dude, OBD eleven can disable permanently traction control but no way can change your RPM launch settings. If I were you I'd get a set of 18 inch wheels before hitting the strip again...and a soft compound rubber, I've run 11.78 on IE stage 2 E30 on my first pass at 118.65 mph but again too high PSI, looking forward to go back and test again

I'm building a 09 Audi A4 2.0t with Norstrum injectors. Upgraded fuel pump, 83.5mm JE racing pistons, CTS big boss 600 turbo, Ward Performance tune and I'm switching to a ZF 8HP transmission putting out 28lbs of boost. I can't wait for the turbo to arrive. I'm gonna putting out above 600hp. I was gonna ask did you dyno it??

You said you wish the sound was better. On my 09 I have a 200 cell cat with AWE performance exhaust I removed the resonator and mine sounds like a V8 maybe it's the fact you have a sideways engine versus the longitude engine. Cause mine sounds awesome. I have alot of ppl that think I have a V8 cause I took off all my badging on the back so nobody knows what it its

That's dope you got the downpipe! And we installed an AWE switchpath catback exhaust which sounded pretty good at idle and cruising but wide open pulls and hard acceleration it didn't sound good just because the exhaust was almost straight piped basically. If you keep the stock catback or at least the resonator you should be alright!
