Love this weather....just did 6 FATS runs
Coming back from a tuning trip in Paris, I just did 6 quick FATS runs (I didn't have the 12-220v inverter hooked up, otherwise I could have done loads more runs), here's what they look like.
Ambient was ~60F, fuel 93 octane (98 RON), trunk full of my tuning gear and clothes, 1/2 tank of fuel.

The 2.93 run was slightly uphill but as the battery was going down, I though f** it and still do it.
Did I mention how much I love my ECUx???
Boost is 24 psi peak and holding 18-ish psi at redline (Autometer Phantom series gauge). Timing is great but dips at around 5.75 degrees in the midrange now because of the higher peak boost but high RPM it's pretty good: around 20 degrees at 6000 RPM, 22 at 6500 and 24 to 27 degrees at 7000 RPM. KVs are as usual, CFs on a vag run (ECUx doesn't log them properly) were 6 degrees max on cylinder 2.
So at least I'm glad I haven't f'd anything up from mis-shifting into 3rd instead of 5th twice now. A mount of some sort must be f'd but now I definitely know it wasn't the engine that vibrates like mad. Tranny mounts maybe??
Anyway, any input is welcome as usual.

Ported/polished/clearanced plain jane K04s.
Full mod list:
-ported, polished and clearanced plain jane K04s
-custom tubular exhaust manifolds, ceramic coated
-custom turbo intake pipes in 2.5" diameter, tapering to slide fit on the compressor inlets
-custom compression dropping headgaskets from 034 Motorsport (8.2:1 CR)
-2001.5 intake manifold (no mods)
-APR Bi-pipe
-N249 delete
-RS4 MAF and Y-pipe
-custom dual 2.75" exhaust from turbos back, no cats and one silencer
-Bosch motorsport 044 special 10 Bar fuel pump (hard to get the tank cap not to leak)
-siemens 60lb injectors at 4 Bar rail pressure
-FMIC and custom IC piping
-RS4 transmission
-custom tune courtesy of myself and my buddy Franck driving for me
So the RS4 trans does make my car quicker, my RPM/MPH is 75.76 in 3rd gear (as per dyno runs from last week).
The car dynoed 391 ATW on a dynodynamics in shootout mode in 4th gear.
How's life man? Long time no hear from you (or maybe it's me that never replied to your last email :-/ )

Awesome. Good to hear you have it running so well.
I wish my car would go that fast.
Life is good. I have my poor S4 all torn apart right now. I was going to ask you about tuning some larger turbos, but I figure I need to actually get the thing running again before I think about tuning.
