Re: Have you ever been scared of your car?

Hi there,

I think 10 psi is the max. boost our fwd auto tranny Audis can handle
(with full synt. ATF and diff oil installed) IMOP, I think 10 psi is very
good enough already, I have no problem surprising those Bimmers and MBs on
the freeway (of course, off the line is another story). Tune the boost
down a little bit and you will have a good time with your Audi for a long
while : )

Q of the day: I wonder if turbo-charged car has the advantage of going up
hill faster when compare to a N/A car with the approximate same hp output,
torque output, and weight? Somehow, I always feel my Audi is going up hill
stronger and faster than other cars on the road (of course not those 300+
hp sport car) ; p
