Default tuning?

My stock A4 needs help... It's running great but I'm reading that tuning can really be worth the money on an automatic. Ideas? I'd rather give the work to a Canuck around T.O.

Take your vette to Augustino. They specialize in vettes and are located by the airport.

It's not Canadian, or around TO, but the TTS Powerloader is an awesome tuning mod. Did my 01 A4 vert with it and nearly crapped my pants with the permormance gain!

Guess I'll put on the "Depends" before taking a test run
Anyone else had a tune with good results? What specifically did you notice in terms of better performance? The sluggish shifts are unimpressive. Is there a downside to tuning. I am not a racer but fun is fun!

I got tuned by Lars last summer. The difference was noticeable from the get go..more power, no stuttering, smoother shifts ( I have an automatic) better performance all round.
