[BiturboS4] New S4 owner

[Robin Gibson]

Can't beat Imola Yellow; looks like170mph standing still.

I can highly recommend the abt chip.  Pricey but pulls like a train from
1200rpm.  Mid range torque is so strong that there is little point revving
past 4000 even when driving hard.

The rear support bracket on my stock exhaust failed a few months ago.  It is
lashed together OK but if I have to replace it I would happily pay a bit
more for a better exhaust.  Is it worth fitting an uprated tail section
alone, or do you have to change the lot to get some extra performance?

Ta

Robin
