    what is the max boost pressure the gtc1459vz can take (garrett cr170)

    Peak of 1.7 bar and tailing off to 1.6 bar is exactly where these should be at stage 2 :thumbs up: I've just had mine tuned and this is exactly what it's requesting, however I have an over boost of 1.8 bar on spool and a random under boost of 1.5 at around 3.8k when it's requesting 1.6 bar...

    8y downpipe - compatible with 8v? If not, what's available...

    Quick question - are aftermarket 8v downpipes compatible with the 8y? If not, what aftermarket performance downpipes with GPF/PPF delete are available for the 8y?.. I've seen SA tuning used a Scorpion downpipe on an 8y they tuned, but can't see anything 8y specific on the Scorpion website...

    Where to tap into for running Footwell LED

    Remove the the panel under the steering column, behind there you'll find a relay box with terminals on the underside which you can tap into... I can't remember exactly which ones do what but if you have a multi-meter to hand you'll quickly be able to determine constant and switched feeds -...

    Multitronic - whining in low gears on hard acceleration

    Just went and had a look and a really nice 2009 A6, 2.0 tdi 170 with 7 speed multitronic gearbox... Drove really well, seemed to select gears and go through the gears fine. However I noticed from a standing start if you give it a bit of welly there was an audible whine (borderline rattle)...

    High Mileage 2003 A3 8l 1.9 tdi Quattro, do you think this is a good idea?

    180k is absolutely nothing for a well looked after 1.9 PD lump... Mine was near 300k when I scrapped it and it still started on the button every time and ran like a dream. Only reason I scrapped it was cos the outside of the car was such a state!

    Any TFSI gurus here? . . Rattle from intake manifold area

    Thanks! . . I did also consider the swirl flaps myself. I'm not exactly sure how they work on the TFSI though. Car still runs and dirves fine... It's a very low milage vehicle also

    Any TFSI gurus here? . . Rattle from intake manifold area

    I will agree, very not normal! . . I've tried honing in on the sound with the old long screwdriver trick and I don't think it's coming from the valve-train though :/

    Any TFSI gurus here? . . Rattle from intake manifold area

    I've just finished doing the clutch on my mum's 63 plate Audi TT TFSI (it's FWD so the lesser one I believe?)... Upon starting it up there appears to be a rather audible rattle coming from the inlet manifold area... I never heard the car running before I did the clutch and I'm 99% certain this...

    Temp gauge problem?

    Most likely dodgy CTS sensor if 49 isn't moving from 30 degrees... 51 on the hidden menu isn't actually anything credible... It's an estimate on what the car thinks the engine temp would be based on how long it's been running. I think it's used for the HVAC. CTS from GSF is not much more than...

    Is the 1.8T 150hp MAF same as the 1.8TQS 180hp

    They will be the same diameter, just make sure they have the same plug... They should all be BOSCH MAF's though with the same plug
