Default Relay 605

Ok...question. What's the dealio with everyone removing the Relay 605? I've noticed that many of you have done this (due to the auto sigs) and was wondering what the advantage was...

Default Reduces the overboost of the power steering--much better road feel and -->

stability--more directional at high speed cruising. Easy job to remove so you can try it with and without.

Ahh...I see, so it's easy to get to? and I'm assuming it won't effect the warranty...

Default Easy to get to. Removes all boost. Compromise: insert the 2002 version, called 628...

That is what I did. Stiffer at high speed, smooth at low speed, and better consistency than the older 605 unit. Cost is below retail (which is about $146), from Ralf at sales@theracestore.com, or other Audi parts sources for full retail.

I think this message summarizes many links and info:

Stoney,
Your report implies that there's some sort of speed feedback into the relay. Is that true???

If it's really a relay, I would think it just turns boost on or off. Not trying to be argumentative, just curious and trying to understand the electronics/mechanics of it all.

In either case, sounds like it might be worth a try.

Jeff
