thanks, one more question though, how does the computer know when the engine is under load and not just revving?


Also, David, what is your new mailing address, I will get Jacob to mail you that door handle.

Oh, I forgot your S5. In that case, I think it should open without load. Air from the air pump is a function of RPM only and the solenoid that releases the air is switched open when the motor reaches 3800, right?

What do you guys think about the smaller stock spoiler? I used to think it was dumb, but I've never seen it painted the same color as the car like this:

I think it looks kinda cool and inconspicuous.

well, i finally drove her

although i was sooo excited, shes not running right. i dont have a fuel pressure gauge, so i dont know what the FPR is set at (its adjustable and i bought it used). also, im thinking there is a boost leak. it runs fine at idle and reving while parked, but once it gets into boost, it runs like ****. i did make a run that felt REALLLLLLLY strong until it hit full boost, then it fell on its face. but like i said, it feels like its going to be quick, just needs to be tuned and checked i guess.

lets see, im in the middle of psychology right now...figured id see what was going on at the forum...the 90 is basically done, just needs a minor adjustment on the door and tightening of screws. i need to figure out where to get it painted. i think i also need a tps, it wont idle when it comes down from high rpms or after it warms up.

you better pay attention and stop posting on the forum chump! You are only allowed to post while slacking at work, not at school.
A few days ago I read some posts by Kevin at rotary resurrection, he said the s5 inherently does not idle as well as the s4, I am guessing this is b/c of the higher compression ratio, still don't think it should be dying on you though.

Disconnect the thermowax and see if the problem continues.
