My 2002 BEGI S4 GT2860RS - White and sexy.

It was only an issue related to the digital input settings I had.
Pull up ECU data and make sure that the digital input flags light up when they are supposed to.
My car is a 2002 so these are the only settings I needed to pay attention to
Then I played with RPM's. A higher RPM will snag the next gear higher but it might be harder for the syncros to line the gears up. A lower RPM will not snag gears hard but you'll be able to shift more quickly.

My car is a 2002 so these are the only settings I needed to pay attention to
- DIGITAL INPUT 1 - CLUTCH
- DIGITAL INPUT 2 - NEUTRAL ON GEAR SHIFTER
- WOT FLAG ENGAGES when you press the throttle to your comfortable full throttle position (dont calibrate the sensor by pressing really hard. And set your WOT to engage at 70% or so)

I would however recommend using the brace with replacement poly diff mounts - I have poly mounts but they are not installed and the thought of the top of the diff being able to slop around and this brace being the only somewhat solid link, does not sit well with me. This is the same theory as using one solid engine mount on an engine.. Not a good idea.

So after reading about the life expectancy of the BEGI s4 Stainless Steel manifold I noticed that they offer a brace to go from the extra hole on the downpipe to the motor mount bolt.
The BEGi mount has an awesome design- looks like a really nice piece. But I decided to make my own.
This is the BEGi:
So I went to the hardware store and picked up this guy:
Obviously this doesn't work so well as is but with a little modification it can be made to offer the same type of support. I welded a nut into one end and a flat shim into the other. This design allows me to just un-thread the motor mount bolt a little bit and slide the brace on.
Painted it with some high temp paint and slapped it in. Should do the trick.
