If your A4 has a stock flywheel you can just blip the throttle a few times to build some boost. The resistance of the flywheel to motion will make the ECU see some load.

That being said, my best times at the strip in my A4 were by just getting the perfect combination of a tiny bit of clutch slip and the right throttle application tempo.

This was my best ET at 12.8, but not my best 60' time at all...(I'm on the right obviously)
