    So I've tried searching..ECP?

    I have been trying to figure out exactly what ECP. Is it some kind of traction control? If so how the hell do I turn it off. I ask because my car bogs down when I launch ~3k. maybe its just driver error. I am used to launching my turbo m3..

    EPC? thats your ECU, and you need to launch higher.

    Unless you have a strong clutch in that A4, don't bother launching it.

    Its got 74k on the stock clutch. It engages high IMO but I have been told thats normal for the a4. I haven't experienced any slippage when I put it through the "tests". The only thing that bothers me about this car is that between shifts at full throttle it seems to surge when I push in the clutch. Never had this problem with the turbo m. Im assuming its something to do with the factory DV
