you've gotta watch some of those German junkers, they can be seriously fast- especially be careful with RS3/RS7 Audis, from a dig and on the street they'll hurt some feelings.
Car is back from Steve V and it's miles better overall - Had mild trans work (did what he calls 11.50 Build) with an XHD 12" Stock TC with ≈ 2700 stall speed. He also installed 3"DP w/Test Pipe, LT1 MAF w/Translator & a trans cooler. Car runs noticeably stronger with all else being the same...
I've gotten my boost and fuel pressures adjusted properly without any KR at roughly 15/16 psi on the gauge, but now when I launch the car it's flaring on the 1-2 shift. This is a very low mileage car that was kept completely stock by the original owner whose spouse sold it after he passed away...
I have a Kirban AFPR set to 43 PSI now _ I've not considered the MAF to this point but I will ask Bison about it- to this point the 2 items next for consideration is the TC and a 3" DP from RJC but I do want to do some more tweaking first.
ya- I should have mentioned I've dialed the boost back and will be installing my MBC so I can fine tune the boost levels better. I need to clear a code we caused when checking for a misfire issue as well then test driving the car for further analysis. Thanks!
so all my upgrades previously mentioned are in and the car is ok but not quite what I expected, I've set the AWGA to 16psi for now but I'm getting some KR. The part that I'm a little surprised by is the car just won't turn the tires over and is kind dead from a dig, once it spools up it pulls...
have been researching more deeply and it seems I may wreck my stock trans with these mods I'm doing, any thoughts? If so then what should I be looking for as an upgrade?
thanks for all the great input! it's all either here or on the way:

thank you, there is for sure a lot to learn and as I was warned by a forum member "if you ask 10 people a question you'll likely get 12 different opinions" :). My main goal is to look as stock as possible, have a 12 sec capable car and be able to replace the stock parts if needed without a...
