Hello Everyone,


Just picked up my 2012 R8 V10, with Stasis ECU upgrade, exhaust and wheels. Loving it! My previous car was a 2008 RS4, but this was more than expected. Just wanted to say hello and post pics of it. I look forward to contributing as much as I can.

Sorry for the upside down pic! Stupid iPhone.

Interesting.. a 2012 with an ECU upgrade? I thought the tuners hadn't quite figured that one out yet... That's fantastic if they did!

Oh, why's that? Did something change with the 2012 engine or ECU? Just curious...


And welcome to R8Talk, Johnny.

Audi changed ECU's on the 2012. Up until this point (?) the Tuners have not been able to crack the security. I've been waiting on APR.

Yeah - Johnny, you sure they did an ecu upgrade?

Oh, I see...that must be why the factory shows slightly higher HP numbers on the 2012s (for both V8s and V10s).

Love those Stasis wheels, by the way, Johnny.

SebringSilver, my 2012 V10 Coupe shows HP 525/Torque 391 on the Monroney (window) sticker. I wonder where you saw higher numbers?
