I used it, but I am of no use - I can't remember the numbers I used - my mechanic set it all up during my 3.42 and TC swap

sorry

Besides the "tuning" I would touch nothing else. Unless you changed gears or the stat, I would change the fan setting etc.

the reason is because the HP III has a bug when used with the C5. It won't gear scale an A4 properly when changing rear axle ratios beyond the 3.15

Hypertech refuses to make any corrections or updates to fix the bug. And they won't refund anyones money.

But not all is lost... if you never intend to change rear axle ratio on an A4... then the bug will never be a factor in its useage
