C32
Yes, The RS4 is the fastest car I drove so far. Stock to stock the Rs4 will just eat a C32 at the red light. Starting the race at higher speeds (+ 100kmh) the 2 cars will be very close.
My friends Rs4 has also been chipped and has now 420 HP. Even with the ODPS kit I do not have a chance keeping up with him.
I just wonder about the lifetime of such a 'small' 2,7 l engine with so much HP.

The picture shows the plug which is added to the bottom of the original coolant tank which is visible on the passenger side of the vehicle. The plug serves to separate the old system from the new circuit. It is not part of the ODPS's new circuit, but is connected to the coolant of a "normal system".
Apparently the mechanic didn't seal the small clamps properly, if so that would be his "fault" not actually a design issue. Simple tightening would probably do the trick. If so, "no harm no foul".

The plug used in ODPS is a pcs of soft rubber, like our finger.
More than 1 users found slow leakage after certain period of drive.
The mechanic check it and he advice to "recap" the coolant outlet
by a solid plug, Al.(shown in the pic)
He's going to recall all ODPS users here no matter they've read
the coolant low level alarm or not.
I read that alarm yesterday, 3 weeks after my last coolant level check.
It's fine to be guard by the level sensor of coolant tank once you
read that low level alarm, fill it up w/o harm to the engine.

Shine,
The way your mechanic has adapted a new clamp to it is not the correct way to fix his mistake. You now have to clamps, including 1 that will eventually rust and leak.
Most likely, the recall by your mechanic will allow him to fix a previous error of not tightening the plug properly. The plug is rated to withstand temperatures in excess of 400 degrees Fahrenheit. The kits that are leaking are a result of not being properly tightened. If you need new clamps, send Vadim@evosport.com an email, and he will get some replacements sent out to you.
Thanks,
Ben
