Once VR is finished with the install I'll have dyno and track #s for you guys. It should perform great at the track.

I'm curious how this will mount as the room is tight. I assume this is the same IC project that was left off on from when Austin still had his car?? And last but not least, mine is better. :P JK, I'm eager to see how is goes and the response from the increased filling volume.

In other word, who gives a crap as there are always faster cars. People do stuff all fo the time which doesn't make sense but they enjoy it. Heck, my own situation is an example of worthlessness as traction is non-existant. But I still enjoy finding the limits even though it is not useful.

You are right though, it does take more $$ and effort to get a TL-S to run the same times as an A6 2.7TT. But the TL-S did cost $10k - $15k less in the beginning. This greater mod potential is always present when the vehicle comes boosted from the factory. Try and run mid 13's in an A6 3.0; what would that cost...

You guys have left me lets say.... "chipless".
But I must say those Audis are something. I've seen an Audi at the track do 12.9
Really awsome #s the personalised tag read "Blazing". I don't believe that it was the 2.7 but maybe the smaller version 1.8???
Thanks Scalbert for the heads up on being lean with the IC. It's not always easy being the guinea pig. It will be interesting to, say the least, as to what the results will be when mine is completed.
I got some new info on the trannys today. The tranny comes with kevlar clutches, hardened shafts, high stall anti-balling conv(400-500RPMs higher than stock), "torring" bearings-a German high strength steal unit and optional LSD. It costs about 3600(+-) and for the car raphite clutches another $400. This tranny without install is about 2600 and about 3000 for the C/G clutches.
Hope this helps.
Have fun in your CL/TL or Audi!!!

So Carbon/Graphite> Kevlar clutches??
This is the stage 2 transmission correct?
Do you have them rebuild your stock tranny? Or do they provide a new tranny? If so, do they require a core charge or something?

Just as a personal note: I have been a customer for Velocity Resources for about year and half. And as you guys have seen on my mods list they have done quite bit of work for me on my TL. I have been very pleased not only with their service but their expertise and customer commitment to me and my car has been great. It is not uncommon for them to be there late on a clients car (as I have seen them do) or my very own car for that matter till midnight or some times through the night.
When I first looked into modding my car I called Comptech just out of curiosity to see what they offered. When I told them my location VR was the only shop in the central FL area they would recommend and there are a lot of performance shops out here. Incidentally Comptech, do to their recent restructure, has reduced their # of distributors/ suppliers and VR is not one of them, they will continue to be a source for Comptech parts.
They have an excellent reputation as installation/sales facility and that reputation is nation wide. I have personally seen cars from Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, etc… at the shop just so they can get their cars worked on.
The new owners have been fighting to undo what the previous owners did and it has been an uphill fight as some of you might know. After talking to the new owners Jason and Bryant (which have always been with VR) I feel even more confident with them now than before. For me there hasn’t been any negative issues as far as I’m concerned and I’m sorry for those of you who have had problems. I do believe improvements are in place and you guys should have much better experiences and service. My 2 cents and then some.
GOOD NEWS FOR THOSE OF YOU INTERESTED IN REBUILT TRANNYS: VR has cores on hand so there is no down time on rebuilds.
