AMD are quite often more than others but are very good. Quite a few will simply reprogram and check the after result. AMD do an engine health check and power check before and after remap meaning there is less chance of anything going wrong.

They are also a very well recognised audi tuner kinda like mtm though iirc they had some issues with the r8.

When you say AMD had problems with the R8 can you enlighten more? Any forum links or anything? Who are MTM?

Give Mark a call at Backdraft in Milton Keynes, www.backdraftmotorsport.com did a Milltek exhaust and remap on my R8 and definately recommended.

MRC Tuning seem well respected, too.

MTM are Motoren Technik Mayer, a VAG tuner, who also tune the likes of Bentley, Lamborghini and Spyker. Their UK agent is QS Tuning, who I believe are in Sussex

Sorry that was a bit misleading. AMD had no issues at all that i heard of whereas i believe though cannot verify that mtm had an R8 engine go pop on them but yet again that would be in developement and testing phase and shouldnt happen to a customer car as have certainly never heard anything negative about MTM from a customer standpoint.

I can tell you however that i spoke to the head of amd uk shortly after confirmation of the r8 V10 going into production and he told me they should be able to get similar power through remap iirc though since my memory is st he could also have told me that i was an hideous ugly sob who knows....
