Logging the fuel trims with VCDS is a good tell tale for leaks. Blocks 032 and 111.

Gavin

All hooked up mounted and working good I'll throw up a photo later
I just tapped the battery and earth wires into the head unit wires and got the light wire tapped into the heated seats switch if anyone thinks I'll have any problems with it let me know

All done

Another engine warning light today so doesn't look like it's the bov cos it's plumbed I just can't win with this car lol

Unlocked, don't know why it was locked though? Slip of the mouse?

All good thanks Gav

Anyway I've decided to finally pull my thumb out and going to get it chipped. Gonna do a service on it first I got some new NGK PFR6Q laser platinum plugs yesterday and going to pick up some oil and filter on the weekend and hopefully have enough time to do it. I get the feeling the reason my car is throwing error codes in high revs was cos of the cheap 10 buck plugs lol

Going with the revo tune they claim 156kws so I hope to get a good kick in the arse from driving on standard tune for a year but I get the feeling I'm expecting too much lol I'm going for a tune in 2 weeks so I'm excited to see how it goes

No worries.

Try and log it before and after to see what the difference is in the MAF readings. TBH all tunes make the same power within a few kw.

Mate, that Revo tune would be 156KWs @ the Flywheel? Are you going to VW Village (they tuned mine) or Peak Performance?
Last dyno I had was 133 KWATW & good torque curve too. Fitted the THS FMIC since then. Gavin has driven mine recently, pretty much to his expectations for the tune. Cheers Al

Yeah 156kws @ the flywheel so if I get around or over 125kws at the wheels I'll be happy and I'll be going to peak performance at North Parra. I serviced the car today forgot how much of a pain the oil filter was lol

Noticed from the cheap plugs that the car is running a bit learn guessing from the random boost spikes too 12-13psi. Bit busy this week but should be all good to go in and get it chipped next week :banana:

Got bored of waiting so I'm booked in for tomorrow for the revo stage one tune :banana:
