Actually my simple analysis is pretty close according to APR and their KO4 kit for your car. Maybe you don't understand gas physics the way I do, or haven't spent as much time porting heads, building engines, etc...but I digress.
And you are still not even close to a Mustang V8's power to weight even on 100 octane fuel.

Supposedly the fix is Directly Injected and Port Injected engine?
Also…what about an Italian Tune-Up?

I'm no expert at this…however, I thought most engines that are directly injected are prone to carbon build up? I recently read that Porsche boxer engines have shown to be less prone to carbon build up?

You busted nothing, Nancy. The only claim I made is that my lightly modded A5 pulls harder than an S5 (which is nothing to brag about) and as hard as a Coyote 5.0 Mustang. I never said anything at all about your precious little Lexus, so try not to get your panties all knotted up.
BTW, the 2.0T engines have no carbon problems. The V8 S5 definitely does, but anyone who works on Audis knows that this generation of the 2.0T , despite being a DI engine, has no carbon issues. So you obviously don't know what you're talking about...

Entertaining thread!
Anyway, if the modded A5 is as fast as it is, I am in no position to question it. It's modded after all.
All I know is from street races against APR modded S4's with my wifes 2012 Mustang GT AUTO trans with just a tune, the Mustang is faster . Not by much, but it does pull on them especially after 80mph. (heck, the Mustang is faster in a straight line than my ISF up to ~125mph.)
If the modded A5 here can keep up with Mustang 5.0's, which in turn is faster than APR S4's, I have yet to encounter one here in CA... I think all the A5 2.0L's in CA are stock....
On a separate note, I did run against a modded S6 (V8T badged) and got destroyed.....

Big shout to my little buddy Ming.....LOLOL
Sorry, kiddo...you've been busted. The picture that you claimed to have taken at your shop can be found here in this Mazda forum thread:
http://forum.mazda6club.com/mazdaspe...big-issue.html
Next time you claim to bust someone, try not to get so unbelievably busted yourself.

Uh oh......and again here in this BMW forum:

Actually, that pic can be found all over the Internet. Next time, try to find a pic that isn't so easy to find. BTW, I guess you'll need that towel to wipe the egg off your own face, bud.

Just an update.....I got a cool new tool yesterday. It's an engine scope. I used it to "see" inside the induction system and I'm happy to report that everything looks clean as a whistle. No evidence of carbon build-up anywhere!
