Default Launching A4 1.8T Quattro Triptronic

I recently purchased a 2002 A4. Love the car!!!once its rolling and rpms are above 3000.
Any suggestions on launching from stationary?with a bit more drama?

From what i've seen, most turbo upgrades start producing boost at higher RPM than the stock turbo, so that wont really help at launch.

A supercharger would do it, but i don't know of any A4 kits, not that i've looked for one. I've heard of combined turbo-supercharger setups, so you get the best of both words, but thats wayy off the beaten path, so you have to be pretty ambitious and well funded to try these things.

I have the same car.....I know the feeling....I tried everything but dropping it into gear from neutral at high rev's. I never did find a good launch process!! Good Luck

Guys! These are Quattros... they do not launch... it is in the nature of the all (4) wheel drive!!! Sides if your EPS light is OFF the computer will not let you skid even on wet pavement or snow!

To the OP

Are you Chipped?
Can you build some boost, by brakeboosting?
