Yeah makes sure you get the Dv's because they have a noticable diffrence. I might get the vast TBB because its cheaper, but does anyone have ths one?

I dont beat it everytime i drive it but i have a manual boost controller and its cranked up pretty high when im fooling around lol ... the old TBB was starting to crack i noticed when i removed it. im not sure vasts is any different then samco ... id assume that they model after each other because it is a stock part ... let me know how you like the vast if you get it

RE: 2001 a6 2.7T Tiptronic NEED HELP WITH MODS
today on my up to N Va i had a chance to visit the APR guys.. I would have to say so far I am in the middle on the upgrade. I am still unsure after a full day of driving about the upgrade. Although i would have to say i was driving fairly high speeds. I would notice the torque/power but saw around 3/4 rpm the car almost I wouldn't say slips but catches for the extra power. I don't know if this is common or if i should visit the APR guys on the way back. Aswell what type of boost controller do you have? How high can you set it ? ect.

You can't get the MBC to work with the APR there are only 2 companys who's tuning will allow you to run the MBC

VAST
GIAC
the other tuners have less agressive tunes and the car will go into limp mode

Hey guys, i had the chance while going on vacation to get the APR chip put in my car. The car isn't agressive but still has the power . I really like how the torque is right around the same level and the horse power is still great. I got 2 diverters aswell which are making my turbos hit amazing. I didn't go for the APR diverter because i heard they are a tiny bit shaky. I was wondering guys... What is next? KO4? What other mods can I had for that extra HP! Please help me!!
