Shouldn't be a problem. I am exploring an A5 2.0T for myself.

Keith,

Is this a global release date or US only?

Do you have a recommended centre in the South East of the UK?

Slight thread hijack. When the dealer flashes your ECU with a newer version, what happens to the aftermarket program? Does it get wiped and have to be reloaded?

If Audi makes incremental improvements to the stock software, does APR follow suit and make the same changes to its program (assuming the changes are compatible and mutually beneficial to the aftermarket tune as well as the stock program)?

I would suggest contacting Awesome UK Store for a recommendation as they are our Importer for the UK and will know best.

The 1.8TSI A4 is very near release and the 2.0 TSI will be shortly thereafter.
