Why is no one just using the youtube video? Walks you right through it.

I watched it before we installed a few times but it's a little different than the video plus they cut and move on at a few parts that are questionable. Like closing the ECU box. It just doesn't fit well and I spent quite a bit of time trying to reposition it and running the leads out of it in different ways. At the end of the day you just have to mash it all in there and not tighten the screws all the way down. Mike from Hoppen had actually commented that the video seemed to be causing some confusion.

Also, in the video online they take the drivers side front wheel off to connect a lead there. This doesn't happen with the S4. You only connect on either side of the engine and then below the front. The included instructions leave one of the connections out and the final connection of the unit itself out as well.

Ultimately, for the money that this thing costs there should be clear, well written instructions with color pictures. Your DIY for the headlights was 100 times better than what came from MTM. Nonetheless it wasn't hard at all. They just make you earn it during the install.

Also, let us know when you get a chance to use your gtech. I'm curious to see another stronic do some 0-60's. I'd like to see it print some 4.8x's. I'm sure you would too.

Any HP runs Voltron? If you have any saved runs, just bring up a HP vs time graph and post a pic.

Not yet. Had the family out today. My 10 week olds head would be flopping all around.
