Re: TTS PLII impressions... (BA2)
1) If I install a cold air system of some kind, will it need to be reprogrammed?
2) If I order a PLII for my totally stock A4 with 2.76 rear and am anticipating getting a 3.42, can I load it and then send the unit in for reprogramming for the 3.42 and what will be the approximate turnaround time? I don't have the gears yet but the 4-5 five weeks delay is about 3-4 weeks out side my patience window.

2> You can order your Powerloader now programmed for the 2.73s, get the product in the 4-6 weeks, load it on your car and send it back for 3.42 reprogramming. You would deal direct with Steve Cole for the reprogram and I would estimate a 2-3 week turnaround.

I "PowerLoaded" my car on Monday, and what a difference! I highly reccomend it.
The wait time stinks, but good things come to those who wait. :D

Most times on a mechanically sound tranny a shift kit will prolong tranny life. I'm thinking since the trans in the C5 is electronic, the Powerloader is doing the same as a shift kit- increasing line pressure to give firm crisp shifts. Soft shifts are the result of slipping the bands/ clutch packs- promotes wear. Cut down on slippage, cut down on wear

Re: TTS PLII impressions... (BA2)
I talked to Steve Cole about this exaxt question. If you Have a Cold Air System (Vortex etc.) or Cat Backs, there is really NO Change to the Powerloader Program you get. Still put both in your order form as a mod, but there are no Real changes to the program for these 2 mods.

BA2,
The PL is based on your mods, year of car and specific VIN number. No stocking is possible, yet.

Re: TTS PLII impressions... (RG in Dallas)
For an A4.... the shifting improvements alone are worth it!!!!! Even with no other mods....
I believe (but you may want to double check) that you can later add some basic mods like exhaust & air intake without reprograming.

Re: TTS PLII impressions... (BA2)
Just installed my PLII tonight. What an excellent mod! Immediately felt the torque increase, particularly in the lower RPM ranges. I highly recommend it....even on a MN6.
