What DV you running? Rubber seal missing?The car has just done something REALLY weird.
I tightened up all the boost hoses, found a couple which were a little weak so replaced them.
Went out for a drive and got a couple of miles down the road, long enough for the car to get to 90. Put my foot down and it felt the same as it did before; not a very linear throttle and whilst it is smooth it is jumping up 10psi and needs a lot of throttle to go above 5psi.
Did two pulls, and thought I would video the third to show Prawn. Full throttle from 4K and it sounded like an SR20, screaming its tits off so loud I assumed the back box had seperated or fallen off. Let off after 2000rpm of this and it was still very boomy and noisy, and there was a very loud noise coming from the front of the car, it sounded like a screamer pipe.
Anywho.
Drove it on for a mile to the next roundabout and came to a stop, and it went quiet again. Pulled away like normal and the car was fine, perfectly linear boost delivery and driving really well. Unlike for the last week...Drove it home and all fine, the exhaust is a little blowy (it wasn't) and there was the usual "short run" amount of mayo in the filler cap.
So, something stuck in the actuator maybe? Sticky actuator? What shall I do?

will it run an adaption cycle on block 060 in basic settings?
Glad to hear mate, shame the rear bushs arnt castor ones though haha, sorry couldnt resist.
Is VVT a cold start feature?
I thought it was something else.
On ko3 based engines VVT is just used during cold start yes Scott.
On ko4 engines it's used when up to temp as well to optimise performance low down I believe, and recent developments have shown midrange gains from tuning the VVT change over point on VVT equipped engines
**** it, I just gooned the tits off it on the way home and realised Prawn is right.
Far too much time and effort has gone into it for me to sell it on. And besides I am never going to get anything as fast, well spec'd and generally awesome even if I did get 3k for it.
Looks like I just committed March's pay to rods :/

Not even going to attempt reading through this thread, mission lol. The car looks great though! How does launch control work in a manual car? I presume its manual... Were you on swdubs a while back? Recognise your name.

Wow! So do you floor it with the clutch down first then just take your foot off the clutch? Your S3 Loves to rev doesnt it! A lot more than mine does anyways.
Oh yea I know matt. I wasn't aware he was having problems with it.
You go to the SOS meets do you? Went to the last one in my well old skool s3! Til we realised the police were there and my mates r32 skyline doesn't have much tread on the rear tyres (shocker), so we left pretty soon haha.

High comp pistons? in yours?
You've confused me there....
**** me thats quick!
Haha. That's one thing i don't like about the S3, its a bit boring, its quiet, and so planted. I loved my mk2 ABF, was so lairy.
Thats a very good offer! What if i turn up in a taxi off my head? lol
If you're serious about getting rods, that's the time to swap the turbo out, as the head will be off and it'll be easy.
