Had some time today so I got to working on the car 07916D76-92B6-4E3E-9C4E-AB3E4FFA57A7.thumb.jpeg.21447380dfaba7dd477196c8506384ce.jpeggot it all back together and took it for a drive, bit of a mixed review on the clutch! it definitely takes a bit more effort to drive compared to the ats but isn’t anywhere near as bad as I expected it to be. It’s quieter then the ats and even seems to dampen then gearbox chatter a lot better as well

I changed the oil yesterday and it had lost a substantial amount which was weird and  then last night I went roll racing and it started to make some ugly noises, then when I gave it a boot on the way home it surged so hard it sounded like a VL doseing down lygon st in Melbourne lol. 

So basically it’s blown a turbo, which was always a risk when they were second hand and had been pushed pretty hard previously. Now to look for a solution 

There’s got plenty of time to work things out, I’ve just bought another house and have a few things to do to it including building a new shed before anything will be done. 

So basically it’s going to be pushed into the corner for a while. While I’m fairly certain of which way I’ll be going, I’m waiting to see the results of another setup and may end up changing my mind

Whatever you do, don't share your plans on here or ask for any unbiased advice. 

Just make you choice, fit it all up, get a dyno sheet and just post that, but don't talk about the turbo selection, because it will be wrong - no matter what you choose. 

Also your life sounds like mine at present, new house, new shed, engine on hold :(

You obviously haven't read this thread... cause that's exactly what he does...

Family and Life comes first, cars come somewhere ninth or so.. no need to be sad.

I bought a Tiguan instead, forgot I even had a project car.

Yeah having to be a proper adult sometimes is a pain in the butt,

The positive for me is it didn’t take the engine with it (seen that happen) and I’ve got plenty of time cause the car isn’t going anywhere

    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
