A Wolf in Sheep's clothing?

By the way John, what do you think to my comment about the occasional stalling of power when cold as if there's zero boost?

Never come across that one before!
Could possibly be fuelling again. The colder it is then the denser the air and the more fuel required. Makes a flat spot worse.

It's always from cold. After I lightly depress the throttle, it's as if the exhaust can't clear the fumes and there's a buildup where the cat holds back, hence the feeling of a lack of power and then all of a sudden she's off with a bang!

If it is on light throttle or on release of throttle then it is a different issue.

It's on light throttle, if I go from light to depressing the gas it does what I said. Never off throttle.

Got the car back today. Can't believe how great it feels. The clutch feels just epic, so responsive and firm and the gearbox is silky smooth.

Car booked in for recalibration of map on Tuesday 23rd. To maximise potential of ITG Maxogen G60 and RS4 FPRV and give the new stiffer front end some more to think about! Don't know if there'll be a huge rise in figures, but the car does feel quicker and the boost seems to be holding higher and to the red line rather than tapering off. My best bet would be somewhere between 300-310bhp and 295-305lbft.

still decent figures though  and sometimes its just numbers its all down to way car drives as well

Too many people chase peak bhp and forget that the car has to be nice to drive!!

Remember its all about AVERAGE POWER

I agree, don't worry I'm not chasing numbers. Although the 300+ benchmark on both fronts would be a nice achievement. The car drives great now, albeit a little unmanageable in the wet, but that is to be expected. The thing I'd like to smooth out is the very minor flat spots and  increase torque between 2,000 & 4,500rpm. After much research and endless conversations with people more in the know than me, I've come to the conclusion that my low to mid range torque output is a little low, albeit very linear all the way to the red line, without a big spike and drop, which is a far kinder and more progressive map, apparently. It could however cope with more low to mid range torque, so fingers crossed the extra mods and recalibration bring exactly that
