Did you buy this? I saw it for sale on their website for 20,250. Thought it was a reasonable deal... Especially with the recaros and other options.

So where do I start. I have avoided posting on here for hope of a simple fix.
I have found that some people have had this fully covered under warranty and some haven't. My car has Audi service history and was well within the guide lines but they still requested a 70/30 split which I paid...
So after driving around in the car for awhile it seems the problem is still there.
I have ordered new fuel injector seals/pintels and filters and a new intake manifold gasket to see if it helps but knowing that the idle fuel trim is readin -0.6% I am guessing it is not a vacuum leak.
Could it...
Well, gave her a service today (almost been 10k since previous..).
New plugs (NGK platinum) and my idle seems to be rock steady. Looking at plug 4 the spark might have been jumping a bit.
Will confirm if it's perfect over the next few days.
Thanks for your help all.

Its mainly an idle problem but when on the rollers at R-Tech we compared the spool on mine to another (Leon BAM I think?) and it was laggy and didn't spool as quickly? Does feel like it has very little torque... maybe I have got to use to a V8..
I've checked every vac pipe now and replaced...
Aligned the TB and no difference. It's not their on cold start, only when it starts getting a little warm.
Also the boost is tailing off according to vag com of requested against actual. Can't make boost higher up.
Any clues? Will be servicing the car in the next few hundred miles.
What parameters do you want me to log?
I logged the EGT temps and it seemed to be doing its job. Nothing sporadic although I am not sure what I am looking for...
Lambda sensor 1 at idle seems to be varying from +3% to -7%?
How do I attach any logs and which groups are best for me to log?
Dan
Fuel trims are ok I think, reads -0.6% idle and -3.9% partial.
i do have a log of a run up the road, do you have an email tufty? What are the best channels to log?
Car is completely standard apart from the pcv simplification, ran the same before this... Just got rid of a leak from the suction...
Hi all,
Hoping someone knowledgeable can chime in...
I thought I had a vac leak which was causing my idle to be a bit lumpy (varies by about 25-50rpm). Went through all the old pipes, deleted some of it even... made sure there is no leaks. When putting the car back together I forgot to plug...
Bought some supposedly original mirrors of what I thought was a reliable source on eBay and I think they are fakes?
Anyone know how to tell for sure? They are also preface lift and were listed as post (2001).
I thought the originals were aluminium but these have a bit if a plastic sound to them...
Just sold my daily so on the look out for a nice clean S3. Don't want to spend much more than 4k.
Ideally looking for a face lift imola yellow car. But will settle for anything with good options/mods/low miles.
If you find anything can you recommend me a car?
Thanks,
Dan
Hey Welly looks like this is producing some nice results now! Bet you are glad to be rid of the hybrid ko4....
You are running a similar RPM to me but a bit less torque - I was near 350lbft with a 7900 RPM limit before I killed the head and gave up. If/When I build another 1.8t I would do the...
So it looks like it spools similarly to a ball bearing based turbo - not sure how it will spool on a 1.8 though as that was a 1.9. Probably have to factor in 300-400rpm.
This is my current plot of the mapping Nick has done with the igntion map - next step is increasing the boost from holding...
Interesting choice of turbo.
What engine set up will you be going with?
Awesome GTI Store UK - Rolling Road
Bills car on there I believe.
What did you do after Bill to get another 35hp and a lot more torque through the rev band?
