I'll take my misfires on the way to 10.90@128
General question on the D4 S8, love the car and was curious about maintenance and weakest links on the platform....does this 4.0 TT eventually have the same carbon build up issue the RS4 and other new S models are experiencing. Not a deal breaker at all but good to know ahead of time, these look really attractive in the market right now!
Current: Black Pearl Metallic Effect/Ebony, RNS-E, Euro + pedals, oCarbon, Hotchkiss Front & Rear Sway Bars, Koni Yellow's
I've had mine for a year and a half and I've spent about $600 on maintenance and more on mods, which is just a tune and DP's. They say the turbos go bad, but mine have 80k on them and still make 21-22psi with no issues...

You're right. You need the APR tune

Do you know the trick to allow full power on upshifts?
did you make it to the track?
No and No. Hasn't stopped raining for a month. Next opportunity is Tuesday night or Friday night...

In dynamic
no burnout...
turn off traction control in sport mode
pull up to line and stage
MASH the brake pedal! This activates full upshifts.
You just gained .2ths. Thank you veddy much
