I would suggest test driving with audi service foreman so that he feels the same thing. I dont think audi service will provide much help if you simply say that turbos are not kicking in.

I don't feel a "kick".The car really starts to accelerate hard above 3500rpm. Keep in mind that it is chipped, but it did the same thing with less fury before it was chipped. I've run it with mid-range and premium and there was been no noticeable difference in the acceleration.

Yeah I notice the kick at about 3500 too. I re-coded so I love to let it trickle of the line and then nail it at 3500 in first and your gone! I don't get thrown back though like some GIAC users talk about, but its pretty quick!

its normal that you aren't gonna feel any kick in....well..theres 2 turbo and small....if you are driving a s2k with huge turbo~ then you gonna feel it~ as for you feeling about a lag when u gun it...wel i think every car have certain delay...from the fuel mix with air then spray into the cylinder then compress then ignite then BOOM there should b some delay...same for my honda..oh and we got Quattro so it kinda give it a bit more delay i think...run 91+ btw~ nothing to worry about~

i run 91+ with stock ecu and when you give it 3 quarters throttle under 30mph you can feel a huge surge of energy.

i would venture to say your turbos are bad. Dentist drill sound is a bad thing. Is it worse when your engine is cold?
