Valuable tuning tips for all A6 1.9TDI owners:

The lucky ones own what we currently show as the most powerful car in the range, the A6 RS6 quattro Plus Tip having a power figure in the order of 473bhp depending on the year, so this goes to show the tuning potential of the A6 1.9 TDI SE Sport 130ps .
If you do the right mods then Carref cannot see any reason why you can’t push your power figure to between 520.3bhp to 709.5bhp

That doesnt make any sense at all. So because an RS6 has 473bhp you can get 520bhp> from a 1.9TDi..When tuning your A6 it is important that you get it right so follow our A6 tuning overview and see which the best modifications are.

Surely not even the most mouth-breathing of utter rank morons would ever even consider it something worth looking at? I mean, where's the market?!

Power tuning mods for the Nissan Micra 1.2 Activ Red Posted on November 17th, 2010, 9:04 am by
We have a comprehensive database of all the latest and greatest modifications to your car. Really hot tuning tips and advice.
Things obviously change over time and whilst we try to keep an accurate record we do get things wrong (let us know if we have), but when we wrote this article our database shows that the highest power Micra would be the Micra 1.6 Active Luxury with power of upto 108bhp depending on the year, so this goes to show the tuning potential of the Micra 1.2 Activ Red.
If you focus on quality mods, like cams, headwork including porting and polishing and a remap along with PROPER breathing mods you could see a power figure of between 118.8bhp to 162bhp with mods ranging from a few subtle add ons to a full engine rebuild! Obviously the higher you go the more risk there is of reliability issues.

TVR Tuscan owners take note:

The Tuscan come in various power levels right up to 440bhp as per the Tuscan Convertible If you apply a few tuning mods to this model of Tuscan you will see power gains from anywhere between 484bhp to 616bhp. Any more than this and you will start to see unreliability appearing.
The forced induction Tuscan 4.0 Speed Sixs are a tuners dream. If you have a turbo or supercharger get the intercooler uprated for even more power. The Tuscan has a healthy 361 bhp. On a turbo engine you can further increase the power from anywhere between 469.3 bhp to 685.9bhp with mods we have outlined above.) High on your list of mods for your Tuscan 4.0 Speed Six should be handling improvements. To avoid other problems you should lower the car no more than 36mm.

"We look at the latest Renault Sport Sport Spider2 Seat tuning parts and recommend the best mods. Read our complete Sport Sport Spider2 Seat tuning guide. We have a comprehensive database of all the latest and greatest modifications to your car.
The most powerful Sport would be the Sport 4.2 V8 Supercharged HSE with power of upto 385bhp depending on the year, so this goes to show the tuning potential of the Sport Sport Spider2 Seat."

I quite like how the wording suggests you'll get power gains 'of' x amount, rather than 'to' x amount.. So you could actually gain an EXTRA 685bhp for that Tuscan, happy days 
Also like ones where they use the top model to 'prove' the 'potential' of the base model..... when the two are the same because there's only one engine

It's basically a massive pile of auto-generated nonsense that exists only to get ranked in search engines. Then every single page links to http://www.torque cars.com/tuning/ (link intentionally broken to avoid giving them link juice) so that that site gets massive boost in rankings. Or that's what they hope. This sort of nonsense is so harmful to those of us providing decent info it makes me have a screaming f
