I should mention that my test conditions weren't perfectly replicated, but I did my best to use the same sections of road/track to test my findings as well as roughly the same amount of water on the road.

I've found the positiveimpact to the Audi hack is;
· Quicker off the lights
· Pulling out in traffic easier
· Getting through round abouts easier
· Overtaking
· Slightly increased heart rate
Negative impacts areprobably below;
· Easier to brake traction
· Tyre wear would increase
· Maybe more speeding tickets

Thanks, wife doesn't think so.
I changed Engine Control Unit coding to Audi (byte 0, bit 0 - 2 from memory)
Then I changed AWD Control Unit adaption setting for Wiring Logic to Increased Traction, to offset the wheel spin from the Engine code change.
I didn't actually try the ABS Unit Change for Expanded Diff as I saw somewhere it used the brakes to control the car. I think this is the one Wynnston was saying was dangerous as well. Brake lockups on ice aren't that great.
I like the changes for around town driving. Peps it up a bit.

Pros:
Better throttle response allows you to feel more in control. A delayed throttle makes you feel more disconnected, almost like having sluggish/sloppy steering.
In start stop traffic, the car is more responsive so you don't need as much throttle and you don't have that delayed jerk in acceleration which feels very much like turbo lag.
Cons:
Slight increase in chance of traction loss which I believe is caused by a less reactive Haldex system, also issues with launch control (won't affect most people). This may be completely moot for people that either don't use launch control or don't have a tune.
Yes it's a Passat and I would imagine a lot of people won't tune their car or drive it like a yob, but this is a tuning thread

See my previous post on my mods. Ill post a pic of the engine. I've done the stage 2 + OEM/ racing line and some neuspeed parts.
I went to willow bank on saturday and did 5 runs all around 12.3.
My best run was 12.106 115mph......just wouldnt let me get the 11s.... though i had to ease off the launch control as the start was not what it should be. I after a few tweaks i think i can get 11s. Either way its very quick.
