What have you done to your car today?

I\'m not too sure, just going by what I was told. In the little box bottom right it says Less boost, Out of injectors and fuel pump, det.

I was actually running 20 PSI during the beginning but we had to turn it down to 18.5 because the tuner said it was too lean to even do a pull.

(I was boosting around on 20 psi the day before....oops!)

Put it this way - add in some 30 degree weather or something and you could see some bad times

There\'s a difference between a tuned motor being setup at X AFR and boost etc - and a factory ecu etc just literally being maxed out at 100% duty cycle

(That said at least upgrading to slightly bigger squirters isn\'t terribly hard or $$ these days)

My green wagon was a running 12.2afr at 27psi boost and it wouldn\'t be b]what I would call[/b] lean?

and you were you\'re own tuner so there you go. you in effect agree with me ;)

No couldn\'t find one, the one I lined up the guy sold it and didn\'t tell me pissed me off. I wouldn\'t buy sight unseen and would have to if I went outside of akld and there are none around here I was interested in. Need one quick as starlet as died a death shame guess wasn\'t meant to be.

Not sure why it\'s that laggy. Maybe need a new boost controller.

That is so awsum

My mate had similar mods on his v3 Sti and only made like 170kw

Think he had 180km but still ur one is super nice on the power side

12.3 is not too lean by yea on hot days cud cause issues if u boost it hard

Be better if was lower tho

But all in all nice effort man

On the stock Ecu the timing migh not be ideal hence they got det

Are u planning Ecu change next?

Piss around with the fuel tank fabrication, install some new endless pads on the race car and bought this:

How do you find it? I was looking at them for wifey as well - they seem like a lot of car for the money

Trade me, it may be a nightmare but a good mate of mine is a master Audi/ vw mechanic trained in the uk so I can get things done cheap. Cam belt is costing box of beer.

They don\'t have the best rep and its basically a passat so you would save loads if you get a vw. Both us drove this car and it was all good so worth the risk. According to research I did they break a lot mine however only has to do 25 km a day.

Feels like its quicker on boost but I havent really given it a good thrash yet. I want to check AFR first.

I am thinking this might find me an extra few KW tuned. I will put up a back to back Dyno sheet when its tuned. It will be a back to back direct comparison as nothing has changed except the turbo.

Probably next year but not yet. The engine spits oil from the BOV when and driver\'s side heads knock when cold. I want to rebuild/forge it. Then a G3 or G4, fuel pump, injectors.

Still need to get it certed as well...

Full time student + only working few hours a week = not a lot of money to spend on cars :(

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
