Re: Powerloader Down Shifting (ejs1993)
I planned on installing a Powerloader this winter; why can't a milder program become available? If the normal program is too agressive why can't it be set back to take the edge off?

Re: Powerloader Down Shifting (SilverStar)
I've decided that the Powerloader shifts the A4 like I would shift the M6. Enough said, except "Thank you Steve Cole".
If you want soft unnoticeable shifts and a tranny that will not downshift, save your money and stick with the stock program. On the other hand, if you want to drive a sports car with an automatic (normally a contradiction of terms), get the Powerloader.

Fast one,
Your request: "why can't a milder program become available? If the normal program is too agressive why can't it be set back to take the edge off?"
Now, ask 1,000 different C5 owners to define "milder".
You'll get 1,000 different answers.
Then, pretend you are a programmer and try to fullfill the 1,000 different answers (or driving style).
This is why it is not that easy as a programmer to fullfill your and 1,000 other requests with regard to "the right feel or shift points."
Thanks.

Re: Powerloader Down Shifting (Da Kind)
question, does the powerloader remove the lag when you punch it, and the RPM's jump up, but the car doesnt move anywhere, and then downshifts and goes? I hate that.....its that sweet spot at 30 and 55 that I like...but dont care for that delay.....
