    didn't directly work on my car, but i spent about 3+ painfull hours tonight dismantling a faulty laptop to remove the motherboard so i could re-solder the power jac (connection had broken). felt amazing when the 50 million screws and cables went back on and it actually worked!

    reason i did this is because i wanted a backup laptop as gavins kindly sending me over an ecu and vag-com cable so I can do some tests this w/e

    Well, QLD's PPQ.com.au website had some new plate design on offer.

    So as you do I type's in a combo and low and behold was avail. So thought what the hell I'll take them.
    Once they are in my grubby hands and fitted up I'll throw up a new pic.

    cleared my stupid airbag fault with a ross-tec vag-com cable
    also got a fault code (among many others) "Maximum engine speed exceeded -- Engine warranty VOID! ; - )" haha
    i think the better one was "boost pressure exceeded" the last time it was scanned

    Fixed vacuum leak by replacing the lines with generic fuel lines. Had a bit of trouble getting it over some of the barbs. Ended up fixing that section but broke the hard plastic down the line so got another vacuum leak to fix. Also changed the fuel lines over. Installed fire extinguisher and opened up door yet again to look at the door module. Found the problem turns out the 4th micro-switch. Managed to fix it but turns out something else has broken and now my door wont lock. So have to fix that soon. Also going to replace the stupid plastic mounts with nuts and washers. Saved about $200 that way so im happy

    Not sure but it's a tune that's good for 500hp. I'm guessing it'd be the software that they usually run with the Stage 3 turbo kit since my hardware is along the lines of the stage 3 kit
