2002 and torque management w/ stall A friend of mine has a 2002 Z28 A4 and he wants to get a Vig 2800 stall converter. I told him to check into removing the torq management. He doesn't have a PC so he doesn't know where to check; therefore, I am doing it for him. I know certain year Ls1s had this issue. Do the 2002s have torque management issues with stall converters? I told him he may want to install a shift kit, trans cooler and possibly remove the TQ MG. What do you all think?

Re: 2002 and torque management w/ stall '01 and '02 years have the worst TQM. Especially with a stall, he'll want it removed. The car will feel like it falls on its face when the TQM kicks in at WOT.

Re: 2002 and torque management w/ stall agreed, delete it especially with any torque converter larger than stock, plus once he gets into modifying the engine it will not hamper him in that aspect either.

Re: 2002 and torque management w/ stall My 02 really fell on it's face after just headers and some intake work. (ported TB, lid, and MAF) Now I have a 3000 stall and a Predator. The difference is amazing...

Re: 2002 and torque management w/ stall I was faced with this problem a few weeks ago myself with my 3200 vig. I bought a Diablosport/Predator power programmer and it really helped my drivability and all out performance out a great deal. Tell your friend to get one. I'm sure he will be happy with it.
