Hi,
I am the owner of the recently chip-tuned 2.8 12V 90Q Sport. Just wanted to post a thread now that I have had a chance to drive the car for a few weeks to give my impressions of the cars road performance.
To recap, cars Mods are:
2 x Magnaflow Cats
Inline silencer deleted & Magnaflow Muffler
AAN S4 FLYWHEEL, ALUMINUM
RS4 CLUTCH DISK, STAGE 1 SPEC ORGANIC, 240MM
SACHS 12V 90 PRESSURE PLATE
034 TRANS MOUNT FOR EARLY AUDI I5 APPLICATIONS
Large Bore MAF
Akemoto Velocity Dry-Element Cone Filter
Dyno Tuned as:
1:Stock running form
2:W/Chip tuning & no MAF upgrade
3:Chip Tuned & Large Bore MAF Upgrade
Car felt VERY heavy and sluggish in comparison to my I5 20V and V8Q. The RS4 Flywheel upgrade ALONE made the car feel 500+lbs lighter and the RS4 clutch is very powerful but retains very good streetability w/ just a bit of chatter when you try to let the clutch out too slowly w/ no throttle. (But then how often am I going to do THAT!) ;)
The car with Chip Tuning/Large Bore MAF & the Cone Filter setup showed good HP gains and is a completly different car on the road showing MUCH improved acceleration and mid/upper range HP.
MPG figures unavailible as I only drive the car to and from work and since I get off at 3:30am I am on the throtthle HARD when I am driving the car so it wouldnt be fair to judge the MPG for that kind of driving.
The next Mods on deck are:
Porsche 996T rims(18x8.5" Frnt/18x10"Rr)
2piece 4x108-5x130 adapters 25mm
Conti Sport Tires (225/35Frnt-255/30Rr)
1.25" Lowering Springs on Koni Dampers.
Hope this thread was informative to those that might have been wondering about the recent 034 Chip Tuning Effort on the 2.8L 12V
