    A less heavy wallet!? Ha! <...chirp...><...chirp...><...chirp...>






    OK bad joke....

    Do you have before dyno charts?

    If I remember correctly, you were concerned about warranty coverage with upgrades?

    i have dyno charts at the office - yessir.

    yes i was concerned about mishaps after the upgrades - very true.. i was mostly concerned about popping DV's every two weeks and ruining the tranny or DRC..

    hopefully the addition of the APR DV's, the new TCU, a new torque converter, and KW V3 Coilovers will keep me out of the repair shop. hopefully..

    Fonzie, what made you decide to go with APR? The sheer number of chip/software availability for the RS6 makes it quite difficult to choose.

    So far it seems like DNA has been great and S42SKI/Copper both love their REVO.....

    To be honest..? My first baby (2.0 A4 B7) was done all in APR - Exhaust, test pipe, ECU, DV's, Intake - and i loved the results. I also have a great relationship with the APR dealer, and he always treats me right..

    I've heard great things about the other brands ECU/TCU setup - and I really had a tough time deciding.. but the only thing i've got to go from; is experience. APR has been great to me so far, so i feel i owed it to them.

    Went from 200 HP, 207 lbs.. ended up with a very mean sounding 355 HP, 320 lbs.. not bad for the little A4.. considering i didn't swap the turbo

    Very stable and reliable. Also had springs and wheels done so it actually looked and sounded very aggressive.

    all together, including labor - the mods added to about $3200-$3400

    dunno if can be done to GTi - but it's a safe guess to say yes.. gti has turbo, right?

    Fonzie who is doing your cat delete? also I am thinking about getting custom Down pipes from Milltek with no cats and just doing the check engine light fix/trick or maybe ill just do them with 100cell race cats

    Also tell me how you like those coils man I have the setting for you if you want them.

    Chris Green from USP is doing the work. I'm bypassing the CEL by writing the file into the ECU/TCU upgrade. I heard the Milltek DP's are sweet..

    I haven't gotten the coilovers yet! I was promised a delivery by 3/3/08.. but was told today that due to a material shortage - i need to wait another 3 weeks.

    as soon as i get them i'm gonna PM you for your settings.. i'm so excited - did you have any new pics with the new settings?? i know the weather probably sucks - but i'm dyin to see how your beast is sitting

    Actually the weather has been okay up here like in the 60's but I will clean my beast up today and take a few pics BTW I got the milltek non-res on the car but i melted my rear bumper as Stratmosphere didn't send me enough clamps so i didn't put on the tips and next thing I know and M6 pulls up next to me so well you know the rest and when i get to my destination i get out to find my bumper is melted from the exhaust gas. Oh well i was about to get a new bumper anyway as mine had a small crack in it.
