it might perform just a little bit better then just a chipped beast.Quote:

I like the sound of the APR tune, both TCU and ECU, but hell it's expensive over here....
Will be sticking with Rich (Viper), he has a good reputation and my god his car is fast...... Without destroying it...
