The cheaper alternative

A 710n is a good dv, but it still is a stock dv and has held good numbers and failed on far less. You will get mixed reviews about this. But it holds a 225's boost just fine and that is about what you will be making with a few more mods

Just didn't want to lose this thread. Plan on doing this during the week. Just installed my 710N, freakin' one clamp was so hard to get off...Been following this method through the TT section and the other forums. I just got my car recently, did all the belts and most maintanence. Had them throw on the snub mount during the install ( Feels a little more solid now). Just got done installing my Self Powered Sub and my DV in the same day. Now Im amped to keep working on the 'project'. I <3 my audi, just want it to grow some more *****.

Just wondering if I have to solder the diode on, I haven't seen the diode yet so maybe I'll get it then but...Can I just connect it some other less perminient way?

And was wondering if anyone in San Diego see's this post and has a vagcom if they could help me out while i do this so I can monitor my afr.

Soldering isnt perminate, just taking the iron back to the wire will remelt the lead and you can remove it...... takes 2 seconds. You can try wrapping it around the wire, but that worries me personally. Plus if you need to find the link, its in my sig, just click TT or A4 for what version you want to see

would it be more benificial to use a 4.7v instead of a 4.3? should i upgrade to a 5 bar fpr to reducethe leana/f ratios? or should i just use lemmiwinks to adjust the fuel? what about bigger injectors TT 225? larger maf?what about colder plugs?

the car will adjust the fuel for itself as long as you don't go to high in boost. no need to adjust fuel with lemmi however you will want to adjust your timing some

you can only use a 4.3v diode
you wont need to do any fueling changes for 18psi
If you have access to vag (real cable) you can watch the a/f and adjust accordinly if you wish
injectors and maf are overkill for a stock turbo
colder plugs arent a must, but can help, but youneed togap the plugs down to .028 when you do this
