A4 and Nitrous ?

How does the A4 stand up to Nitrous? I have heard the the torque converter may "balloon"? I am thinking of a 100 shot or so but am concerned about the longevity of my transmission. I did a search and cant figure out how a i will get the nitrous to stop before a shift if your window is set a 5600 rpm or so and then if it shifts once the rpms drop wont it let the gas come back on? I dont get it? Sorry for the stupid ?'s

The idea on a stock a4 trans is not to shift while spraying.So if your shift point is at 5700(stock most years)you set your window switch for 5500.the no2 stops spraying at 5500 and your car shifts safely at 5700.

I was cutting mine off at 5400 before but the was to big of a gap between the on and off that’s why I'm going to 5600 now.

I like it much better. When it was shutting off at 5400 there was a big drag before it hit again, which I didn't like.

so when it shifts, as the rpm's come down, it will "hit" again but wont it hit before it fully shifts or is there a delay? I am very sorry but I still dont get it fully...

I have it set to come on at 3000, so the car is out of the hole and the tires are hooking good by that time, and it sprays all the way to 5600 and shuts off, then the car shifts from 1-2 at 5700. When the car shifts the RPMs drop, watch your tach, and then the nitrous comes on again at 3000, and then the cycle starts again. Just trying to eliminate spraying through the shift as it is harder on the tranny.
