Been brought up lots of times. No '02 A4's on their website; nobody's tried 'em.

Default testimonial from their website... '00 A4

I got my coils Friday and put them in as soon as I got off of work then went out driving to test them all night, not only did they improve pull throughout the whole rev range(low, mid, and high end) they also improved my gas mileage enormously (about 40-50 more miles per tank). I am going to recommend these coils to everyone I know, and believe me you are going to get a few orders from the east coast (I'll have them call you directly) I like putting things into the car that let feel that I got the most bang for my buck and your coils made me and my friends go "WOW". I'm sending along a picture of my car*. Please have anyone with an Audi that is spectacle email me and I'll set them straight!

Default Lots of "testimonials" on Tornado website, too. Did you know "gullible" isn't in the dictionary? :)

Again, no '02 users here have tried them and reported their findings. Also, no independent reliable tests so far. If you can link to any of those, that would be much more valuable.

Default The point was that it has been done to an A4. I am far from recommending it (more)

According to Webster's dict. "gullible" is the adj. of the verb "gull" :-)


Gullible?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A freshmen at Eagle Rock Junior High Won first prize at the Greater Idoho Falls science fair. He was attempting to show how conditioned we have become to alarmists practicing junk science and spreading fear of everything in our enviroment. In his project he urged people to sign a petition demanding strict control or total elemination of the chemical "dihydrogen monoxide" and for plenty of good reasons since:

1.) it can cause excessive sweating and vomiting
2.) it is a major component in acid rain
3.) it can cause severe burns in it's gaseous state
4.) accidenntal inhalation can kill you
5.) it decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes
6.) it contributes to erosion
7.) it has been founnd in tumors of terminal cancer patients

50 people were asked to sign. 46 people signed to ban it. 3 were undecided and only one person realized it was water.

Default The point in saying it's not in the dictionary is to make the person look it up. :)

The 2002 A4 coil packs have different electronics than previous MY's.
