[s-cars] Picked up my S4, have a few questions...

[calvinlc at earthlink.net]

I have seen others with test results saying the stock MAF is good up to
North of 400 HP, if I recall correctly, so with just an RS2 setup it should
be fine.

If the car doesn't pull really hard I would definitely suspect something
isn't right.  I would think the TAP software is a good place to start from
what I know of them.  I also have Steve Eiche's software in my '92 and it
works great.

Well, picked it up and I've driven it a little more than halfway home from
Cali.  I stopped in SLC to watch the ALMS race.

Have a few questions about the car...

#1  It has euro headlites, which are still incredibly weak.  I don't think
there's a relay harness in the car for them, is it worth doing that with
higher wattage bulbs, or just adding HID's?

#2  Where can I find exterior door handles?  Both the passenger side door
handles are on their last legs.

#3  The car has a complete RS2 package with the exception of the RS2 MAF.
(it has the EM, turbo, injectors and cam)  Is it worth spending the $450 for
the RS2 MAF?  Does it add that much more performance?  Where can I buy one
and are they really $450?

#4  The car doesn't have the pull that I expected.  It boosts up fine and
spools when I expect,. but doesn't seem to pull.  My first suspicion is the
current TAP software in the car, as well as an aftermarket cat, both of
which I plan on replacing/removing.  I also plan to replace the bpv.  Is
there anything else I should be looking into?

#5  I plan on replacing the software ASAP.  This kinda dovetails into my MAF
question.  Should I get the software on the stock MAF, or just complete the
RS2 package then get the software?  What software is recommended now?  I was
thinking Eiche, as he's local to me, but I'd like to hear opinions...

#6  Car has Big Red's up front with A8 rotors.  Can I switch to a 2 peice
rotor system up front and still fit the stock Fuchs?

Got 25mpg on the drive so far, with the AC blasting and it being 103 degrees
out and I wasn't going slow!  Was cruising between 85-105 mph most of the
way...
