few a lot stronger after 7500miles.

I really need to get it dyno....don't know how to explain.

I drive mine every day and I alwasy floor on 2nd or 3rd ( on local 2nd ).

But the past few days I realized it pulls harder than before, is very very noticiable, mine is around 7600-7700miles.

Default 7k. now feels stronger from rest but still a bit anemic above 70mph compared to my bimmer

I know apples to oranges... but I'm definitely pleased with how much smoother the engine has become as if it wasn't butter already. In contrast to the V10 in the bimmer which has developed a rougher idle after 10k miles but nothing bad.

Default 10K miles. Mine is significantly stronger. Who has VAG-COM?

We can compare ECU measured torque and horsepower curves between owners with VAG-COM software, and see if the ECU thinks there are any differences.

I've been spending the last few days learning how to use the engine measurement blocks, and have been discovering all sorts of interesting things.

Default i think i'm going to request one for my b-day.

i've been reluctant to buy one, because I know I'll be wasting way to much time fiddling around with it...but I need to get one.

Default I'm such a geek. I've had mine for 2 months and finally connected it this week

Now I'm hooked. I could care less about changing all the cutsie convenience features ... but being able to see how this engine ticks, now that interests me.

Default Ordered my cable upgrade before Xmas but haven't received it yet.

If you can tell me how to do it, I will give you my numbers as soon as I get the new cable.
