I don't think this add looks too reputable, but the concept makes sense, and if you can dial it in or out you can actually see if it works.

Does anyone know of anybody who has tried this on an A8 or another audi vehicle?

P.S. Sounds like a project for Paul to try one out for $50 and determine if it works and is safe and reliable. Then he can repackage a kit with the usual PaulW writeup and pictures, and then we can all buy them for $100+ and call it an Audi Pages "Certified" product. We would then all want to have one, and as well have peace of mind knowing that it came from Paul. Sounds like a good business proposal eh Paul....... or maybe just an imaginative thought.

Default And damit audi must have lied to us when they said 300 hp and I could have sworn we had more .......

than 182.3 lb-ft of torque! I guess we were all taken for a ride, and I feel so much better knowing now that it is only 206 hp at 6100 rpm and 182.3 lb-ft at 4250 rpm. I had better get this little pong controler quick so I can keep up with a honda civic!

lol, wow. If you are gonna try to get $$ from people in a less than honest way, at least do SOME research.
