Bondga, what are you using lemmiwinks for?

 

You MUST gap them to .028 regardless of heat range. He usues it to add fuel under boost with lemmi.

 

i use lemmi to adjust my ignition timming, Lambda regulation, Idle torque, rpms at idle, and tweak the fuel a little bit

 

and what is a good place to buy these parts??

 

diodes are easy to find on ebay andthen itdepends on the gauge you want and mbc.

 

what do u recomend??? i have a 2000 a4 1.8t im new at this as u can c.. i was in the honda/acura family so big difference.. and all the help i can get i thank u... also i need to change the gaskets from the engine to the manifull... where should i get this and is it easy to do???

 

I like chips... they control and monitor much more than just the boost.

 

I'd rather do it myself then pay someone to tune my car. you can control monitor and more with the diode mod(lemmi+vag/ecu explorer). it all depends on how willing you are to spend the time.

 

Youre probably not getting as much power from the diode mod as you do with a chip. You cant tweak fuel mapping with lemi, and thats one of the most important things in a tune. I know the ecu will adapt somewhat, andyou can enrich fuel under load/at idle and a couple other cool things to the stock fuel maps, but you arent getting as aggressive performance thata real ecu tune gives. But for a 20 cent diode and a little elbow grease, Im sure the gains are worthwhile when compared to the cost.

 

Great easy hp increase.. very interested in doing this (similar to how we fool the MAP sensor when turboing the 420a in the eclipse) however I was wondering if anyone has A/F numbers on an A4. Timing and fuel pressure would be awesome to see as well if anyone has that. I have read through the thread and the the link to the VWvortex site, and no one has posted comoforting numbers for timing, A/F and FP. The A/F readings for the guy in the VWvortex thread are a bit scary..
