Question Please Help me lock up my Converter 99 A4 w/HPT

Ok here is what I want to do.I dont want to wait for my engine temp to reach 145 before my converter locks up for normal driving ,With my 4000 verter.I mean my engine is running alot higher rpm's than I want it to when cold.How with HP Tuners can I make it lock up ,say around 120 degrees or so?Thanks for the help....

I don't have HPT but was wondering about the same thing - mine won't lock until 141 degrees consistently. What's a safe temp?

You might have to install a manual lock up switch. Thats what I did.
