Each one hour session will cost $200USD (this includes special $35  fee to 
set up Audi's because they are "more difficult to strap down" (is  this true 
by the way?), special fee for using their AWD dyno, and special  fee for 
selecting the Air Fuel Ratio monitoring option)
 
I would suggest you get a price for 3 pulls.  No value to doing more  without 
making changes to the car.  No, it isn't hard to strap down.   Our local dyno 
charges $60 to set up and do 3 pulls.

200 x 3 = 600 samoleans, thats alot of cabbage  for me
 
 
Yeah... need to renegotiate.
 
 

Ass  1
I shouldn't see any peak increase in HP/Torque numbers due to the FMIC  
install, as the first pull, when the car is the coldest or should I say,  
the intercooler is the coolest, should be the same with either the stock  IC 
or the FMIC. The FMIC only helps keep the power Mihnea already  programmed 
into the ECU a bit longer, hopefully alot longer. Is this  right?
 
You will see a peak increase, but you will also see less of a change  between 
runs.

In order to see hp/torque gains with the new FMIC, I'll need to  have Mihnea 
re-tune the software with the FMIC in mind, as I hopefully  won't see 
"ridiculous intake temps, we better back off" - Mihnea Cotet as  before. 
Crazy?
 
 
Well... no comment.
 
 


What do you all think? Is this a big waste of  cabbage?





I never think testing is a waste.  But get it down to a reasonable  price.
HTH,
