Got my car back on Tuesday night from a good friend of mine who owns MTM USA (the US distributor for MTM Germany, most known for their Audi tunes/parts).
Long story short, I'm now running their stage 1 ECU tune! Never expected to tune the car quite frankly, but it was a right time right place scenario, and MTM was able to use my car for R&D as well. Seeing as my car is past 60k miles as well, I decided to jump in.
The tune puts me at 300hp and 317 lb-ft of torque. The car feels noticeably punchier overall with loads of torque on hand. Of course, things are just as refined and smooth as before, just with more power. Really excited to get some more time behind the wheel and get acclimated to the new power.
Ironically, my friend lent me his MTM RS3 while he had my car for 2 days. That car is running their ECU software and clocks in at 500hp . I've driven the car plenty of times before, but living with it for 2 days was stunning. It genuinely distorted my sense of speed though, so getting back into my car (even after being flashed) made it very hard to discern the differences over stock lol.
In any case, very pleased with the results so far and can't wait to re-discover the car overall. Be sure to check out what MTM USA is up to down here in Florida - definitely some great things going on.
