I have a 6'1" 16 year old, a 5'5" 10 year old, and a 5 year old in a booster seat. They would kill each other in that back seat.

God damn Kamauxx what the hell are you feeding those kids Do you live next to a power plant waste station?

Well, you obviously have no clue about how big Korean groups work. But its ok. Who makes the transmission is not critical to the discussion of this thread.

How much progress have you made on power output since the pulls back in early Jan?

Cheers!

Another 10 to 15 across the curve, but its the boost levels we are dealing with right now that are causing some issues.

I have to get it to 21 psi and get it to hold there. When I can make that happen, then we will have something to talk about

I'm hitting 19.5 to 21.5 depending on IATs.

Oh ffs, another expert

Oh great knowledge keeper of all things Korean, please enlighten us.

People buying RS cars don’t care about these things. Cost is irrelevant. If you have to worry about insurance prices etc. then we shouldn’t be playing ball at all yet. Hell even in the stinger, my biggest issue is the dealership mediocrity. Soup sandwich people

Exactly. Money isn't really an issue. That doesn't mean I don't want value for my $$$, but I wouldn't lose any sleep over the additional spend. Not boasting, but just trying to explain my point of view. I've got an idea of how much performance I'm after. I like the "form factor" of the Stinger along with the A7/S7/RS7 (4 doors/hatch/seats 4, plus fair amount of creature comfort to go with performance levels). If I can get there with a Stinger and need to throw another 5-10k at it to get to that level, that's fine with me. If not, I'll just spend the other money up front on something that already goes that fast and call it a day. Tuner at heart, but life is short.

As a former Audi b8.5 s4 stg2 and s6 owner, I can tell you that you'd be killing yourself in maintenance alone not including insurance etc...RS cars are on a different level for several reasons and those factors are just a few.

PS. depreciation is about the worst I've seen aside from range rovers and 750bmw.

I think I've mentioned elsewhere that I've owned and tuned a number of Audis in the past. The most fun was a C5 A6 2.7T with 6sp manual that was putting down about 500hp. That was a pretty big deal 12-15 years ago. Definitely an expensive hobby and depreciation will eat you alive if you buy them new (don't do that). The latter is true for pretty much all higher end German cars. The secondary market prices in the high maintenance as they age.

Was looking to try something new which is what piqued my interest in the Stinger. It checks all the boxes for me except power and I'm hoping that is something that can be addressed.

Best,

Straight K04s or hybrids? I've always been a sucker for B5 S4's / A6 with the 2.7T; probably because I had a B5 A4 that I tuned up to ~400hp but it still wasn't the same

It was based on the AWE RSK04 kit and I used a new pair of K04's. They were pretty much maxed out. In hindsight, I should have gone with hybrids, but tuning wasn't readily available at the time so I had to live within the constraints of the GIAC firmware supplied by AWE.

It was awesome having kids pull up in muscle cars or exotic sports cars and just absolutely smoke them both off the line and while on the move. That drivetrain is still my all time favorite. And if I wasn't on the gas, you'd never have known I'd done anything to the car. The perfect sleeper. Hoping to achieve similar results with a Stinger. With the RS7, people are expecting to get owned.

I believe you will be satisfied with the stinger at the end of the day. It does so many things really really well. I believe it should have come with 440hp factory. But this is where I get to satisfy my mod addiction too.

If you are running map 5 then im assuming your also using a E30 mix as well right?

 

[DaBears4Lyfe]

your 11.90 run was also map5 so just another .07 shaved off with no changes again? Octane booster? Nothing?
