KC, are you happy with the HP gains?
No overheating issues or Check engine light issues?

Hey man I see you're in Sachse. I also live in Sachse. Shoot me a text you can come take a ride in mine that is supercharged (well and a lot more). Your mind will be made up. 214.882.8271

check engine light turned on and cooling fan was going crazy after install. this is a known issue
with the mas airflow extension. make sure prior to install all pins are installed and not bent. i used the extension from my cold air kit while i waited for a new one from procharger. at first i used the canned tune,then went to a custom tune. glad i did! my car is an a8 and i started to have issues. transmission didn't feel right. turns out procharger does not change the tcm tune at all. also while tunning found out as iat rise car was not pulling timing. very scary! in the end i am very happy. skip the canned tune and find a tuner you can trust and you will be set. i do recommend upgrading to the p1x. upgrade cost is minimal and worth it. hope this helps.
