    Just bought a 2003 RS6

    I bought a 2003 RS6 in the Ebony pearl effect color. It has 57K miles and is stock. I'm super excited to get it and I'd love to start modding it but man parts are so expensive.

    I'm thinking the eurocharged tune and the tcu tune?

    Proven mods with good gains. Is this your daily driver, or can you spare it for a few days at a time?

    Nice!
    You should get all your mods done if/when it is in Seattle and then be done with it.

    this is one of the reasons why I went with Revo, the other is cost, MSRP for GIAC is $2000 (I'm a GIAC dealer and 35% off is still way more that I paid for the Revo flash) Plus, the PO gave me a great deal on the Revo flash.

    Hey guys thanks for all the greetings! This board is way better than the audi forums lol! It was dead over there.

    I think I'm going with the eurocharged and Hoppen in FLA, these are the most cost effective.

    Can you guys clarify things for me:

    TCU is under the passengers front seat foot area, I think I saw a DIY thread somewhere?

    ECU is under the hood, under towards the firewall of the car? I believe APR has a DIY thread, but the car they showed was a A6 2.7T. Are the ECU's in the same location?

    Thanks fellas!

    Pics are soon to follow. Dealer just put it on a boat to Alaska. Oh and it snowed again.
