U4IC

Does everyone still agree with the data in this thread? I just ran against my buddy's 04 GLI (stock) and we were pretty much dead even ( I went close to redline on every shift).

I was expecting to be pulling on him at least after 2nd gear because of the chipping but no such luck. So, I figured because of the hp/tq differences, there is probably a better methodology for shifting. This is the best I could find from a search...

1-2 shift at ~6530 rpm (~33.5 mph)
2-3 shift at ~6400 rpm (~57 mph)
3-4 shift at ~6030 rpm (~81.7 mph)
4-5 shift at ~5850 rpm (~104 mph)

This also bares the question, are gears 1-5 the same in a 5sp vs. 6spd? This graph was apparently drawn up for 5spds. Also, is the gearing different for FrontTrak vs. Quattro?

Thanks guys!<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/196642.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/196642.phtml</a</li></ul>

out of steam around 5500rpm. I know people have addressed this before, and came up with shift points starting at redline in 1st and moving toward the mid-5000rpms in high gears, IIRC.

I notiched tonight that the APR program allows me to exceed the factory rev limiter. I had a buddy that chipped an M coupe and started having motor problems. He went to the dealership and they found a code indicating an over-rev, and they promptly denied his warranty claim and they exchanged fingers.

Can we expect the same thing from our ECU logging?

For the 1-2 shift I'm at 6k, then for the rest I'm around 5500. I don't know if this is best or not

You are at maximum torque after the shift.
In these cars, that does NOT mean a redline shift. It will take some work to figure out...

at third and up.
