New to me B8

B8 S4
#81

I agree with DSG tuning being crappy on 2010 in my case. Especially 1-2 programming. But I don’t think it’s a hindrance at the dragstrip. Having more clutch pressure can’t be a bad thing, eliminating that consistent clutch slip on 2-3 shifts when WOT would be good, and a true manual mode and launch control would be neat.

But they must have flashed something new last time in my car. The latest update holds temporary M mode for a long time, sometimes up to 30 sec, and also holds a gear a lot longer in S mode if I went WOT in the previous 30 seconds or so.

I’d like to hear more about the Al exhaust!

High temp Al serves 2 purposes. 1) It is extremely lightweight compared to other suitable materials 2) it has a deeper/softer/less rasp than stainless or even Ti.

Here are the 316 headers he made for my A6 Single turbo project

interesting. That means either

  1. they aren’t doing anything for the B8
  2. they already have one

:slight_smile:

#84

They do not currently own one, therefore they are not in development until they do

#85

Pretty welds! Ya I keep seeing people use tri-clamps instead of v-band clamps. Some say they are stronger. Hmmmm.

#86

They are definitely in development. I was there in December. They are planning a bunch of B8 S4 stuff.

#87

I specifically asked about a tune, Drew said they currently do not have one developed, he cited their lack of B8 S4 ownership as the reason for not having a tune developed. This made a lot of sense to me. I would love to see what JHM will do with this platform.

Roc-euro intake arrived yesterday, easy 10min. Install. The supercharger whine is growing on me, my 6yr old son gets a shit eating grin when I go WOT
