[www.audizine.com](http://www.audizine.com) there are others but those are the two I frquent. I too mod, although am less fond of it these days but don’t mind taking the brunt of the responsibility when it is due to something I did… I will be awfully careful with this ridiculously expensive engine however. before it gets any boost the kits will need to have some serious miles on them. ---

> [@XwalkerX](#): > > eh i would stray from pes from all the horror stories i have heard with thier 3.0 v-6 s/c I don’t know who pissed in the cheerios over at AZ but it is possible the hate there is even worse than the VW hate here. I had a PES SC’d 2.8 with over 150k miles on it. I’ve installed more 2.8 and 3.0 SCs than anyone on that site has ever seen. I’m not afraid of PES in the slightest. ---

We are up to 3 months of data and it seems to be leveling out. Right around the 18-19 range (I find the 3 take avg to be much more meaningful) with a majority highway. I still find myself pushing the “gas dump” pedal that Audi included with the car quite a bit. I’m sure on a true hwy trip I could get in the low 20s, however I’d just take something else most likely… ![http://nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=9253&stc=1&d=1241622315](http://nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=9253&stc=1&d=1241622315) ---
