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......<<<<<<<


Not totally true, but at the same token, he did not differentiate between the
diffferent apps, and he should have, given his "educated net" statement.....
 The 5kt can be controlled to some extent with the computer, but not
exclusively, I have the adjustable wastegate mods on my 5ktq, and know that
the description he gave for the wastegate preload doesn't apply at all to
anything but the early q's....  But, at the same token it's not totally
inaccurate, given what he's asking you to do,  it's interesting however, that
in the IA stage I and Stage II apps, NO adjustment to the Wastegate Spring
Preload is required, just a nice option.........    Too many omissions sounds
like a sell to me....  And the "total audi performance needs" and the
"disclaimer" at the bottom of the post makes me think there is more sell than
fact here, and given my education on these mods, my scepticism of this
upgrade remains pretty well reinforced, and that's scary when you think of
who wrote the tech letter........
