its my daily driver, but my commute to work is only 4 minutes, and the rest of the time it is purely pleasure driving. will the 4.10 be too steep for me? i dont like to kill it off the line, but i am dying for some more punch in the 20-90 mph range.
lastly, what should the average install time for stage 1 or stage 2 be?

Misinformation is no help and what good is a point of reference that you know to be wrong for 1/3 of the stick drivers on here? As a forum vendor/tuner specializing with gears and diffs your words carry extra weight with potential buyers. Guys are looking to you for the right answers. I would respectfully suggest that you update your chart or alternatively, don't post it.

We currently re-calibrate the PCM for in-house differential installations only at this time, but in the future, we may adopt the same system we already use for the C5 Corvette~ where the end user sends us their PCM, we make the necessary calibration changes for them respective to the gear ratio chosen and send the PCM back.
We now have 5 different levels of C6 differential performance levels to match just about any performance application. You can see the information here via this link and our website will be updated with this new information soon also.

yea, stock gearing on base A6 2006 is like 2.86 or something like that
i'd really like 3.42 or 3.73, that's probably the only mod i would do to a brand new car - so the programming should be even easier for you guys
i'll call you up when im ready, thanks for the reply

As a comparison going to 4.10's on a manual tranny would give you a final of 12.17 and that is with the Z51 first gear. Either gear would make first in the A6 useless IMO.

This is great information!!! I seem to learn something new on this site everyday. I have an A4, 3.15, should I be concerned any (Not taking to the track etc) if all I will be doing is getting on it here and there, Also do the runflats increase the poss. of such problems such as weak strut, rear end etc???

There are 2 1/2 designs for the 2005 model year and another differnent design for the 2006 model year. We say 2 1/2 designs for 2005, because Getrag has made a few refinements in a few areas for the same year of differential that are subtle, but changes none-the-less and it's always a 'surprise" when we open another new unit up to find something else different yet again...
We're building the 2006 model now, but we don't have any cores for them in rotation yet, so you'll have to send the differential that's in your car to be built.

DTE
