Default 2005 A4 to modify...

3.15 gearm loaded, A4 2005 Coupe...

Want to start with torque converter, probably 3400 YankSS....is their any computer tuning that needs to be done with just a torque converter swap? Probably do an air intake swap as well for now...

Is tuning readily available for LS2 yet?

Want to do torque management delete, change shift points, change fan temps, etc....

Any other simple bolt on mods that work with 05 vette's? Thinking of stuff I did on my LS1 camaro like TB bypass, underdrive pulley, descreen MAF, etc...



Thanks

I have the same set up and did 160F Thermostat, Long tube headers with high flow cats, Magnaflow cat back exhaust, Halltech CAI and a tune both the engine and trans changes. Night and day difference in performance. I wa told a 2800 stall would be good but maybe the one you mentioned. I'm not messing with internals until my warranty is up or at least until next year at which time due to cost and gains and ease of install maybe the SC setup for the 620hp or so. I shift my A4 manually and really performs well that way.

Just wondering how long your a4 shifted manually will perform. I did the same to my old z28 and the performance of the reprogrammed shift point was night and day but it seemed on the EDGE--a few mettalic noises occasionally when shifting . Faster yes ,but durability I wonder.
