    Looking for top RS6 tuners..

    I have a RS6 in Berkeley California at Griffin Motorwerkes. We are ready to start tuning. I am trying to find someone that has lots of experience tuning our cars.

    I am running upgraded new turbos (clipped wheels), 100% Methanol (Aquamist), Aces lV (gas treatment) and Aces lV-A (methanol treatment), FMU intake, Okada direct ignition coils COP, Wagner ICs. I also have a STE PPD display installed. Oh yeah, a 517 built transmission with MTM TCU. Loads of other bits and pieces for suspension and mounts.

    Just gathering experienced and accomplished tuners to contact. We are ready next week to start tuning.

    Thanks for any input. The fun part is finally about to begin!

    Viper, Eurocharged, 10SecS4 (Marc)...all seem to have solid track records.

    Sweet list of mods, should tune very well. Just make sure you have Ross-Tech software to confirm data and fine tune if needed.

    I've got mine tuned close to the max for my setup, but may have started to destroy the trans in 8 months with all the torque, be careful...

    Thanks lswing. What is ME7 fueling?

    The Eurocharged My Genius handheld programmer looks very interesting. Anyone using the handheld?

    Flashing software is all new to me. I come from the RX7 world where mostly full stand alone systems are used on big horsepower.

    Interested in 10SecS4's tune.

    The ME7 is the name of the ECU software basically, I'm just adding more fuel in using a simple program that accesses basic ECU settings. This is required because I have a Revo tune that only adjusts boost and timing, leading to a lean condition.

    Agree that Euro handheld looks like a nice option for adjusting.

    10Sec has the fastest drag time recorded with his tune, awfully tempting...I've never seen a data log though representing the safety of it, but it's been on some cars for years. Both Euro and Viper seem to be within safe bounds, and fast. APR is top notch, but $2k...

    Glad to see you're running the water meth, world of difference in the summer for preventing heat soak effects....

    I have been trying to get a hold of 10SecS4 for days. I now understand why 10SecS4 is not answering my PMs. His mailbox if full. Anyone know how to get his attention. I am ready to tune Tuesday..

    Thanks,
    Christopher

    Will you be running standard 91oct crap CA fuel? The Aces will help as will the meth but your still limited by that 91oct ethanol crap.

    I assume your running stock turbos with modified wheels? Stock fuel system?

    What about the exhaust? What downpipes?

    Your asking for a tall order on a box shelf tune. You really need a live road tune by someone with experience. That turbo change and more importantly the FMU will throw off any box stage tune from all the usual suspects.

    Drive the car up the guy in the PacNW that does the 6sp tunes. Or fly him down but that gets $$$

    91 CA crap. I can get 92 CA but they only sell it in bulk. I can't actually pull up and pump it.

    Clipped stock turbos, stock fuel system, Full Milltek exhaust.

    Yes, box tunes make no sense where I come from...built RX7. We go to the dyno and tune. Everything I read about these flash tunes sounds compromised.

    Who is this PacNW tuner? I will drive up for sure. I have felt uneasy about box tunes. Seems like you leave a lot on the table..

    The locals up in WA know him. AMD tuning I think? Good guy and does lots of RS6s up in that area. He has also solved the 6sp tune on these things.

    You are correct about box tune leaving things on the table.

    (not to hijack but maybe save you a few $$) If you are looking at Eurocharged I have Dimsport mygenius handheld for sale. You should still just need to purchase the tune from them. Its a pretty good option for going between stock/tuned.

    Thrillhouse, double check but Eurocharge told me that the Dimsport they sold me was VIN coded to my car and I couldn't use it on another one? When I launch it, it does come up with my VIN.

    My understanding is the tune itself is vin locked. The Dimsport should be able to load and unload whatever is on it. If course they would be the best source but it should still be a deal

    not sure if it works the same, but when i had a tuner on my truck it was only vin locked when you load a tune, if you put it back to stock you can use it on another, only up to 3 times though.

    Spoke to Jason Petek of Addict Motorsport Design today. I am going to get Griffin Motorwerke to work with Jason getting it flashed and running. Then drive up to Washington and have Jason finish the tune on his dyno.

    Thanks for the input. I will update later next month..
