Check it out fellas, not sure if its a re-post, but might be helpful for us AWD folks

Yeah this was floating around the forums for the past couple of weeks. A lot of the A4 guys were debating about it.

The first video of the 2-step was only building about 3 psi. So it didn't seem to hot.

[Pete@IE]

Ya, we tested it on our mk4 gti as you see in the video above, right before we went on vacation.

I need to do a little more tinkering and see if it is possible to build some more boost. We are going to verify our boost control is doing the maximum possible and check the throttle is open 100% when we return.

Getting it to do the actual 2 step out of the ecu- as in the actual rev limiter- might also end up putting the ecu into some unused portions of the map (how often do you drive at 0 roadspeed, 5k rpm's constant, WOT????) that might allow timing retard and additional fuel to be added without effecting the regular operation of the car. There are also some misfire maps in the ecu that may be able to be tweaked.

So, in short we think with a bit of help from the software boys (unitronic in our case) we may be able to build some real boost.

Any way you cut it, this is a LOT easier then trying to watch a tree and a tach at the same time and it should do a lot for consistancy even if it doesn't turn out to be the end all as far as building boost.

Didn't know you guys were in cahoots with Unitronics, pretty cool.

[AudiA4_20T]

I have a box waiting to go into my B6, just a matter of time

[Pete@IE]

We aren't really in cahoots so to speak :p

We just have been long time unitronics users and odviously we know them now from just being in the industry. We are on vacation right now in their backyard so we met up with don from uni and were chatting it up. It'll be interesting to see where this takes us.

still 3 psi of boost off the line with our cars would be great...I mean if people want to blast from a stop light at 15psi that's their problem. I think 5-8psi would be great for the 2.7T

[rcjustin]

wonder if that wot box could go into our cars as simple as that gti. I would think w just need to find the right wires and it would work?

[Don Supreme]

They are looking for an S4 in Florida to try it out on....

[generationjdm]

I use to Wot shift my turbo honda back in the day all the time, when doing it right you cant even tell the car shifted gears at all, and like the ad said if your not lightening fast get ready for a new tranny for sure...

[S4evr]

so is this available for the b5 s4?

[rcjustin]

i usd to WOT shift the s4 when i had the stock clutch and knew it was time for the new one to go in. Never missed a gear doin it luckily but i def improves times. I would rally want this more for the 2 step though.

[Pete@IE]

AFAIK they are either testing it on a B5 or testing is complete and they will have instructions out shortly. I can tell you with almost 100% certainty that it will work on b5 s4.

You guys better do this, and post a video of what it sounds like a gt's car :evil:

[rcjustin]

i emailed them before about it and they said they would be interested in working with me on this and asked what motor i have(even though i said 2000 audi s4). Hopefully this does come out for us.

do it up, Jon and Jay are great and they will walk you through it- they can pull up the wiring diagrams and get the wire colors, plus they probably already know them pretty much since I know they have some B5 1.8t test cars around anyways.

Its a piece of cake, basically what you do is unravel the wiring harness for the coils, cut the main power wires to the coils (probably black with a purple stripe), and solder them to the WOT box. Then you just tap an injector lead, the clutch switch, and the gas pedal. So really there are 5 connections you need to make and then you need to wrap the harness back up with some friction tape for a nice OEM look.

How do you order? I don't see it on the integrated site.

It's only available for the SRT-4 at this point, not a S4.

Stay tuned...

[GramCracker]

Stay tuned...

Haha, get it?

[Das General]

I asked them if they wanted me to be their test S4. I gave them the speel about having a built and motor and single turbo setup. And all they asked for was a deposit. = /

[Pete@IE]

I'm afraid thats standard fair these days due to the number of flakes around. They will refund it in full when you get them the pictures of the install they need for their manual.

[Rated S]

Haha, get it?

I GET IT. Oh, jesus that's funny.

[rouellettea4]

I still don't get it, but yaaaaa.
