Hello,

I've been reading these forums for quite some time now and decided to ask advise on a problem I'm having with a new PES Supercharger install. I have a 2003 A4 Avant with a V6 3.0 engine and Tiptronic transmission. I just got it back from the guys at PES Tuning after having their G3 supercharger installed. Now the car is barely driveable. The trans bucks and seems to slam between gears, while shifting, at medium to full throttle. I thought it might be a timing issue (spark knock at low RPM) so I regapped the plugs this morning. When I talked to the guys at PES, they said that optimum plug gap is between 0.032"-0.035". They were at 0.040" now they're at 0.034". They were wet and the insulator was brown. Before the install, I changed the plugs and the old ones were nice and dry and had a nice color. It runs a bit smoother at low RPM now that I've regapped them but the tranny is still running wild. Once it is up to top gear, in cruising speed, it runs nice and strong. Just getting there through the gears is is hell. I'm taking it back to the guys at PES today for a "retune" but wanted to get a second opinion. Anyone out there with any answers, please help!

Thanks in advance,
Charles

 

well first of all congrats on the purchase. i think so of the bucking would come from the mre power that the engine is delivering after the gear shifts. ask the guys if they can some how tune the ur tranny module.

 

i wouldn't be shifting at full throttle with a tip while running a 3.0 with a super charger, but thats just me i guess.

 

can a tip thats not stage 10 handle that hp?

 

I made a suggestion in your other thread in the supercharger section. Why the cross-post?

 

Pretty sure. I think you only have to go stage 10 when you start doing internals.

 

tip's cant handle superchargers.

 

See if you can get a retune.

Does anyone have the limits that his transmission will hold?

 

Its called level 10

yeah i knew that didnt sound right, but yeah, level ten, your cant really do more then high 2's for hp
