Best TC for bolt on 2.73 A4? After seemingly endless research, I've decided to go with a Yank TC. But I'm having trouble deciding on which model to go with. I was thinking Stealth Thruster 32000, Yank 3000, or the SLP 3300. I'll use it for mostly street driving with occassional track time. I still want decent gas mileage. I will use drag dadials at the track and 255R16's on the street.
MODS:
Hooker LT
Hooker ORY
Hooker cat-back
FRA
SLP Lid, bellows, K&N
NGK TR55
MSD Wires

Re: Best TC for bolt on 2.73 A4? even if this is a daily driver, i would still go with a 3500 stall from either of the companies. not too many people are fond of that cheap SLP unit. i know they dont make their own convertors. IMO go with a yank 3500 and i really like the SS series units. also you need to know what are your goals with this car? track? radial? slicks? etc
Re: Best TC for bolt on 2.73 A4?
i wouldnt go lower than a 2800 or much higher than a 3500
lol
unless you are talking Vig 2800, no way is a 2800 even worth the time or money. since stock is around 1900 rpms.

Re: Best TC for bolt on 2.73 A4? I don not recommend the stealth thruster with your mods. The SS 3600 would be your best choice followed by the SLP 3300 or Yank 3000 (very similar performance).

Re: Best TC for bolt on 2.73 A4? There is NO WAY I would want a low STR with 2.73 gears...especially with sticky tires. It would launch too soft and would feel looser on the street.
My vote for a 2.73 geared car is a Yank SS3600 or a TCI 3500.

Re: Best TC for bolt on 2.73 A4? Grape Ape, the subject is about 2.73 gears which are alot stronger physically than your 3.73s (much larger pinion gear.) With 2.73s and a low STR you would have a dog. Not only would it launch like a sloth on valium, it would drive sloppy too.
An SS3600 would be perfect, IMO.
