UPS stopped by today and dropped off several sweet things from ECS Tuning:
Just installed 6 new Denso Iridium Spark Plugs. The install was not to bad. Took me a little while to figure how to get the the left and right coilpack closest to the front of the car off. Finally figured out with the help of my wife that a silver intake piping could be remove with a single bolt removed from either side. After that I was in and out of the garage within a hour. The old NGK plugs actually didn't look that bad, but I do have to say that it seem like my engine revs a little faster and smooth with the new plugs installed. With the bipipe, spark plugs, and air filter, my B5 Audi S4 is feeling very strong right now. We will see how the MPG has change why I take a little trip this coming forth of July weekend. **Update** went on a 300 mile round trip averaging 28.5 miles per gallon. Not bad for a 300+ hp car.

I just recently bought a 2001 S4, and I'm really impressed that you were able to get 28.5 Mpg. I currently average around 20 Mpg. How were you able to get that? does installing a new Ecu and Audi TT 710n Diverter Valves really increase it's Mpg as well as Horsepower by that much?

Riley, I can't really say that it is all just the ECU and Diverter Valves that would cause that good of mileage. I would say making sure all of your O2, EGT, and other sensors are working well that can influence the mileage. As well as proper tire pressure and most importantly keeping your car aligned. It might just be me, but I've notice better mileage after I've waxed my car.

Alright, thanks for the good advice, one more thing. I've been looking for an automotive repair manual, like Haynes, for sometime now. I was wondering if you use a repair manual for your car. And if so, do you know where i could find one?
