Hi there guys,
I just wanted to introduce myself as I expect I am going to be spending a decent amount of time on this forum following my new purchase.
I have moved out of D2 ownership and into the realms of a 2006 520bhp W12 with RS brakes and a 12-into-1 stainless exhaust system. I have no idea compelled me to make this purchase but I've got a feeling it's going to one hell of journey!

I've made a decision to write a blog about the ownership of such a car which can be found at http://mya8w12.blogspot.com/
I will also update this forum with everything that I find good, everything I find bad and any mods which I plan on making.

Looking forward to more communication over the coming years.

Welcome and congratulations!

Just a question: where are those 70 HP coming from?

Welcome to he D3 club. I am also curious about the extra HP. Combo of exhaust and ? It's not true unless there are pictures.

I have to completely verify all of the work which has been done, but apparently.....it has a stage 1 and stage 2 tune from some guys in the UK called JBS which includes IBS Filters and also this sports exhaust. It may be a bit less, but it's certainly more than standard.

Let me know what type of mileage you are getting with the tune. I know it will take some time to shake out. I've kinda was reserved to leaving the engine alone but report back.

I'll drop them a line and see what they have on record of what the car has had done. Am only in my first 48hrs of ownership, so I'm still grinning too much to take things too seriously!!

That's why I am not going to tell you what I think about all those horses.

I called them and received some numbers for the W12 with phase 1 and phase 2, Phase 1 will give approximately 485 HP and 439 ft lbs of torque or 595 Newton Meters of torque at $560.00, Phase 2 will get in the neighborhood of 505 +/- HP. and 460 ft lbs of torque or 625 Newton Meters of torque at around $720.00 USD, depending on what upgrades also are being added, like cold air intake and exhaust, NOW the bad news, the vehicle must be at there location...

EDIT: corrected torque numbers typo above.
