204 hp

Hi just bought my first Audi a Q7. I've made a school boy error, thought all Q7 where 240hp turns out mine is 204hp still 3.0 ltr engine, now is this a mapping issue or is there a larger turbo fitted to the 240hp version, thanks for your help in this matter

You'll be able to remap it and get increases in bhp/torque but not sure about the turbo. 

Cheers

Cheers Steve, was going to get that done, but was just curious as to where the extra 40hp comes from

[Steve Q]

If it is a bigger turbo, I wonder if it has different injectors and different MAF?

That would make sense, not sure on why you would have a lower hp on such a big car unless it's mpg, can't say there is a huge difference as I'm getting around 36mpg

[Steve Q]

Think you've got the mail on the head. Bet better mpg brings it into a different tax bracket maybe?

Believe it or not its the same! 

[Steve Q]

Well I would never thought that!
