Official Audi tuning

[Chiefbadger]

For the life of me I can't remember where I read this, but I'm sure that I saw that Audi were due to announce a series of official power upgrades in conjunction with a tuner (presumably ABT) in a similar manner to the Ford/Mountune partnership.

Does anyone know if this is true or just another internet myth?!

ABT are offering it in most of Europe, with Audi approval... but not in the UK.

Yet(?).

It's still not 'official' in Europe, but sounds like Audi are a bit more likely to cooperate. Interestingly, although the cost is massive, the ABT ECU doesn't flag the TD1 code apparently as its a piggy back complete ECU effectively. I asked the guys at Richter Sport about any official tie up and they didn't confirm or deny but did say that they'd heard it would be limited to things like Exhausts/brake upgrades etc. Nothing software related.

I'm assuming that if this ever was in the pipeline it's now more unlikely given the latest VWAG shenanigans but I'm still living in hope!
