Revo are offering a tune for the B8 S4 too:

If it's as good my Revo Stage 2, it won't be bettered by anybody's home brew tune, not even Nye. Wink

Mappacks (a2l/ols) for Simos 8 are available. I bet they are pricey, though.

R/W/CHKs is the problem. I don't know of any tool that can do them at the moment.

If its ME7, I am confident that I could more or less match any tuner's stage 1-3 tune (k03/k04/rs6), especially if its for 91oct. No magic there. The limit is timing, period.

I expect the same for Simos 8, but for other very difficult technical issues having nothing to do with EFI tuning itself

is the supercharged V6 the only Audi unit using Simos?

AFAIK the new V8TT w/ cylinder deactivation uses Motronic.

3.2 v6 uses a version of simos, as well as some of the diesel motors, but not 8.4.

I thought I would get a bite there. Grin

Quite right too because you guys are highly experienced, but from my point of view £450 is less than three new tyres and probably 10% of what I have spent on modifying the car so it was a no-brainer. Plus, at the time I decided to get a commercial tune my knowledge of tuning was squat.
