TTS Powerloader is a custom program based on your mods. A4s benefit the most thru the removal of Torque Management. For a basically stock M6, I would have to say no. I'm sure others will chime in :cheers:

Don't have the TTS but did have Ed Wright reprogram my PCM, basicly same thing. Changes shift firmness in an automatic, reprograms fan turn on temps, adjust fuel and timing curves for maximum performance. This is by far the best mod I have done. If nothing else just to lower the operating temps to less than 210 even with stock thermostat. :yesnod:

It's NOT worth the money for a relatively stock MN6!:nono:
it's a very expensive way to lower the cooling fan temp.
if you want to lower the cooling fan turn on temp just get a fan controller!
$20.00 for a fan controller is much better than $400.00 for a powerloader, HPP III or any other "power programmer", and you can mod your existing thermostat to open at a lower temp for practically nothing.
If you plan on doing more extensive mods in the future then consider getting LS1 edit.

Back in the days of Normal asperation.... I had the best results by using a HPP III and MAFT combo. By using an Ease program to monitor the computer and engine. I was able to optimize the engine A/F ratios, raise the rev limiter & control the radiator temps too.
during the next 6 months I ran that car at 3 Road Courses WOT and the car ran like a champ. THe engine was smooth running and never got over 194 deg No matter what... That was a good setup. :yesnod:

It's all academic, since Steve Cole refuses to return phone calls or e-mails. Do a search here regarding ether Steve Cole or his TTS product and you will find endless threads regarding the **** poor service he provides, if he provides any at all.
If you are not comfortable translating/inputting data using LS1 edit, find a local tuner who is. I have been lucky enough to find a tuner who was honest enough to dissuade me from wasting my money messing with the PCM. With my most basic bolt on mods, it's not worth it, according to him.
My $0.02

Well, I may be the only satisfied customer here, but I have the powerloader and its the best thing I have done for the my car (A4). I have recently bought 3.42s, SY3500 and TransGo and needed it reprogrammed from him. I am happy to say that it is reprogrammed and in my hand as we speak, of course a little but late, but that is OK.
Moral of the story, I guess, is for an A4 it is a MUST, but it seems for your 6-speed you will not benefit too much from it.
