I can spin them at any speed under 60mph with my A4 with the TC on. My tires aren't all that bad either. Only have a tune and headers. Will have to get a video made this summer.

That is it!!! I have been having abs service light coming on and off for A while I haven't had time to send the unit to Abs fixer yet but have been planning on it.
Anyway I went to a safe place after work today, my TC and ABS was working at that time, I turned TC off and tried to power brake and burnout like I usually do and my tires broke loose at like 1/8 of throttle with ease. I smoked the hell out of them and never was happier to do a burnout. Now at least I know it was not my torque converter or transmission which can be very expensive.

After my first ECS tune I could smoke the tires pretty good, but after the headers and the second ECS tune it's a whole different car. I have to be careful not to floor it most of the time because it will break lose real fast.

OP, if you have a problem with your ABS/TC, it shuts itself off, it wont hold the car back. Something does not sound right there.
The BTM (brake tq management) is what makes the car not do a burnout if your foot is on the brake, which is one of the items we shut off in a mail order tune.

it goes to about 1400 almost 1500 i believe i know it was more than 1200. before my ecm went to ****'s i'd put it in competition and could do it pretty easy but after that it wouldn't wanted to brun my tires off when they were finished and could only do donuts

easy to spin them if you like at 45mph. he lives in manitoba and im sure the temps keep road surface cold. add a summer tire you spin fishtail them very easily. at higher air pressure in tire it gets stupid. ive spun my tires near the top of 2nd with a-4 at 75mph and that my friend was not a good feeling. with what ive got going power wise i always have t/c on in cold air temps except when at drag strip. car to strong to be a street warrior
