From 1K to 3K RPM no noticeable difference. But then right around 3000 the car just seems to explode into a BEAST!! Totally smooth power all the way through, no 'hiccups' of any sort. My car really sounds like it is screaming and it's kinda scary since I've never heard it make noises like that before. A few questions though:
- Has turbo lag increased? I ask b/c I never noticed such a dramatic shift b/w no power and SUPER power at the beginning of 1st gear, then a split second at the start of 2nd.
- When I get off the gas for a second (not WOT, just steady) I feel a very slight 'thud', kinda like an finicky automatic tranny downshifts (even though I have a 6-spd). Does anyone know what this is?

get a driveline stabilizer and most of it goes away.

You need to do a VAG ADP via DataBlock 060 will smooth out the acceleration greatly!

As for the thud..time for a DriveLine Stabilizer..very common even in the stock S4.

the sound of your warranty as it dissappears from your car! or maybe a snub mount?

Great info thanks! Modding is def a vicious circle...

Get an exhaust to get rid of the sandblaster sound.

Try the AWE DTS. That's exactly what it's designed to remedy.

S4 8 a M, not

AWE DTS and snub mount is in order for you

it's quite apparent in my stock 6-speed too.

YES! You have to watch the X-files now. That's the price you pay for boost , Scully.
