Have had it switched (SEE FAQ in Tech Section or on my site) since 8/00

The answer was to add a switch to enable or diable relay 605. It works great and saves you the trouble of removing/ replacing the relay when you want or don't want the boost.<ul><li><a href="http://users.ev1.net/~rscsaab/audi/myaudi.htm">My Audi Site</a></li></ul>

Was a bit restless tonight- so I finally did it. Took about 40 minutes since....
I thought I misaligned it the first time, but came to find out it was fine to begin with. Since it was past 12, I decided to take out for a test drive.....
1st Impressions-
Slow speeds- well, not much boost, reminds me of karting last week.
City speeds- not bad. About what I expected
Highway Speed- Nice. It's weird, you think it, and with a slight input it gets done.
High-speed twisties- It's going to take some time to get used to. Sometimes the inputs came up short or long. Meaning I would have to increase the "sharpness" of the turn to come around. But of the 6 miles of twisties- the last 3 were the best, and most comfortable.
So now that light steering appears to be taken care of, I have to do something about the tire/wheels. Having winter tires on the OEM PSK wheels doesn't do it justice.
Cheers,
ERT
