Hoyhoy.
Have fun tomorrow Greg, the best advise I can give ya is to not worry about PB's & have fun, ya might be surprised.
Detuned to stock from CC in preparation for the Malone tune
Thanks Gavin for all the helps while I was with CC
What's the difference between the Malone and cc tunes?
You can get some additional features in the Malone tunes that we don't do. PD TDI | Malone Tuning Ltd
Custom-Code can tune the TDI with any turbo, it's just a bit hard with the full width of the country to contend with.
I don't consider one to be better than the other. You need to buy the Flashzilla box too.

Changed gearbox oil, old oil was dark, thin and my god did it have a strong stench to it!
It was a regularity race so I shouldn't have been chasing PB's - the aim was to be consistent as possible in our stints (about 70 minutes since we had 5 in the team). I did get close on one lap which meant it was wasted as it below my nominated target time.
The turbo should be nice and clean after 33 laps today :) (+ about a dozen yesterday in practice/qualifying)
Changed the strut tops and bearings in the silver car. The bearings appeared ok, but the casing fell off once the spring became untrapped... Oh well, no more creaking. Still a few little noises in the front, perhaps swaybar bushes or links a little loose. I've also experienced intermittent low boost feeling, scanned it and got an error about the N75 valve being open. Can't recall the code off the top of my head and I'm now away for work. Cleared the fault and will look further into it. Quick research suggested either electrical fault in wiring or the N75 itself.
Re the red car and turbo bolts, going to chase some workshops to see what can be done. Given the larger manifold I can't even fit a ratchet spanner between the top of the bolt head and the engine. Ughhh. And still planning to do a full day with Paul Stokell at Morgan Park next weekend... might not be in the red car.
How low was your boost when it was dropping, was it just a bit down or all the way down to wastegate actuator spring pressure?
