Im looking to get the kit from a low mileage S3 just waiting for the right car in a breakers. Ive read i can leave the N75 unplugged??

Planning a K04 conversion on my TFSI BWA, would need to travel approx 100 miles to get to the tuner for the custom map, will i be ok with the APR stage 2 map for travelling?

Will speak to a mate and try his see how she drives. I just thought if it was a genuine bosch refurb it would be as good as a dealer maf. You would think they would get tested before leaving the factory? Poor service from Bosch! I believe the car will be running in open loop with maf...

No way! Thats shocking! Got both mine from ECP :-( They are bosch recon. Isnt that what you get from the stealers?

Yes i will try and have a look at the connector/wiring to the MAF, Surely 2 out of 2 genuine MAFs arent faulty? when i had the MAF plugged in i did some logs and the MAF readings looked fine? would this not show up a connector issue? Are there any other sensors that are linked to the MAF? That...

I have been having some issues with my car, i fitted new coils, plugs, full coil loom, injector seats, inlet gaskets. Still no better, i had done some logs with VCDS and MAF readings seemed all good. I then read on a post that the MAF logs dont tell the full story. The MAF that was on the car...

Yes will try and find someone who can smoke test. Most of hoses are silicone, have also changed the metal/rubber charge pipe hose to an AGU one so think thats ok. Also deleted most of the emisions stuiff and also have catch can. I hoped this would simplify things and cause less issues lol.Could...

Ive boost leak tested a few times and cant hear any leaks. Could do with smoke testing really. If there is a leak it must be very small. I replaced Maf around 12months ago for a new genuine part. I cleaned the sensor just before doing the logs. Do the logs not tell the full story when it comes...

The only code i have is for the SAI which i have removed. Before resetting they were on 1.2 Idle and -6.3 Multi. At the mo they are at 0.8 idle and -2.3 multi

Thanks tuffty, think im just hoping to find something that will explain whats happening lol. Why would it be that the car runs better when fuel trims have been reset? Also is there any other tests i can do with VCDS to give the car like a health check?

Thanks for the reply Karl. Just wondered why CF's were only on the one cylinder? So N75 duty cycle is ok? Car does seem to drive nice on WOT its seems more part throttle or coming on boost that its a bit rough. Any more comments welcomed

Having a few running probs with the car, did some 3rd gear logs today, I see there is some timing pull but only on one cylinder? Im running a Revo stg 2 map on my AUQ. The MAF readings seem a little low for stage 2? Can anyone give me any feedback good or bad? Ive reset the fuel trims not too...

Damn, thought id cracked it. Need to do some logs this weekend. can i do any logs to see if its fuel starvation? Ive changed loads of stuff, N75, MAF, coils, Plugs, all silicone hoses, AGU pancake pipe hose, injector seats,inlet manni gasket, cleaned TB. Now im lost :-( Only things i can think...

Just been thinking, i didnt have any pressure applied to the small vac line on the top. Does this pressure normally keep the valve closed?

Didnt see that, very good post! what sort of issues would the leaking valve cause?
