2006 E55 2004 Audi S4 (gone and missed)
That is right Charles. The butt dyno LOVED it. But the real dyno showed the truth. Why do you thinkI ended up going with an ECU tune? Again, the only time I feel the tune is needed is on an '06 and newer. Back then, we didn't know about the TQ managment that the new flash brought. It is the same for older cars that have the dreaded secondary injector flash.
If you remember, even with an early tune (before Renntech accepted or figured out TQ managment), your car was pulling timing at the top end. RT said it was due to cooling and I said it was something else. It turned out to be the ECU.

Can someone please elaborate on this TQ management thing please? Are you saying that the ECU is tuned differently on an 06 than on the earlier models? Why is it that you can run just a pulley w/out a tune on an early model and get good results but not on a 2006? Thanks in advance.
