I think EDL is only a rear wheel function.
My main concern is keeping correct brake bias. I used to kill fuse 42 to disable esp and that made it very prone to brake lockup.

I don't want EDL either, but would like to preserve brake biasing.

EDL is a function of the ABS system. I think you're boned there. |

thankfully, I think a proper rear diff will make it irrelevant  |

It may be old news, but on the srs forum, there's a guy selling slightly modified 944 turbo diffs for s4's.

I swear my EDL is active 40+MPH, it's a 4.2 C5 A6... I've read that on the S cars it's active up to 50MPH, maybe the 4.2 is like that? I donno. lol
Honestly, I don't mind the EDL, though it does make me feel a little uneasy on ice, but it would also be kinda nice if it were more aggressive.
I would think that with a real LSD in either axle, the wheels would never actually spin enough to activate the EDL.

I'm just scared that if I numb ASR but not EDL, the ECU will request full torque while EDL is doing its thing.

I don't think it should be an issue, the EDL can't (or shouldn't) provide enough pressure to be able to lock a wheel or slow it enough to be a problem, it's just enough to transfer a little torque.
Ever drive a car with a spool and one broken axle? While it's a real interesting ride, it's not super hard to control.
If you have full torque and the wheels are slipping and kicking EDL, it shouldn't be any different than it would be if it could limit torque, it just don't be as effective (it'll try, but probably won't apply enough brake pressure).

I'm more concerned about heat and pad wear on the track...

Ha Ha ha ....just get some 4R-1 porterfield pads and DBA rotors to deal with heat  Maybe some cooling ducts. There have been times I have set fire to my pads at the track due to speed and late braking after 15 laps.. can I say heat soak lol  Lee |

Don't your cars have an ESP button?
If they don't perhaps you should retrofit it? All euro cars do.
And you WILL destroy most limited slip diffs with EDL.

Yes, but sometimes I'm too lazy to press it  Would love to know if there is a way to code the ESP module to have it default disabled. And you WILL destroy most limited slip diffs with EDL.
I was afraid of this. What can i do? |

its worth splitting your brake and clutch fluid resivoirs to separate containers if heat is an issue, nothing more exciting than barrelling into a corner at 130, stomping the brakes and feeling them boil, going to knock it down a few cogs and realising that 4th is the only gear you can get because the clutch fluid is also boiling. Personally I run ds2500s and adjust my driving style to suit and seldom get heat issues, but then Wales is notably cooler than CA  |
