Exhaust Question.....Resonator delete....is it worth it.?
Hello Goublin
Im just stocked to see another passat r fan in brisbane for starters. Iv loved mine for nearly a 2 years and I started modifying mine the 2nd day I had it. I put a set of black rotiform rims on and then lowered it (this did start some issues with VW as the height sensors failed but once I figured out how to change them I was all good, VW had no idea on how to fix it).
Ive also done the resinattor delete, turbo muffler delete and replaced all of the intake air piping including new filter. Plus other small things here and there. But most of my mods have been done on VCDS, like being able to change the colour of my dash and the like.
I have spent many many many hours with my rosstech and obdeleven tools and not just my current passsat b8 but my b7 alltrack, mates Audi S3's, many golf r's and even the wifes little Polo Beats Edition. Iv had even had people in europe ask me to do coding on there passats. Long story short I know how to rectify your lag during launch control.
There are a few settings in the ABS modual that need to be adjusted to prevent the power being cut to the engine during the launch. They are simple settings PM me and I will give you a walk through.
Also please look up my page on facebook. Its called Benifications, its my side hobby, helping people who want VCDS changes but dont know how to do them safley.
Also regarding your warranty, I wouldnt worry too much. On my first Passat within the first month of learning VCDS I wipped one of the control modules (first and only time btw) so I took it to VW and told them what I had done and they where happy to fix it under warrenty. If your up front with them and dont flat out lie to their face they generaly are pretty good with most issues. Plus they always have to prove that it was the mod that caused the failure anyhow.
Cheers Ben

Okay guys update:
With all my mods on i took the car to the track. The best qtr mile i ran with new turbo was 12.7secs. Now remember i did 12.106 at stage 2. Although the tune was no good and have previously blown 2 turbos before changing tuner. We knew something is quite right and suspect the LPFP. When i cross checked all the fueling parts with VW against the GOLF R the lpfp was the only thing that was different. I then purchased a CTS upgraded pump. When we took out the lpfp...it doesnt fit with out chopping and modding. Not wanting to risk screwing it up and having the car off the road, i shopped round and eventuallly bought a LPFP from Lithuiania.
This is on its way. In the mean time i am speaking to a guy in Bulgaria that is doing exactly the same on a skoda superb and is getting help from REVO. he has been good enough to update me and send instructions and pics. So when my pump arrives we can follow the same way he did it.
The other issue i have had, and this is ever since i got the exhaust done is an occasional smell in the car of exhaust gas when redlined - not always but happens often. We have checked the car for exhaust leaks, there are non. My mechanic and tuner cant figure it out.
The car is still quick pumping out 254 awka and i very quick through the mids. I just think there is more in it for a stage 3
Any comments, experience or feedback gratefully received - happy to explain further should i of missed anything
