right? lol... JUST messin... sure the older crowd (what's left of us) can get a chuckle out of that...

Also, that RPM setup is basicalyl plug and play the way he has it, which makes installation a boat load easier. Def took me a few hrs to get that puppy wired in when I did it on my car...

damn tailpipes are always black... I'd kill to be able to get mine to burn as cleanly as yours does my man... though I still pull 25-27mpg on the road trips!

My tailpipe's blacker than the Grim Reaper's heart. There you have your weird imagery for the day.

Surely, my engine could stand to run a bit leaner.

Not all the noobs are like that! I still prefer to see 1PissedOff90, UrS4, moribundman, AudiMick, MikTip, etc, writing posts (sorry if I left some of you guys out, but you know who you are). You guys are the final word on anything I have done with my car (barring the stereo &amp; some electronics). From your friendly banter to your technical posts (most of which are way over my head), my A4 and I have benefitted greatly from all of you! I hope a few bad egos and attitudes don't turn you off the forum, as I see some of you are letting your 12Vs go. In the automotive world, as in medicine, experience is a highly valued commodity. I just wish some people would open up their minds, and not feel a need to reply to EVERYTHING, because of some half-*** local mechanic telling them the 'low-down'. I already went through that, and now consult the forum extensively before I take the car to a mechanic. Trust me, you are appreciated!!!!!

I figured it was a few people who tried to throw down with you. It is enjoyable to read the exchanges, and see you prevail with logic and facts, but then I realize how it must feel to deal with some of these people on a regular basis. More power to you, Mance! BTW I knew those 2 screen names, just wanted to let u know I read a lot of your older posts. I just wish most of those still had pictures in them! I can't tell you how much more time I've spent looking for the same. Of course, no one else posts pics like that, so I'm SOL on that.

but im sure the haltech plays a decent role in that.

Is the stock ecu programming really that bad?

Jretal

I'm sure I can't get near that with my OEM stuff.... can I???

Jretal

but yeah, I want good performance oriented running. I remember when you were running the fuel dialer (the ARC-2-NE) you were able to squeeze 28mpg or so when cruising...

oh well, I'll save the gas efficient tuning for the 4000 once I get the Ib setup up and running. I'll have it for 87 octane and 93/race gas I think... that way for the majority of its use I can have a gas efficient beast for the long commutes, etc.
