Aha that makes sense about the cams ow yeah I will check with Jeremy since he just mentions sending the ecu out to be tuned not by who maybe whoever did it can inform me the guy selling the swap kit is called žymantas Juškevičius so I don’t think he is mario. But the s8 engine with s8 tune should be plug and play right? Does your friend have a build thread one could follow for guidance?

He's the one who came up with this recipe for making a manual A8 so he may be able to tell you a bit more about it.
I didn't know Jeremy had a manual A8L - have you asked about his tune?
A friend is doing an S8 swap in to an L so that he can have manual, rather than going Mario's route so there are a few options.
