    It's brand new. I meant that I got this brand new one loaded out for the price of a used one loaded out for the same.

    One last adjustment to the inlet pipe before I say good bye to the car tomorrow. It's been fun and I'll miss the car but it's time to let it go.

    Picked up the new ride. Then threw on some ceramic pads, 17.5mm spacers and lowered 15mm when I got home. 15% tint goes on Monday.

    Back from the dead, yes I know.

    I've read back and forth between pages 9-10, and I assume you installed the new S4 rear calipers and everything went okay?
    I was super close to just installing the rear S5 carriers and using my stock calipers, but then I stumbled onto this thread.

    Yeah you'll need the actual S4/5 rear caliper and not only the carriers. As you can see I found out the hard way the caliper is wider on the S models to account for the vented rotor that will be replacing the thinner solid A model rotor.

    Yup already squared out. S5 rear calipers/rotors were a huuuge improvement.

    Yeah it went well with the four piston fronts. If you haven't done that yet you should. It's a big difference and you'll realize how bad the stocks are.

    I did the front Macan setup about a month before I did the rears. The two made my braking feel like a brand new car.

    This sounds accurate. My 2014 A4 (spec'd with Audi MMI) does not have a 3.5mm headphone jack in the armrest, but it does have the AMI port in the glove box.

    Edit:
    Tune is off and damn it's slow. If you guys get bored with stage 2, turn it off for a week and then turn it back on. Lol
    Im in the same boat right now. Went about a month ago to start the oil consumption test, been without my tune ever since, getting a little bored. But my MMI is reading empty for oil level, so oil light should be popping up any day now I can take it back in. Can't wait to get the tune back on though!

    Nice, how many miles did they have you drive on stage 1? My educated guess would be until the light comes on or 700 miles.

    They told me they need the oil light to come on to proceed, not necessarily true, but I am fine with that, so didn't push to go in sooner. As I said, my MMI is reading empty and its been about 1100km since I went for part 1 of the test, which is about 680 miles. Expecting light to come on within the next 100km or so.

    Awesome, hope it comes on soon so you can get that stage 2. I've been getting 700 miles per quart so hopefully this doesn't make it a little better, I just want to drive those 700 miles and get that stage 2.

    Yeah man, hoping for the best with this. Haven't had any discussion with the dealer yet regarding stage 2, so I hope they don't give me the run around. I'll post some updates when I know. Good luck with yours! And enjoy your stock ride haha.
