    Cool Best ECU for Audi R8 v10

    I have got an Audi R8 V10 with supersprint exhaust and was wondering what the best ECU is available in the market. I want something that will give me the engines full power. and i would also like to know what intake system is best for it "and where i can order it from."
    Thank you for your time.

    Do you mean you want it remaped i.e tuned to allow bigger power?
    Or are you looking for a stand alone after market ecu.?
    In my drift car I run a LINK G4 extreme but I'm not sure how it would work on a R8 due to you would loose a lot of the cars fuctions.

    The remaps are offering anywhere from 560-610bhp.

    I think all the big audi tuning companies are doing intakes not sure how much gain you will have on a R8 tho.

    A sample of your Supersprint exhaust would be interesting to see/hear. You must be in heaven with this new ride. How does she compare to your other experiences? How did you find this forum, google ??

    do you have a V10? APR's ECU is pretty wicked. Ferrari Italia and a 2012 GTR can't overtake on the straights on track- just to give you an idea of the raw hp it produces.

    Would be helpful if you put your location. If you are in U.S I would say Stasis, After spending close to $200k would be important to me to keep warranty intact

    i'm in the US and would have no qualms recommending the APR over the Stasis. Stasis is essentially selling you the unofficially approved audi programming that is in the LP-560 which is twice as expensive and yields 30 hp less. APR software has been flawless so far and is encrypted.

    Before Supercharging I did APR, Car did feel quicker but i did dyno before and after and gains were only about half what they claimed. Dealer will know car has a different tune with APR and could void warranty.

    is this with respect to the V8?
    also- did you have that experience with the dealer? what did the dealer say about the ECU? did they threaten to void your warranty? am curious because of the "just in case" situation that could one day come up.

    Yes with V8, My before and after Dyno's are in our Dyno thread. When I had my Stasis Supercharger installed by dealer they could not get rid of the APR tune to put in Stasis tune. They had to call Germany to bring car back to stock first. That makes me wonder if you need an update would you run into problems?

    Harrison yes i found it on google and the car sounds amazing but i think the engine isn't giving me its full potential .. I wish somebody gives me a website that sells air intakes for the v10
    I will check out the APR .
