Default Pulled the trigger, going FI
Since I was able to buy a used ATI from a member here at a very reasonable cost, I pulled the trigger. I have a 08 A6, headers, 3' pipes, x pipe, bullets, cam, UDP, P&P TB and intake, 3.42 RPM diff, and now, a procharger! I just want to be around 600rwhp, a nice bump from my 460 now. It is at the shop right now!

Sounds like a great setup. I hope to get my car in the shop next week for a SC install. Christmas in September!

Very Nice, I'm sure you'll get to 600 rwhp. Yours will really move out with the 3.42 gears. I use the paddle shift mode 85% of the time. If I really jump on it, S mode works really well!

I prefer S mode and don't mess with paddle shifting. My shifts are smooth and fast.
What are you using for tires ?
