Did you end up fitting this? Where did you source it from China? Do you have the front facing camera, any issues?

Just be aware that its possible that if you unplug your valves that you will lose power due to the soft error codes and the car pulling timing to protect the engine, it was 100% the case on RS3's and dyno proven, no dyno test for that on this car yet though, but be aware its possible. I...

Wow is that it? Do you need to use VCDS or OBD11 or something to put the brakes into 'service position' is that what its called? That it? Then the pads just come out? Might even be worth doing just to properly check my pad wear.

What did the wheel set you back in AUD?

The car will not throw a code if, a. The correct plugs are used. b. They are fitted properly. Your wording makes it seem like it's a given that there will be a fault code and you are wrong if that is what you are saying, that's what I am trying to clarify here. The plugs do not guarantee a...

Yeah then your mate had the ones with the incorrect resistor for his car, which is my point. These do NOT limit power when the right ones are used. This is my dyno sheet. very normal curve. When the plugs are wrong, the curve takes a **** over 5k.

yes, they work, there are no codes, and car makes full power with them in use. Yours may have not been the right ones, there is a resistor which is in a different place on those plugs, you have to make sure its the right version or they do not work. You should hit up where you bought them from...

You dont wanna drive it for at least a month to make sure its not a faulty car in some way? You got balls instantly voiding your powertrain warranty like that.

Your misfire count looks normal except for cyl2, they should be within 10-15% of each others numbers. Mine logged about 900 in 6-7 months, so its about right... Ive since tuned and the counter resets each time you flash the car. I think the transmission bumping around with downshifts is more...

Well we don't have the autobahn here and you get shot for speeding :) I have been logging my car since getting Unitronic stage 1+ and truth is our 98 is not up to snuff. It pulls timing right after 41C IATs. If I add 4L of E85 to the 98 tank it runs well and pulls zero timing. Our 98 here has...

On mine the sidewall with the Michelins sticks out probably 7 or 8mm. And with the sidewall being much stronger actually IMO, I think there is a bit more likelihood of protection now than there used to be. The Pirelli's definitely saved my *** once or twice, but my wife... both times, the...

LOL.

I wouldn't say I have no issues, but I would definitely say I have a lot less issues. I don't see the TC light come on nearly as often for sure. But having 500hp now means I also stick it in sport when I get on the gas pretty hard. I really don't think the TC thing can actually be fully solved.

Yeah you could. But actually 35 profile means the Speedo will in reality be more accurate. They are about 3% off already on these cars from factory. When I go past radars now it says my speed is spot on.

Not on my car it doesn't, not if you run them square, its actually improved the stock staggered pirelli hypo TC issue. I dont get why everyone on this UK forum thinks the Michelin's CAUSE the TC issues... Y'all running staggered Michelin's?
