[@carterw8236]

Hi 034, I tried this in my somewhat recently acquired 6MT B8.5 S4 tonight for the first time. It was awesome. One question though, does the accelerator have to be pushed down ALL the way for the fuel to cut at the preset rpm (in my case tonight it was 2200 ish) or will it just cut at the set limit even if I'm at like 3/4 throttle? If I goose it WOT in 1st gear the tires spin even if I'm rolling forward with the clutch all the way out already. Tonight when I let the clutch out it spun quite a bit. I suppose I could turn it to the lowest setting, 2k and try that but it seems like it would still spin.

[@034motorsport]

You can engage ALC at 3/4 throttle or however much throttle is needed to reach the set RPM. We'd recommend trying the lowest setting to see if it still spins, you may just need new tires! Shoot an email to us at [e-mail] if you have any further questions!

[@SamHager4233]

[@Zonda.691]

I have IE and have also considered switching, but 25% doesn't come close to what you or I would need for it to be worth it. I'm stage 2+ currently and IE also offers a similar fuel-cut/2-step launch feature, don't think its adjustable in the same way but unless you're launching on various terrain it shouldn't matter too much. ALL I'm getting at is that you already paid the big chunk of change, the rest of the stage upgrades are pennies in comparison from stock to stage 1

Honest question as I'm not overly familiar with super chargers, but what purpose does creating an engine load do for a supercharged engine? Is this purely for sound? On a turbo this would build boost, does it serve an actual purpose for a supercharger?

[@sergcool]

I'm assuming for this update I will need to flash the TCU again using the Flashing kit. Also is it worth updating the tune to the cruise control method? I usually use the throttle method.
