Hi,

I'd like to up the power in my Avant.

I'm aware of APR and their tune but was wondering if there are others out there with a proven tune?

Doc, may be helpful if you had a more exact location listed

'West' could be anywhere :confused:

So for instance I live in Somerset and could recommend places only to find you're in the West of Scotland! :biglaugh:

As it happens I'm currently in San Francisco but during the week live on the West Coast of Wales.

Travelling is not an issue as I can work as far afield as central London and Durham.

Would prefer to have a drive in/out type of remap rather than the APR ECU out type.

Appreciate the input.

I'm afraid you'll need the ecu out regardless of which map you choose.

Chris, I honestly didn't know that and thought it was only facelifts onwards that required ECU out to remap?

Doc, these are the people that did my quad zausts and remap, £650 was the total and am guessing £300 was the remap price, but they did have my car for 2 days.

They've a branch in Swansea if any good for you?

PS: Am unsure why this is in the petrol section as thought A6's only came in 2.8/3.2 & 4.2 in petrol guise?

Yep facelifts only as the ecu is write protected through the obd.

Thanks for the confirmation regarding the ECU.

just to reiterate it's a 2010 A6 Avant petrol 3.0 supercharged.

I guess APR is my best bet.

My first post, having been registered a while...

I've got the same engine and have been looking into this too. There doesn't seem to be much choice, looks like APR, Revo and I also found AMD do one for a little less that the other two.

I'm still still undecided.
