ECU and TCU upgrade plus Air Filters on R8 V10

[M3R8]

This B&B company have a horrible, horrible website, without any real data about what they do to the R8 or any specs of any kind.

Firstly Congratulations to me on "Number 2000 Post"

Looks like for some owners with R-tronics there MIGHT be a opportunity to upgrade the mapping on the transmission to fasten the shift points with this German Company .

Yeah it isnt very good.

What I can tell you is I have looked at vbox data for a few LPs and a few R8s. R8s are taking about .35 to .45 seconds to shift. All the LPs are a very consistent .2 seconds.... that is a big difference.

It is a big difference...

Strap a vbox in that thing!

I got an email back from German Motoring. Suneal is no longer with the company. They are now taking deposits on the TCU flashloader upgrade. The company stated beta is currently available and final will be available in about a month.

Put my deposit down......waiting impatiently LOL

Would the TCU flash overwrite any tuning software previously flashed to the ECU?

TCU and ECU are seperate computers, asked the engineer that exact question when he was local and doing my TCU upgrade in front of me (I had the APR ECU upgrade at the time). So no, apparently will NOT overwrite any prior tuning software.

He had an Apple laptop connected via the standard cable port under the left dashboard. He was using some sort of software and you could see the TCU parameters and the ECU parameters all in the same program by clicking on different tabs. It is very interesting how in stock mode, Audi purposely limits power as you approach the red-line, in percentile increments.

Are they able to do it remotely right now for the TCU? Also, do you know if the TCU upgrade is also available for the V8?
