Default Power Loader just installed!

I just installed it yesterday afternoon. Piece of cake. I tried to road test it but the streets were still too wet from the rain. Let's just say the traction control was earning it's keep. :D My first impressions are really good. The A4 really perked up, it is definitely more agressive upshifting and downshifting. I stomped on the gas at 35 mph and the car downshifted to 1st and really launched. Before the car would usually only downshift to 2nd gear. This is definitely more fun. :smash: The other noticible difference is the two black lines on the street that keep following me every time I drop the hammer. :D :D

That's good to hear. I have the same appreciation since I was 'loaded'. I drove another A4 C5 the other day, a '98 lightly modded, and forgot what the old shifting felt like.

Truck Guy, I was sure I seen you "LOADED" last year Labor Day in BG? :D :D

Let me know if you are ever interested in ordering or need a great price on a Powerloader or Torque Converter.

Streets were dry today. More "testing" accomplished. I LIKE IT! Now there's no going back. Thanks Matt G and RG at Exit 28. Good service and a quick turn around. :seeya
