I rode in and drove someone else's S4 for the first time tonight. It was enlightening.
I helped ToastyK04s install his APR Stg III fueling with a pocketknife, the screwdriver in the S4's toolkit, a paperclip and a safety pin. It's amazing how I went from a slick pro mechanic to a slowpoke with bleeding hands without the right tools.
A couple of observations: S4s feel way faster from the passenger's seat. I'd never sat in stock S4 seats before and have to say I prefer my alcantara Milanos to stockers. Joel's engine is just as loud at idle as mine is so that is a great load off my mind. His LLtek gearbox is a great asset and makes his car much quicker when a 1-2 shift is involved than mine ever was.
There was some confusion as to which MAF his car came with before we began so we ended up having to drive it without the maf plugged in. The APR stg III software seems to work well without a maf but I expect to see major improvement once we get it wired up. If anyone has a Bosch maf connector, let me know, I want it.
