[audi808a4]

[KareemA4]

Ahhhh... That sucks man!!
What happened?
What's where the symptoms?
Wait, how much power are you putting down?

[GermanAudi]

I hear that going BT kills the CVT tranny. That's why I don't plan on going beyond stage 1+

[Papachristou]

im waiting for this to happen to conroe with all his launching lol

man, this means you will have spent on trannies about what you paid for your car?

the definitintion of insanity, is trying something over and over and expecting a different result each time.

BT is gentler on transmissions than a stage 1/1+/K04 due to lack of tq spike.

[F16HTON]

Lack of torque spike...you are crazy..

[Papachristou]

on Tippys yeah, but it appears the CVT doesnt like anything much over stock

[Tgr_Clw]

Lack of torque spike...you are crazy..

lol. you gotta re-read some of your own post stating the same.

[Capt. Obvious]

Why don't you convert from CVT to a regualar automatic (or TIP) and have it built by Level-10 or something?

[F16HTON]

lol. you gotta re-read some of your own post stating the same.

Does a K04 make 350+ lbs of torque?

[a2gtinut]

CVT does not like extra power in any car. This is why it too so long to get them in cars with bigger engines.
Initially CVTs were used in small (tiny) cars.

[Maverick]

OP, from the thread, I am guessing that someone is covering the 3rd tranny?
if you are paying out of your pocket, I really think you are crazy.

[A4 Moda]

Good job. Let's wait for #4

well, at first it felt like the car was getting sluggish, then rpm's would be jumpy at constant speeds the finally yay! no power to the wheels.
I honestly have no idea how much power i am putting down to the wheels

stg 1+ killed my first tranny dude. the low end has more torque than my BT before 3.5k rpms

it would cost more given i have to get a new ecu, axles, tranny, level 10, misc parts, re-chip blah blah blah...

yep... out of my crying ferragamo im begining to think im crazy too...

[Papachristou]

sorry dude, but i would strip all that shit off that car, fix it, sell it and buy a manual then put it back on if you love it. that would be less work and less money than what you have spent so far...

bro, if 1+ killed a tranny, why the hell would you throw a bT on?

[Nerney]

It's hard as hell to find a manual on anything on Oahu... almost as hard as it is to find a nive VW/AUDI haha everyone just wants one S10 Extreme brah.... I had to settle for a TIP in my 02 GTI when I lived out there.. I miss it out there I'll be back on the 6th :)
