    A5 Cabriolet 2.0T Power?

    Hey everyone-

    I posted over in the tech section but there weren't any thoughts so far....

    I am in Vegas visiting my parents.... got to drive my dad's convertible A5 since he just got Apr software, Intake and AWE exhaust installed. Sounds great and has much more power.

    However, I was noticing that under WOT the car seems to pull a bit to the left, like torque steer. I'm used to FWD tuning from my days of playing with my 1.8t Jetta... so I am very
    used to driving with and compensating for FWD.... but his A5 seems like much more torque steer or shimmying than it should be.

    Has anyone else experienced this or found ways of keeping the power going in a straight line? Alu Kreuz, Sway Bars, or End links?

    Thanks

    Really? no one has experienced anything like this when they do a chip and exhaust?

    it could be an alignment issue, i dont see the chip and exhaust doing that.
