personally, I think he just gave me the wrong code....or he's a complete hack. You be the judge, but this was the 2nd version of the software (over the past 2-3 years)...and I was never happy with my cars performance until now.

418whp @ 7150rpm, 430 lb/ft @3853 rpm - SmokinS4 2006-04-05 19:49:39 (1845 views)

Was the car dynoed in 3rd gear? I noticed the speed was indicated at 104.8 mph at 7150 rpm. - M007 2006-04-07 17:10:36 (184 views)

Yes, dynoed in 3rd. - DAP 2006-04-07 17:20:10 (248 views)

Thanks for your response. - M007 2006-04-07 17:23:20 (187 views)

At what boost? - box_of_partS4 2006-04-06 08:52:57 (196 views)

18-19psi to 7150 rpm - SmokinS4 2006-04-06 10:03:18 (259 views)

Good for you. I bet your on sub3 FATS now. - smurfbus4 2006-04-06 05:07:28 (189 views)

jeebuz christ...thats the greatness...congrats. - L0rd of the Rings 2006-04-05 21:36:03 (196 views)

i'm sorry....but i think i have asked you this question before, but what mods are you running again? - Arcteryx 2006-04-05 21:16:40 (240 views)

The short list: RS4 intake/ported/matched heads, RS4 cams, hybrid (AmD) turbos, etc - SmokinS4 2006-04-06 02:49:16 (386 views)

Hybrid mitsu/k04 turbo (desc) - SmokinS4 2006-04-06 02:52:27 (912 views)

Very interesting. You have any pictures of these turbos? - Mike2kS4@ASP 2006-04-06 10:16:05 (213 views)

of course. How about comparisons to straight K04s? - SmokinS4 2006-04-06 10:47:41 (461 views)

very nice.....30psi WOW. - Arcteryx 2006-04-06 10:52:26 (202 views)

only after I manage to adjust the wastegates....which is a PITA - SmokinS4 2006-04-06 10:56:14 (303 views)

Quite impressive. - Mike2kS4@ASP 2006-04-06 11:11:07 (300 views)

Mike, any more information on this process? - christian (Stage 1) 2006-04-06 11:21:14 (226 views)

Just get a 10mm combination wrench and grind the combo end so it's shaped like a C... - Mike2kS4@ASP 2006-04-06 12:20:57 (258 views)

Air regulated at 5-9psi via a standard pressure/boost leak tester? - christian (Stage 1) 2006-04-06 12:40:28 (199 views)

Just a normal air-compressor regulator should do fine... - Mike2kS4@ASP 2006-04-06 13:18:49 (291 views)

Yes, but are you hooking the air line up to the WG itself, or are you just pressurizing the system. - christian (Stage 1) 2006-04-06 13:23:59 (199 views)

You have to tap into the WG line off the N75 valve, have to test WG separately. - Hal_S4Shizzle::CBP 2006-04-06 13:32:41 (201 views)

Thanks Hal. :) We'll have to give this a shot. Thanks Mike! - christian (Stage 1) 2006-04-06 13:34:08 (172 views)

I think another 8psi would be allot of fun =) - SmokinS4 2006-04-06 11:22:40 (209 views)

I hadn't thought of it that way.... As for the gaskets. - SmokinS4 2006-04-06 11:17:43 (246 views)

very nice, sorry havent been following very closely... - Ken WA 2006-04-05 21:00:29 (228 views)

AMS K04 code is weaksauce. :) - christian (Stage 1) 2006-04-06 07:31:07 (204 views)

Haha. That's a great comparison. :) - christian (Stage 1) 2006-04-06 08:39:12 (174 views)

Noice. What octane? - Mike2kS4@ASP 2006-04-05 20:12:40 (226 views)

You should take your car to the Mustang @ EPL...for comparison's sake =) - box_of_partS4 2006-04-06 06:03:09 (180 views)

Thanks, but I doubt I could go to EPL... I'd have to block off an entire day. - Mike2kS4@ASP 2006-04-06 10:26:18 (186 views)

I know you mean Mike, but I'll come and throw down some stock S4 numbers =) - box_of_partS4 2006-04-06 07:12:34 (189 views)

Sure just give me more then ten minutes notice!! - LI-S4 2006-04-05 20:22:43 (186 views)

If they arrive early I will mount them before I come up for that thing in your office. - ECD212 2006-04-05 20:26:02 (205 views)

Good idea...that ought to tone the car down just enough... ;-) - LI-S4 2006-04-05 20:36:17 (208 views)
