Dose Pipe Sutututu

When you're in Sydney next, come drive my shit box. It's not 450kW, but it's 437kW, we can make it 450kW if we drop the cat, and drop the plumb back lol... Has VCT, has 8600rpm limiter, has twin scroll.

Reduced low down torque, so your turbo will come on later. And if it's a single scroll setup, expect a later rpm for your turbo to come on song. Removing VCT is silly on a mild car, especially if predominantly for street use.

Lol .. I own a GTShitbox-T, not allowed in.

The plan was to sell it just before warranty runs out. However the car market is so cooked, cost of living is as bad as aids, mortgage repayments have nearly doubled so yeah nah, will keep it for now. Also if we were to replace it with the same Tiguan, we will end up paying more and getting less safety features.

Thank you! Will definitely make my way out there before the next track day 🙂

(personal opinion) I prefer to run a 1.0 to 1.1 bar radiator cap, FWIW with my 1st motor (stock), I had a 1.1bar radiator cap using an off the shelf 42mm PWR radiator and the car was thrashed and cooled down for a good 10 laps on a near 40 degree day at Wakefield Park. Water temp never went past 120 C (from memory) and no coolant was gurgling, albeit it did have a 25 row Setrab oil cooler. I even used the A/C on cool down laps lol.

doesn't need to be pretty, just needs to be strong and not crack like all the others on the street! Once you paint it or powder coat, will be sexual!

Needs more Samsonas

What you've highlighted is not the PCV, it's just a cam cover fitting. Those are press fit on, you could use a pair of pliers to twist & pull and it will come out. Use a touch of WD40 to help you pull them out. Also I advise putting a breather directly on your cam covers like that, please use a catch can.

PWR if you're rich, superb coolers OR Koyo, just works. I would avoid that brand that's big in America and looks like rebranded eBay radiators with flashy marketing.

@r32-25t has a story too LOL

Send it, we bought a brand new German shit box, first thing I did was put it into Sport mode and WOT out of the dealer. After the 1st tank of fuel, used launch control several times.

Wow you went tits out replacing parts, spent more that just fitting up a Haltech lol.

A few other SAU members recently had to deal with their incompetence too. One person that's doing a RB swap had enough and rocked up unannounced after a year of waiting around ended up getting other customer's parts off the shelf that day lol.

Hypertune, episode 2654264

At least the idle will be angry lol.

lol.. yeah that would help!

You could always pop it on your tuner's dyno and start retarding the exhaust cam gear 1 degree at a time, you'll see a drop off down low, hear a grumpier idle however would expect the top end to pick up!

but we are pro black, pro blue, so it's ok here!

@Predator1 overall AFRs look good, to be honest the torque graph looks pretty sensible too. I suppose the easiest option it to drop the plumb back external wastegate and do a run and overlay the graphs. As @GTSBoy has mentioned the turbo is probably out of puff, however there are other thing to play around with to try extract more power.

eMAP is not bad at all! @Predator1 What are your AFRs like? Also do you have EGTs by any chance? Let's say theoretically a few injectors are running a bit lean, your overall combined average AFR would be lean, naturally a tuner would dump in more fuel to make the average overall number look safe again. Now because of that, you're dumping in much more fuel than needed and overall making a little bit less power than expected. Not saying that it's the case, but good to rule out one more thing. Lastly, just to rule it out, just dump your wastegate to atmosphere for a dyno pull and see if you make heaps more power. What are other cars with the same-ish setup making?

Another coil pack issue solved! As soon as you said you had coilpacks that weren't either black or blue we all knew of your problem.

Honda vibes 😎

Apologies if you've said it before, but how's your exhaust designed/plumbed? Yeah Hypertune, a few too many stories and their customer service is non-existent unless you're a big workshop. Your IAT looks ok, however would be great to see what your pressure is pre/post. EMAP doesn't look bad either.

And here's me going into T1 at nearly 160km/h, on street tyres and no aero lololol.
