Man...I love S4's! The S4 Avant is my dream car/wagon next to the E55 wagon! I can't do it though, I'm selling this to get an F-car, Viper, or G-Wagen. I haven't decided yet. Gotta be practical.

Right on. I am on Pass from IQ and messing around and stumbled upon this. I have to say it kicked ***, the video was fun to watch. WFT with the race agains the supra? Funny other video. Nice other cars in mind also. And... S4. Nice gig. I used to be into that whole mess of things. I have had the pleasure of riding in a stock 911tt and a S4 MTM Stage 5, while they raced back and forth. Good fun. Good luck with the sale. Somebody will have plenty of fun in that.

Guys,
Thanks to you all for the kind words.
I just added some Manaray MS-6 18 x 9 and 18 x 10 with 315 drag radials to the car. Wait until I get pics of these (one of the wheels has a crack)!!!

I'll just say this much, the turbo will make full boost on the footbrake....The stall is over 4000 rpms.

Oooo nice 
I will help you so that you dont look so uneducated at other places:
A torque converter is a torque multiplier. It multiplies the amount of torque your transmission gets so that your car can actually move more efficiently (normally 2-3x the amount of torque). When you hit the "stall", you are basically at a 1 to 1 ratio... meaning the torque your engine makes is what the transmission gets. The ENTIRE purpose of a higher stall is to make sure your torque doesnt go into a 1:1 ratio before you hit your powerband (in the case of a turbo, you want to hit 1:1 when you hit boost). The advertised stall can vary widely depending on how much torque your engine actually puts out. (Which is why I thought it was odd you thought this should be a secret)
Lets say you have a 4000 rpm stall. On an engine that makes lots of torque, you will hit the 1:1 at ~3500-4000 rpm. On an engine such as the 2jz which has very low torque, you will actually hit the stall at ~2000 rpm. (stock stall is ~1800 rpm)
On your application, actually putting your foot on the brake bypasses all of this and makes you start at the 1:1 ratio anyway... which defeats the purpose of it all. This does little more than test the limits of what your brake system can handle. But it does sound like you have good brakes

Actually, performance torque converters do not release a 1:1. A clutch on a manual transmission will, but not a TC. Like you said, they are torque MULTIPLIERS. It is more of a 2.5:1 rather than a 1:1 until the speed of the car gets closer to engine speed.

I know my car can't make full boost on the footbrake too. It never could. Thanks for the help.
Long story short, this is an uber loose converter for such a small turbo. It is a custom converter that I had built. You can leave the line at over 4500 rpms on the brake. Since someone is trying to look really smart and got so sad I didn't release the info, there are the specs.
