Default 1.5 Bar

After reading some tips at audifans, I modified the wastegate spring and have gone from 1.2 bar to 1.5 bar. Much better :-). Unfortunately yet another driver's side door handle busted today. I'd like to know who the idiot engineeer was that thought making a door handle primarily out of plastic was a good idea. Back to the junk yard.

Default A group of engineers commonly know to Audi nerds as "team doorhandle"

The design is so bad that it's almost funny...

VW and Porsche used similar door handles.
With a slight modification you can use the VW Rabbit mechanical part in your Audi door handle
