ok so it has been a few weeks and I wanted to get you guys the the review and feed back on my file. This has been the best thing you can do for the car. This is a night and day difference. it dose not matter 4.2 or 2.7 this is the best thing you can do to your tip. The video dose not do a good job of showing you the real quickness in the shift. but you can clearly see it shifts faster and there is no loop in the shift

review. The trans program seems to learn over the week or so. The trans seems to shift faster and harder over time. I was able to switch back to the stock trans file and I didn't even want to drive the car with the stock trans program. the car is just transformed and with the small changes made to the ECU the car is WAY more sporty than originaly. this combo makes the car more of a B6 S4 with the A6 lux option

I wanted to thank P&K for the video help. I had lots of footage that didn't make it in the video because of talking....lastly thank the guys at vast. They took my calls my E mails and all my suggestions. They made many changes that I asked for and were way helpfull and just as excited as I was about the car

enjoy the video.....as a last note...the exhaust is not that loud in the car I put down both the seats to get more in car noise so you could hear the shifting

Now that kicks a$$! I have been looking for an A6 and was having a problem choosing between 2.7t and 4.2. I think this has just made up my mind. As soon as the IRS pulls it's head out of it's a$$ and I get my tax return I'll be buying a A6 4.2.

Thank you so much for sharing!

Very Nice! Congrats! Sometimes it pays dividends to be the guinnea pig.

OMG dude, that's only with the TCU file?!

**edit: nevermind, i just saw you had the ECU file also, but did you have that in the video? i'm just curious because i'm going up to vast on thursday to get both of those things done.**

The ECU at the time just had the TQ limmitations removed and the extended REV limmit. now the car has the stage 3 tune in the ECU it is crazy how much power is hidden in the ECU and TCU. I have the Stage 3 ECU tune in but if you are a 2001+ car you need to get piggies done. As the 2001+ cars have 4 cats as the 2000 only has 2. I still don't have the piggies but I told the vast guys I know I need them and I will have them do it. I just love the difference in the stage 3 tune from the stage 2 tune. The throttle is super responcive and the car responds to the slightest touch of the throttle. The stage 2 was nice and made good power but for me the stage 3 ECU tune was just too much like driving a sports car had to have.

Please let me know how it goes thurs. you will have a blast the vast guys are super cool

sounds awesome, i'll probably end up getting the same thing that you have done. especially because i just sold my cobra, so i need something that'll scoot pretty good on the highway. anways, what exactly did they do to your exhaust to make it sound like that? i'd just like to know because i think i'd like to have the same thing done. god, it's a good thing we don't live in the same city, people would def call copycat on that one, lol.

i thought of something else to ask. how has your fuel mileage changed? prince was telling me that it'd probably actually increase mine a little bit, but i'm curious if that's really the case, or if in reality it drops the fuel mileage just like almost every performance mod.

very nice, gotta get my TCU done.

Uh...does it "sound like" it's making power over 7200 rpm?...

Not a fan of the exhaust, but I bet it's a fun-er ride. My mileage is getting up there, but if I keep mine I'm thinking of getting the tunes, or at least the tip tune. Thanks for posting up the results, kudos to VAST for helping add a finer edge to the 4.2

Your car sounds great. I love the part where the car is coming at the camera. you can really hear the motor working and the car you can completely see the body shift with the weight transfer. I love the video I must have watched the video 10 times. It is on a tare sounds like you could have kept revving it. I take my car to 8000 and it kept pulling more air from the MAF witch tells you the motor is still taking in more air for power

congrats

Awsome video! You Vastperformance guys are in Michigan right? I live in northern Indiana and need to vist you guys sometime. GREAT WORK!!!

i'll tell you what limen, i say screw getting that s6 avant, and just hit the guys at vast up. that's exactly what i'm gona do. i'm scheduled in there march 6th, this thursday. i'll def have to let you check out how much of a difference it makes when i get back to the fort, haha.

What stage are you getting? are you doing any thing else why you are up there

honestly i probably won't know til i get up there and actually start into it. i want to make as much power as possible without having to do much else to the car, so that's my goal, so whatever it takes to do that.

Great! I can't wait to see what they can do to the 4.2 in person! I'll prolly end up going to Vast too.

I deffinintly love my car more now. I would highly suggest talking to the VAST guys. I deffinitly thought the drive and the time money spent were well worth it

ditto on that, i just got back from there about 30 minutes ago. i just posted another topic about it.

I am convinced! Ok, so I have a 2001 A6 4.2 but don't know where to begin for this mod. How do I start to do what you did to you car with the ECU and TCU mods? I don't live anywhere near you guys but I have a great Audi mechanic that specializes in moding. What do I have to tell him to do this?

Help me go faster with more fun guys!

www.vastperformance.com (http://www.vastperformance.com) click and E mail the tech section let them know you have a 4.2l and you are looking for chips and performance parts. This is the way to start

^^^---that, and then after you talk to them about it, they'll probably have you pull your ECU and TCU and ship them to them if you don't live anywhere close. that way they can work their magic and ship them back to you. then you plug them in, and you're done!

Deffinitly going to make you glad you did it. the car really turns into a more exciting version of what you have. The performance from the ECU is great as it is. Add the tip file and it is a new car all over again!

I have to say this reinvented the 4.2 for me. I have always loved the car but now it is fun I love driving it.

I have no idea how to take those things out of my car.

I cant wait to drive up to these guys and get the same setup as yours done! My question is, did the stage 2 TCU and Stage 3 ECU improve the launch of our cars? I mean I know nothing drastic can really be done due to the weight of the car but I would think those 2, along withthe exhaust,piggies and intake would make a noticable difference.

I just watched the videos on VATS's index.... omfg. That one silver S4 is freakin psycho.

I like the ECU/TCU upgrades, but what exhaust is that? Sounds pretty good.

the "super open" VAST exhaust.

WHAT UP YO! just wanted to stop by and give my boy some support.
