<O>The IA mod works on the exsisting computer pertty darn well if you ask me and
<O>I did'nt need to adjust my spring  (Yea right Scott... But I'd have to kill
<O>ya!!) PLUS my dash gauge still works and reads my current pressure.  I also
<O>like the fact that I can feel the car yanking back on the timing when I get a
<O>tank of, Ahem "Lower Octane Gas" (said under my breath) and there's still
<O>that pesky rev-limiter that helps to prevent damage to some "really hard to
<O>get to expensive german parts"
<O>
<O>My humble suggestion is that everyone whom wants to do a computer mod do some
<O>research on just how exactly Audi is using that wastegate to control boost
<O>pressure...

I THINK what's going on here is that the 5KCST cars have a computer controllable
wastegate, whereas the UrQ application which the TAP guy was primarily referring
to has a purely mechanical wastegate which must therefore be tweaked mechanically
as opposed to the 5KCSTQ where the computer can be tweaked to change the way it
controls the WG.

Confirmation anyone?
