I fail to see how a canned tune can cost $1300. That’s insane. Not every car is the same where you can throw a map at it and it will just be alright. I mean granted it is AMS so it’s going to cost more but still.

im sure it has something to do with time invested into the software but realistically it’s just because of the price of the car. Look at turbo manifolds. Same material, same everything… but a top mount turbo manifold for a beseries costs $600 and a manifold for an S2000 (or any other car that isn’t a civic lol) costs 1000+ for the same style

or a twin turbo kit for a lambo. What’s that like 50-60k some how Lol

I agree, it’s Highway robbery. This will give the option for remote tuning unlike any other options on the market

APR released something for the 4.0T platform that does something like that. I didn’t read up on it too much but it did catch my attention while I was drooling over a RS7

I have a daily A4 Avant that I pimp around in. That along with the current weather conditions are getting me along until I figure out what is next. Been watching the B8 S4’s alot right now… but we will see, my mind isn’t dead set on anything yet.
