I use the 4250mah pack from Protek and its great. Running whats known as a slim shorty (the less mah versions) get rid of a substantial chunk of weight out of the heaviest electronic component in the car....which isn't always a good thing. Cars these days, especially the B6, are already near the weight limit with a std shorty pack. Plus, a higher mah pack should hold a higher voltage longer compared to the lower mah pack.
