I'm hooked now guys I've owned a Mk golf4 gttdi,and Skoda fabia vrs with a mild chip and loved the way it went now thinking of going back to diesel and would like an A5 or A6 with this engine.Couple of things is this engine better than the 2.7 V6?and can you do any gearbox tweaks to the standard automatic?Cheers guys keep the great vlogs coming

Just subscribed 3 wk a go and happen to love the channel! Keep up the good work lads! I happen to live in the UK I really wouldn't mind coming down see you guys. Looking to remap my 1.6 diesel Honda Civic 2015.

Would really love to see if these EA897 engines stand the test of time with a tune. They are pretty tough engines and if you maintain them well they are quite reliable but before I get mine remapped I'd like to know if its going to stay reliable

Some claim over 200hp but I would say 280 is realistic!

Quick question: I have an 08 3.0 quattro manual. I plan to do a remap this summer plus dpf off and exhaustion change. How much can I get out of this safely? Do I need an intercooler change as well to get over 315 hp 700nm? I don't plan on doing straight lines so less stress for transmission. I just want for quick accelerations and cruising

Just on a remap, the 201's will do around 250-260hp on our dyno. Smaller turbo on the 201

Ryan, Could you retrofit adaptive cruise control to these A5's? Is there any reason why you didn't use a A6/A7 Bitdi instead? Has there been any changes in modifying Mk7 GTD since your last videos on them? Thanks, loving the content!

Love these vids! Quick question about the old shape a5, are the s tronic and multitronic much different? They seem to have the same gear knob and set up from the cab from what I’ve seen on ebay cars for sale Is the older (2007ish) s tronic any good and mappable or am I better off looking for a manual? Cheers

@DarksideDevelopments

4 жыл бұрын

Multitronic is only on the 2.0 and 2.7's? thats a variable transmission with no real gears as such and weak!. The earlier S-Tronic are OK but not as capable as the later boxes. Tiptronic are slower changing but stronger and dont need tuning really
