Dont know about hp. By you being an a4 you would benefit from the shift point and line pressure settings that the tuner will adjust. It would also get rid of torque management. If you are interested, I have a superchips flashpaq 2825 I will let go for 250.

I HAVE AN 04 A4 WITH A PREDATOR TUNER AND IT HELPS ALOT. THIS PAST WEEKEND I WAS ADJUSTING AT TRACK AND JUST BY TURNING TORQUE MANAGEMENT OFF I DROPPED 2 TENTHS IN 1/4 MILE. THEY HELP THE A4s MORE. I WOULD SUGGEST IT AND WHEN YOU ADD STUFF JUST GET A CUSTOM TUNE FORM CMR DEALERS.

and by the way man scrap your warranty asap before its too late that **** will cost you more in the long run if you maintain and dont romp your car plus it never covers the **** that goes wrong
cancel it and mod mod mod
just my opinion good luck either way bud

A Hypertech or similiar is a very good idea, especially since you're an A4 for shift points and the torque thing. When you would like to take it back to the dealer for whatever reason, just plug the programmer back in, set it back to stock, then head to the dealer. Doesn't void warranty at all.

Right now Diablosport has no trans tuning for the 05 or 06 GTO.So if your an A4 this hurts u for sure but they are promsing a download for the trans tuning very soon.
For a mild bolton car the predator works...
I have one and have tune my ltrims right to -1.7/+2.3 and my timing is at 25 degrees with no kr at all,I have my 160 stat in and have the fans running perfectly.My A/F recorded 12.6 under 3rd gear wot runs up to 6200 and the car blows the tires away from a 1st gear roll..
If u take the time to fine tune the predator it is a good tool.Once u go to a h/c or fi setup then u will need custom tuning,cmr dealers can tune your car and u can save it in the predator..
I will be working with Mike at Diablosport,he will be helping me tune my GTO once I add the FI setup...I just havent decided which way to go,I hope that helps your decsion and by no means am I saying custom tuning via a sponsor is not a good idea.
If u want to get a custom tune IMO there is only one guy----->SLOWHAWK from Dez Racing....IMO he's the best
