It was originally advertised at 10-12 hp, realistically I would say half, but the torque management for the A4 is one bad mother!

Re: Powerloader HP & Torque Gains... (wallstAL)
Loaded the TTS Powerloader on my 2000 A4 w.315 axle this morning. I LIKE the shift and transmission response.
I was disapointed on the dyno.
Stock 2000 (K&N airfilter & '02 LS6 filter cover)
Today after Powerloader install: HP= 294.8 Torque=302.1 (both SAE corrected)
These were numbers I'd expect to see prior to the computer tunning. Thus, I don't think that you really pick up any HP with the powerloader. But those of us with A4 trannies will appreciate the change in transmission response. I also had a Hypertech III but the Powerloader is a much better transmission manager. No real HP gains with either one.

Good seeing you at the dyno today. Don't be too dissapointed. Those are just numbers. Heck, you already won 1st place in your class at Big Bend, be happy for that!
Talk to you later

Re: Powerloader HP & Torque Gains... (2001 Red Coupe Bandit)
Bandit,
I was looking at my dyno printouts (3 pulls) and noticed that my max hp was acheived between 3,800 & 4,800 RPMs. After about 4800-5000 RPMs the hp droped off by about 10 hp and holds steady out to about 6,200RPMs. I didn't dyno before the powerloader so I don't know what stock looks like. Max torque hits and immediately starts falling off at about 5,200 to 5,300 RPMs with a very steep decline. Do you have a similar pattern on your reports?
Also, my air/fuel ratio always starts out at 13 until I hit 5,100 RPMS and then it falls to 12. Does your's do the same? Is this also a function of the Powerloader?
