Has anyone checked to see how hot our turbos are after a run to say 140. I'm sure there is some color to them.  I've never had a problem with an Audi Turbo motor using synthetic oil

With or without the engine cover?

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I'd prefer to do this once so I'll do it with the cover on for max heat.

I had an 1992 Audi s4 that had from the factory an external waste gate, engine oil cooler and water cooled Turbo.  It took a very high speed run over 20 miles.  It was glowing nicely when that run was done. Turbos when used do get to glowing to some degree rather quickly. Same with brake rotors.  It's a fun trick to do the night before you change pads and rotors 5 or 6 80 to 0mph runs then hop out and take a look

I apologize if this was mentioned in the past,anyone consider painting the bottom skirt the same color of the car,best of my knowledge they have to use a special flex-all paint made for plastic,rubber,plexiglass,to hold up better and give our cars a bolder and fuller appearance especially the side and rear skirt to make it look more color coordinated.

How does that work?  Can you toggle it with the rpm/fuel screens? 

Which dealer enabled it for you?

Hah. I was surprised how much of the power it actually puts to the rear on a lunch after watching it for awhile.

Yeah its just one click after the rpm gauge. I really like it. Just I wish it was like the edge where it shows each individual wheel. None the less it's cool to know what it's actually doing.

Here's a link to a thread of a guy who did this on his Explorer. Maybe he could give you some more insight on this if you can get in touch with him
