Enable Torque Management I have a discussion going in the automatic trans section about turbo A4 + stock tranny with shift kit. Everyone pretty much says there is no way the stock tranny will hold up.
So I was thinking...and Im not sure if this is a good idea or not, but since I have Edit and have played with TM, I know that I can reduce delivered torque through certain rpm ranges.
So what if I killed say approx 100 ftlbs(or more or less, depends on how well it shifts) of torque through 5800-6200. Kind of acting like a window switch for the turbo so the car can more safely shift.
Will the engine bog too much? I know there will be a lot of forced air coming in while the engine tries to lower its torque output and that could be dangerous right?
How does the torque reduction work? Does it cut timing? Or what?
Thanks

Re: Enable Torque Management Just looked in edit and I guess I was wrong about the reduction by rpm...i saw that in abuse mode...anyone else know if/how this can be done an alternative way?
