Where did you get your RS6 tuned?

[MarnellBalmeo]

Widening my search. Since 034 does not do custom tune, im looking for all possible options.


Basically future plans would be upgraded turbo, injectors and supporting mods.

Im interested in both in-house tuning or online/fileshare/email/datalog style tuning (if thats available in this flatform)


I have not started the build but I want to make sure I actually have a tuner that knows RS6 before I start building.

Thanks

IIRC only APR can tune the RS6 because of some special reason / proprietary info. Someone may correct me

Not true. Lots of companies have tunes for the rs6. Apr. Unitronic. 034. Oe tuning. Mrc and a lot more.
There used to be a guy called marc10secs4 here. I dont know if he still sells his tunes tho. Does anyone know?
Different story if you need a custom tune.

[LakeTahoeQuattr]

Yes, excuse me. I meant to say custom tune..

Amd is the only place I’ll take mine.

They’ve tuned Tim’s and his is 850awhp

[AudiA4_20T]

034 doesn't do custom tunes anymore? I thought they used to do them all the time?

[JorisRS6]

Amd is on the west coast or not? Any good shops on the east coast too?

Whos Tim? do you have his username? looking to see what he used for his build.

and that place is in WA, do you know if they do remote tuning?

Did they use to? I called them and all they have is a flash.

can you elaborate on this? Surprise that only one company is able to touch the thing

Tim haugan. User name is Corbett. His is the sportec rs600 or something along those lines. Believe he is running tial 770’s and a built motor.

I believe amd will do remote tuning, but Jason (the owner) is a hard man to get a hold of unless you go there in person.

[m_haiser]

didn't he post recently and actually made 890? monstrous

Yea he did, I saw the graph of that thing.

Ill see if I can get a hold of them.


Thanks

Jason@AMD has been remote tuning my RS6 and another local RS6. Both similar setups on E85 and it’s bonkers.

Thanks for the input. How does remote tuning work for this flatform. Do I need to purchase a specific tuner/flasher or VCDS?

also whats your setup like and what power?(is your sig up to date?)

Looking to increase the injectors size and unable to find out for this car.

APR's tune for the c5 rs6 was known to be... less than quality.

There's a user on rs6.com "nubcake" who has what seems to be a good tune. Otherwise AMD is good. And I'm sure there are many competent Audi tuners who could do a good job too.

is that APR the same as APR Performance & Car Tuning in San Jose, CA?

seems to be multiple APR when I google them. Also one in Pomoma CA.

You’d need to ask Jason about remote tuning. A friend of mine is a rep so he’s doing all the flashing and logs. VCDS is all you need for logs but I’m not sure how the flashing logistics would work.

Yes sig is up to date. GT3RS injectors, Bosch part number 0280158123.

Not sure on power as I haven’t dynod. Jason@AMD claims a tip setup like mine always dynos over 600wtq and 500whp. With a manual swap he bumps up low end to 650wtq. I rode in my friends same setup but with 01E 6MT and holy cow from 2k RPM it’s bonkers.

Mine hit 160mph yesterday with ease while we are still dialing in the ECU and TCU. Shooting for 175mph on the tip, 200mph with a 6MT if I find a road for it.

I second the vote for nubcake. He remote-tuned mine and it's running great. He's also easy to work with and very responsive, and his prices are very reasonable. To do the remote tuning, you need a laptop with logging and flashing software installed. The company "Nefarious Motorsports" has free software for both, and they are easy to setup and use. Nubcake will also help you get the software setup.

[JorisRS6]

Is marc10secs4 still around with his rs6 tunes?

[Nollywood]

I’ll be interested in a remote tune too.

[jnervi3]

Wanted to bump up this thread to see if anyone is open to pointing me in the right direction for an ECU/TCU tune(s) through some of the aforementioned tuners (i.e. AMD, nubcake, etc.) ? Appreciate all your time and hope everyone is hanging in there!

[2.ohhh]

nubcake did mine...and is always willing to tweak as we go. Just took out the SAI system for me and he'll be helping with my 6 speed conversion.



Also, I may have a tuned TCU available shortly...

[Bernd]

Nube did mine as well, I wouldn't trust any other person on the belongs of my engine!
He is as said, very responsive and helps you with whatever problem might come along the way and there where a few on my way to my 6speed RS6 Avant. This winter I have to rebuild the engine again, do to oil pressure line failure along the line I will upgrade my fuel system to his requests and put in a wideband lambda.
cheers

Does anyone have any recommendations on TCU tunes?
preferably one that does not require the TCU to come out.
