What are you calling a performance torque converter and why are you considering one?

A hi stall T/C is the best bang for the buck on an A4 or A6 excluding nitrous. I have had a 2400, 3600 & now 4000 stall in my car. All of them performed MUCH better than a stock converter. What gears are you running?

You mean the company PTC. They have a good reputation.
The turbo guys really like them.

PTC is local to me and everyone there are personal friends of mine. Kenny is into racing as are most of his employees. Proven customer relations, if you have any problem with any of his products he will make it right! I'm saying all this as a satisfied customer as I run PTC converters in 4 of my cars.
