I stand corrected the tune gives you the ability to go to the redline in the highest gear in this case I really think the top speed of my car will be in 6th or 7th gear of the 8 available, if this tune euro A7 with the almost same power (but 7 speed tranny you could tell by the rpms at that speed the 8 speed will be almost at redline of 6th or just shifted to 7th and around 5k rpms) could do 284 km/hr (177mph) then that will be the top speed more/less


Personally I will try to finish that 180mph speedo, looking for a downhill somewhere (closed course professional pilot of course, Do not attempt

I absolutely love this! But I don't understand, if I needed to take it to my dealer, I would have to take the ECU out, ship/go to GIAC, then put it back in?

Is the car even drivable when the ECU is out?

I see alot of flaws but if implementation is better, I'll be the first one on their door step.

Giac's dealer not Audi dealer, they take the ECU out and ship it to Giac they tune it send it back and the Giac's dealer put it back in your car, NO you cannot use your car, is a gigantic paperweight during this process, think of it as taking your car to repair something, might take a couple of days right?

Well that's even wrose, I thought I could take it out and ship it myself. This is an absolute no no for me. It's my only baby.

Saw a guy leaning on it smoking... wanted to smoke his fing face.
