I would love to hear more about the re-map as I am tempted to have one done on mine if I can get the turbo to behave?


I have established mine does have the sport suspension, although with have air suspension, not sure what that means. So glad to hear all the good reports about the handling.

I've driven an A4 and A5 3.0tdi's that have been remapped and they do make a big difference. The mapper I use gives at least another 50bhp, but obviously it's the torque and power delivery that makes the biggest difference and especially complements the auto box.

What's up with your Turbo (Vains coked up?)
