tune with a converter? well i've been looking around on here and can't figure out if i will need a tune if i replace my converter or not...im thinking about a yank 3600 will i need a tune to run it without having problems?
You definitely don't need a tune with that converter, as long as that's the only thing you would be tuning it for. If you haven't tuned it since the mods in your sig, you could probably use a tune.

Every car & every converter is different. With a 3600 stall I had to bump my idle speeds up a little bit and play with my shift mph/rpm tables a little. You may get away clean on the stock tune, you may not. My 2 cents......get yourself tuning software and forgettaboutit.

yea im on naples racing my name is magnet over there too...i didnt have to deal with it on my old car cuz i sold it before i had to deal with it. I was really young and had no money, i mean im almost 19 now and had the other a4 almsot 3 years ago now..and yes im STILL young and i just dont feel like paying an extra 500 if i dont have to..my last m6 i ran full boltons and it ran fine..it ran alittle rich but it had no drivablility problems without a tune..and it ran like a champ.
it sounds like i should install all my parts from my last car on this..run around town for awhile like that and when i get money get the stall and get it all tuned at once..
