Anyway, i would like to upgrade the grille to the W12 grille which has more chrome and is vertical with the chrome instead of horizontal and mostly black like mine. Does anyone know what part number i need? I have actually ordered the '05-'06 W12 grille but it came in horizontal. Do i need to order the '07-'08 grille? I heard it only comes in glossy black. Again, all i want is that look of the W12 vertical. Any ideas? ]]> Performance and Tuning Kahuna-Big http://forums.audiworld.com/showthread.php?t=2768021 http://forums.audiworld.com/showthread.php?t=2767820&goto=newpost Mon, 16 Nov 2009 03:14:56 GMT Hey I was wondering if anyone knew about the RS6... Hey I was wondering if anyone knew about the RS6 or RS4 kits that would be compatible for a 1995 s6. I have been trying to research it, but not having much luck because I don't know exactly what I am trying to find. I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Can anyone tell me what maps they have and in what order? I think there are 2 maps and then stock. I am pretty sure one is 91 octance and the other 93 but don't know which order. ]]> Performance and Tuning ucf_motorcycle http://forums.audiworld.com/showthread.php?t=2767814 http://forums.audiworld.com/showthread.php?t=2767470&goto=newpost Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:42:47 GMT There has been a lot of speculation on how fuel... There has been a lot of speculation on how fuel regulators are fabricated, and the quality of their components, so I decided it was a good Idea to take them apart side by side and evaluate their differences. Please let it be known that we fully stand behind any of these regulators, as we sell hundreds of them with a slim to no failure rate. However, I know pictures speak louder than 1000 words. These are very similar parts they have a few differences. Some are simply cosmetic, but there are also some differences when it comes to their internals.

I used standard -10 regulators to make sure we compare apples to apples. No matter which size inlet you get the internal components are shared thru out the manufactures line up.




Once apart the differences become apparent. The Aeromotive regulator is the only one that uses a stamped piece of sheet metal for the spring cap. Both the SX and Fuel Lab use a CNC piece of brass, but only the fuel lab has a ball in the top for the adjustment screw to sit against an important feature to prevent the screw from wearing the metal out over time.







Once disassembled you can see, that the bottom of the diaphragm has a ball that sits against the base of the regulator in all of them, and the rubber material is obviously shaped differently in all of them. Even though to the naked eye it appears and feels to be the same type of material in all of them.








For the Weldon, the main points that I would like to highlight is that it has the CNC Hat, just like the SX and FueLab. However the ball on the top of it is not fixed; it simply rests there between the adjustment screw and the hat. It is also the only one that has a sleeve in the bottom of the spring so that the spring’s sharp edge is not rested directly against the soft diaphragm material. On the return port, the Weldon uses a sleeve inside the return port that is removable.







You can be confident that with any of these regulators, you will get a quality piece. The only differences between them are the look, price, and some structural differences that could sway a person one way or the other. ]]> Performance and Tuning TitanMotorsports http://forums.audiworld.com/showthread.php?t=2767470 http://forums.audiworld.com/showthread.php?t=2767216&goto=newpost Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:59:25 GMT I've read a lot of people resolving various problems by having different component's firmware updated. Being a software geek, my first inclination is to have these all at their most current versions. Is this a wise thing to do and if so, how I can determine:

1) what are all the firmware-updatable components on my B8-A4
2) how to tell what firmware version is actually installed
3) will the dealer perform update(s) just because I want them to
