Default Torque management M6???????

Do M6 have the same torque management as A4 and is this all models? Can and should it be changed or adjusted?

I'm an A4 guy and had mine completely tuned out. Believe the M6 cars have none in the trans section, but do in the engine section. Someone more knowledgeable than me will have to chime in to give you the particulars. Don't think it has anything to do with your clutch, thinking it's based on engine torque???? Make a short signature for your car for a quicker answer. Sorry, not much help...

torque management has nothing to do with the torque converter...

M6s do have torque management, but removing shouldn't be too hard on the trans or clutch unless you power shift

Ok I was at a dyno tuner yesterday . I have a M6 the tech said there are torque management parameters in the engine management section with HP Tuners. He deleted turned them off whatever. We went for a test drive after about 20 pulls "trying" to tune my car. There was too much traffic and I could only get one fairly hard and quick 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. Ok on the 2nd to 3rd the clutch slipped pretty good and this has never happened before so was it a coincidence or the removal of the torque mgmt???

There's a "max allowed engine torque" in efilive (B1901), set to 474. I looked at stock files for 2000 and 2002, same thing.

What I can't figure out is how it knows if the car has TCS (mine doesn't). There are a bunch of TCS tables to change spark etc.

Thats a good question. I would like to know how it would know as well.

So what does TCS have to do with torque management since not all cars have TCS???

My tuner disabled to torque management on my M6 - noticed a difference in grip (car launches better).
