[Audi 4]

I live on a hill in a city which is 2,600 meters above sea level (in south America). On my way home, I have to stop in order to cross a road. This stop is on a pretty hefty hill and thus I need to push full throttle to cross quickly in order to ensure that I cross before another car comes by the intersection as the other route has priority. However, when pushing the pedal hard on my 2003 1.8 T A4, I find that it does not move for like 2 – 3 seconds, and then it only pulls away when it reaches aprox., 2,800 rpm, which means that I really struggle when crossing the crossroad. Is there any way in which I can substantially increase the immediate response of my A4?

Thanks in advance for your kind help.

probably chip it... read the proformance and A4 forums for more information.

Do you have the tip auto or 5 speed trans?

Thanks for your help. I have the multitronic version. I believe 5 speed manual would not have this problem as you could rev up the engine to ensure that the turbo would kick in, thus picking up the speed immediatelly, but I might be wrong.

Its not the height above sea level it is the gearbox struggling to kick in...common on Multitroni (I have one I know) sorry not much you can do

Right and wrong.... it probably is the multitronic getting going.. but there is always something you can do <_<

Neuspeed makes a transmission chip for the multitronic which will increase take off power, as well as give your transmission more agressive shifting.
