Pretty ballsy comment by this dude from TAG Motorsports...

B8 S4
#21

Yep. Several years of multiple S4s using Strat/Roc-Euro at the limit of performance with success and all of a sudden the new GIAC S2 with DSG comes out and some people report problems.

FWIW, my guess is there is an isolated set of extreme IAT/Humidity conditions that didn’t necessarily get replicated in road testing of the GIAC S2 tune w/ DSG tune and it happens to trigger a problem using an open element intake. Either product is probably fine by itself, and in cooler weather. That the one poster mentioned that it flared up when he revved at a stop would lead me to believe it is indeed a heat related issue only present when both the GIAC tune and open element are combined as the air isn’t flowing well when the car isn’t moving.

Very good points… Oh and love your reply on Vendorzine… One change would be that the top 4 fastest cars run APR! LOL

Come on Arin I need a DSG tune or blower soon ;D

#23

I’ve put 3K miles on my stage 2 car with Roc-Euro.

I even cleaned the filter somewhere in the middle of that.

No CEL’s or issues, and have driven in 105 degree dry to heat to 95 degree gold bond humid heat.

Fuck why are we talking about intakes again!? lol

#24

I have to say congrats to you guys for calling out that guy from TAG. About 5 of you made it very clear that he’s fooling nobody and that this behaviour just isn’t acceptable.

The B8 S4 section turned tough REAL quick. The B6/7 section was getting raped by guys like this for years before everyone had a revolution of sorts.

#25

^^ actually thnx for saying that. I’ve been wondering how most everyone in that thread could ignore the blatant lies that Alex told (think he changed his story about 3 times in 3 hours). In fact I was criticized for calling him out on it.

#26

Enjoyed the butt dyno post. I want one!

#27

Yeah clochner there are people who can’t bear to see anyone get called out no matter what the story is. They’re like the broad who tries to stop the two huge guys from fighting at the bar even though she has no idea why they’re fighting. “Stop! Stop!”

Further they all think you’re calling him out for saying that their code went away when they swapped it out. You’re not.

You’re calling him out for saying

  1. We suggest the AWE s flo which makes more power (etc)

  2. One of our customers went from roc euro to stock and thought it was faster stock

  3. The roc euro intake caused the cel (there are many variables and rightly as mentioned above, it may even be the giac in concert with an open element filter .

Both of these have fuck all to do with anything…and are just shameless plugs.

Responded.

#29

Oh man, this is going to be fun… ;D

#30

That kinda ends the entire conversation with one sentence. I’ve always been a fan of Arin, and how he handles stuff like this on the net.

#32

Can’t wait for blazeblunts and stereodude to go ballistic over Arin’s comment

#33

Posting screenshot of my comment here, as I am expecting Anthony to delete it…

I give it 2 hours.

PS: You been seeing that blackhawk helicopter circling over the city? It was about 40 ft off my roof at one point.

#35

I live on the 45th floor in River North - feel like it’s right outside my windows. Gotta be something with Obama. I’ve seen these helicopters before. [thumbs down]

#36

Looks like they deleted the posts.

#37

TAG > APR? J/K… Seriously though is Anthony that stupid… Never mind I already know the answer to that… I’d complain Arin… Why are you censored? Did you get an infraction? Lol

#38

I’m betting cloch did… That would be even ballsier of them to give APR an infraction. Pretty sure APR would be a-o-k without Audizine. Don’t think AZ would fare too well without APR though…

#39

Arin has no real grounds to complain lol. He was having a go and flaming TAG (justifiably, but it’s still flaming).

Funny all around, that thread is.

Now…you guys couldn’t get a photo of a blackhawk helicopter that was 40 feet from you? You rocking OG blackberrys or something?

Unfortunately no. I kept trying to but I would miss it by a second. But I have one better for you… Blue Angels during the air show last summer flying over our roof

I’m assuming the blackhawk stuff will go on for a while. I think it has something to do with them filming Transformers 10 or whatever the hell they are on now. Last summer right before NATO there were some drills in Chicago involving a lot of military helicopters. It was pretty wild (not my video).
