How hard would it be to change to non DBW???
 

Would I have to totally modify the wiring harness or get a new one? How much money could I do it for? I want a big turbo setup but nobody can tune DBW. I also hate the DBW on the audi, it is so slow to respond. Call me old fashioned but I like a properly sorted out cable operated one better. These darn cars and all their electronic doo dads are ruining everything. Geez

New ECU, new wiring hireness, throttle body, and probably some other stuff I cant think of right now

Should be "easy"
 

If you wanna go stand alone ! Most cost effective on the long run. Adrenalin has already converted a Golf 2001 1.8T DBW to non DBW using TEC3 engine management and a TO4E turbo.<ul><li><a href="http://www.adrenalinmotorsport.com">http://www.adrenalinmotorsport.com</a</li></ul>

Plus pedals, throttle linkage, injectors, and I'm sure there's more yet...

If you're going with a big turbo kit, then you should be OK....
 

If you'll be making your own kit, then good luck on getting a tuned non-DBW chip. I haven't been able to find one.

doesn't GIAC do custom chips?
 

I thought lucas got one for his GT25 setup?

good luck...

AWE's KO4, MTM's KO4, PES's T-28...
 

sounds like at least three really good options there for turbo upgrades.

AWE and PES use GAIC software tuned to their specific kits.

MTM has always been a leader in tuning Audi cars, and their KO4 kit uses their software. Hard to argue with all those Europeans who are buying MTM's stuff. Even Istook/Aines racing team uses MTM for their racing S4... which is DBW, and which just won a race last week IIRC.

Why hassle with trying to design and tune your own big-turbo kit when all these companies who know a lot more about Bosch Motronic than you have already done all the hard work?? Just buy one of these kits and drive away with a smile on your face!

Just my two cents worth....

Throttle response is controlled by the chip in the ecu. Any of the tuners can change the way it
 

works.
