550i tuning?

Any tuners tinkering with this car yet? Twin turbo v8 no? Seems ripe for a flash, intake, and exhaust for big gains.

Pretty sure both OE Tuning and ESS already have tunes for the new V8 TT cars. I was actually just talking to the owner of Gintani yesterday. They made huge power and torque over stock on their X5M just with downpipes, exhaust and a tune.

Dinan flash...although many dealers will not install it/honor its warranty.

I'd go for the dinan tune as well. It may be conservative, but it likely won't blow a motor. There are a few other tuners out there that have enough bad press that I'd never consider them.

If Cobb comes out with something it'd be worth looking at as well IMO.

501hp, 580lbft with Dinan Stage 2 tuning only. When my 2012 arrives in November I will get this tune. I already repurchased it to lock in the 15% off promo.
