I was waiting for the burger tune, but due to the lovely state of California they won't let them send it here.....
Do you think that's going to stop me?! LOL

Sounds great.
A bit on the expensive side though.
Unfortunately, it's not likely that Audi will step up and actually correct their pathetic tuning of what is and should be a fantastic auto trans.
I had this AT in my '12 335i Msport and the improved ZF 8AT in the '16 340i Msport.
In both of those cars the ZF was MUCH better, and sublime and fantastic in the 340i Msport.
If any were to judge the ZF 8AT on just the S4, they would be left with a bad impression.
Yes, it's SLOW in D mode, and S is only a slight improvement.
S mode feels almost like regular D in the BMWs, but you get all 8 gears in the BMW.
S in the BMW is truly a much better "sport" mode than what Audi thinks it should be.

I just published what I am calling the Deluxe Tuning Combo for the S cars. This includes the TCU+ Transmission Tuner and the Powercontrol Engine Tuner. This puts both into a package that will save you over $200 off the list price for both.
Hop on over and get your S car running the way it should have come from Audi. The response here can't lie. Just ask anyone about the response from the DTE tuner, the TCU+ and most of all, our customer service.
Let me know how we can be of service to you.

I just got the Dragy (dragy - GPS Based Performance Meter - Free Shipping in USA) unit in to validate some of the mods I'm making. This thing is a lot of fun to play with.
0-60: 4.35s , 4.44s (at around 71F)
Only thing I have in there is an intake. Intercooler coming next week. I'l have it down in the 3s range by end of year.
I'll post a video of the pulls when it doesn't have my name on them (lol), bonehead mistake on my end.

Hey @Aaron@DTE
How does the TCU+ tune interact with a full ECU tune such as APR or Revo?
Do they place nice together? Has anyone installed both (maybe on an A4 or S3)?

Most likely the tune. I do have one question for you Aaron.
One thing I've noticed with the TCU+ is when I slam the accelerator and it's at red line it seems to dwell for a quick period at the top of the rpm. Rather than a quick transition from 6500rpm to next gear it has a quick dwell. Was it tuned this way?
