ECU Removal...Little Issue

Very interesting, thanks for the info saki. It really is amazing at how much the car woke up from the tune. I know it sounds exaggerated when I say it is a completely different car, but its 100% true. I thought going catless woke the throttle up big time but thats no comparison. To realize the throttle was that lazy from the factory is pretty crazy…stock s4s dont know what they are missing haha.

RS4s only allow for 50% throttle in 1st-3rd in cold weather…did I get that right? Thats pretty crazy to say the least.

And yes, I took it out sunday night, fedex’d it monday morning and got it back this morning. Excellent turnaround and service on JHMs part for sure. I tried to minimize downtime as much as possible since the car is my dd.

Don’t worry, for all of us with JHM tunes we know you are not exaggerating. ;D

In case it helps anyone in the future with the original issue, I took my dremel and cut one thick, deep slot in each of the two bolt heads securing the chastity belt, used a large flathead screwdriver to unscrew them, and went out and bought a pair of stainless allen head bolts to replace them. Stock look unless you look closely, and easy access ever since. And at least down here in Florida, we do love easy access :wink:
