Genti006

Nope, I don't do socials at all. 🙈 I did though a short review sponsored by Porsche Albania dealer. You won't understand much but you can enjoy the car with its external upgrades (H&R, maxton skirts and Audi RS wheels)

Metal grey, matte, match with the mirrors (golf r doing that with the blue, looks cool)

Going for the matte black instead of the red. Looks mean! Stage 2, +300ps, +500nm, now on Michelin PS5, 245/35/19. Next on the list: Sachs performance clutch, upgraded turbo (Garret G2260) and Bilsteins B8

Well, in mine, it makes quite a difference. Very welcoming trick.

Well, it is OEM... I've seen it first on a DSG Passat of 2006... It is a button located on the floor, it clicks when you press the throttle to the max and a bit further, an extra 2cm or something. Back in the passat, you would get some more power from it. I am reading now in forums that for DSG cars, it kicks down to the right gear to accelarate faster (case of surpass or similar). I am also reading that it overrides the speed limiter (no idea, I've driven mine past 250km/h but i can't remember if i was pressing the boost button). Another one says it cuts down AC and other load to give you more immediate power... Others are saying that it does nothing for Sport/Normal modes but it does give you extra power when in Eco. Which is exactly my case. I keep it in individual (Chassis & Steering in Sport, Engine and Sound in Eco) and as i said in the previous post, i got the perfect balance of tamed power for normal driving and the beast unleashed when you floor it. I'm sure you should have it too. Try the ECO, floor it and report back :) Cheerio

2021 RS

Well, so far so good. It does vibrate if you floor it on the 5th or 6th at low rpm, clutch can't handle max torque at low rpm. But you can floor it from 2500 to avoid that. Or, which seems a better solution so far, keep it in eco and power goes a bit lower. And the boost button becomes active so you have it when u want it. More like a 280ish hp with 470ish torque that becomes 330 and 560 when you floor it. When the clutch gives up, i guess will change to smth better, a manual Golf R 7 maybe?

So, I think it's all done now. Stage 2 mapping APR air intake and filter Upgraded intercooler Downpipe with 200 cell cat H&R lowering springs Audi RS4 (2017) 8.5 / 19" wheels Maxton side skirts Custom box 1000W jbl sub Probably painting the ceiling black when i do some small scratches. And that should be it. After 4 years, most guys walking by it, stop for a better look. Quite happy with it. Power is a bit too much. You can't put the foot down at lower speeds and high gear. But, interesting enough, I can leave the engine in eco mode and becomes a little tamer (still going strong) and if i need the kick, i press the pedal to the metal, pressing the boost button which apparently becomes active now only in eco mode (normal and sport I guess are already boosted from the remap). It just drives amazing, doing B roads on 4th and 5th, cruising effortlessly at any RPM and becoming a beast if you press it hard. I guess, how a vRS Performance pack should be :)

The originals were okish but not so sporty, which became more and more obvious lowering the car and adding side skirts. So found these used Audi Sline wheels and it seems they suit quite well. No need for spacers also...

thanks mate, super helpful!

You think? It can kill the clutch? So far I havent noticed anything in normal driving but it does vibrate a bit on 5th and 6th if you push it from low revs. Which clutch would you recommend?

Yeah, the downpipe will be over 1,000 EUR, imagine if I don't like it... A bit torn on the wheels... definitely better than the originals (to me) but still too simple maybe? Not sure... Need to see them in black.

Manual... Just the tune and APR air intake & filter. Next is downpipe; high flow catted. Hopefully no droning.

I installed racechip when I bought it 3 years ago because there was no maps available. Racechip was quite ok at 305 PS (meassured) but the new map now is amazing!! Just WOW! 532 NM at 2,400 RPM... the wheels want to spin even at 4th gear if the asphalt is not good. I guess I need wider and better tires to cope with all that power and torque. For more details, I'm posting the graph, before and after. There's plenty of things in the car but I need to take some nicer pics... H&R springs, Maxton skirts, Golf R wheels (to be painted black) and next doing an audio update (got the customs sub but changing all speakers).

That's how my custom box looks on the NX RS...
