i want an RS4 aswell, 2009 here we come :drool:


Im looking at either getting an S3 or an RS4 convertible. Went to see Audi last week and they said they have an S3 in black with 6,000 miles on the clock and a 57 plate. It didnt have SATNAV so i was dissapointed. They wanted £33,000 for it. I was expecting it to be £28-29k to be honest.....

I also looked at an RS4 in black but that sadly was on offer for £51,599. 57 Plate with 3,000miles on the clock.

Both cars are over priced so i left it.

the bird turbo noise seems 2 be a bluefin trait, no body has mentioned this with any other map but I've seen a few mentions of this with bluefin.
I find the APR map pretty progressive and makes the car really easy to drive, fast or every day, just using the extra torque available. Don't get me wrong traction is an issue in the wet obviously, but it probably is in the standard car.

....I've heard my turbo since fitting my Carbonio intake and that was about 6 months before I remapped with Revo Stage1. I also have Neuspeed Turbo Discharge and Charge pipes and SAMCO hoses and Forge DV, all of which might contribute to sound.

I can hear the turbo, but I wouldn't ever describe it as a bird type noise, what I meant was I've only heard people describe bluefined cars making this noise.

....I hear more of a 'spool' sound when coming off the throttle. She will very softly whistle at low revs on a cold morning.

I know exactly waht you mean, I love that sound. The ED30 sound so good standard, I mean its no R32, but under bridges in 2nd gear sounds great!  :laugh:
