Very well said
Thank you

Devon: would you care to tell these guys how Julian's car sounded over the phone today on hot start, switching the a/c on and off, and blipping the throttle?

'02 WS6 S3 LS6 heads full bolt-ons with no cats and a FAT NASTY CAM. ~23x 2xx (over 230 exhaust too) with over 600 lift on both sides at 112 LSA.
Idle speed chosen by the owner: 850 (he lives in a rich neighborhood with a lot of people that would be EXTREMELY put out if I lowered it to 800 ).

Oh! And screw drillin' the TB (no pun intended )

The TB is S2 ported and polished un -drilled

It sounded ****** badass and perfect!!! No surging at all, not even a change when the a/c went on and off!!! I can't wait till you do mine when I get her back!!!!
