BiTDI booked in for a remap with MCR

[fusion1966]

Took the plunge a few weeks ago and purchased my Avant.

had to sell my 6 month old Porsche Macan due to loss of business and being put on a 4 day week in my new job but still wanted a car with a bit of poke

ive had the c7 RS6 Avant a few years ago so obviously not expecting the tune to give me anywhere near the same performance however just wanted forum member’s opinion on a remap and what I can expect in terms of real world performance?

ive been informed I should see around 370-380ps and 750-780nm, this is with a custom tune and gearbox remap. That torque figure, I imagine will make a massive difference, the ps increase isn’t half bad ether!

finally, for those of you that have had a remap how much have your insurance premiums gone up by on average?

cheers in advance
Bryan

Links? There is the MRC web site if that helps? Rolling road to map the car and gear box with a custom map, not much more to say

ill let you know what increase I get once I’ve attended the appointment and also how the car feels when I drive it

i meant MRC

Hi. I’d be interested in the results. I had a chat with Chris at CM tuning at Leeds who is an MRC approved tuner and he said they had seen 390ps on standard components. I think I would go intercooler also to keep temps down. Also didn’t know there was a gearbox remap available. Thought it was just the S Tronic that could be mapped.

Living inside the M25 with outrageous insurance premiums, my existing insurer will kick me out with anything more than a 10% power hike. So I will keep my car standard - especially as it has an Audi Approved Used warranty for the next year.

I ride a smallish motorcycle which will do 0-90 mph in 6 seconds and find that the standard car has more than enough poke for my needs. From what I have read - up to 90 mph it as quick as a V10 S6. so with more power it should be as quick as an RS6. I will be interested to read how you find the throttle response after the remap.

Hi Bazza I’m not technical so can’t comment on your gearbox observation.

it’s on the quote I received from MRC so maybe worth you speaking to the guys in Banbury yourself directly to find out more about it?

ill ask for my dyno charts when it’s all done and will asked about the gearbox tune before I pay for it if it’s not possible. If it is not a mistake with my quote I will let you know what they do and what it does when I speak to them

Hi John,

well I’ve had the c7 RS6 so should be able to provide a real world comparison once it’s been done

im not expecting that type of performance and I’m hoping the gearbox remap will make the car more responsive as I find the gearing a little lazy and there seems to be a slight delay when I put my foot down

Well had my session today with MRC and very pleased with the results.

i was also surprised that my stock engine made 340ps and 662 torque on the first dyno run before tune

it made 390ps and 762 torque in the final run

i asked about the gearbox tune and they did perform it
