I am so lucky I am able to do stuff myself and don't have to rely on wasters who can't do a proper job and try and rip people off. If you are paying good money you expect the job to be done correctly. There are too many people who haven't got a clue what they are doing. What year is your car? I...

I ran an APG head on my 500BHP TT for quite a while with no issues. I had bought a complete head with cams to use the cams only. After the Wossner piston failed and scrapped the engine I rebuilt a new engine and used the APG head. As stated earlier the head casting and porting is the same as a...

Are they the the 2 round green seals 7 and 9 in the diagram. I don't think they are available from VAG any more. The sizes are on the diagram so you may get them elsewhere. £200 is a joke. I have reused them before with no issues...

Unfortunately the stock box has a few weak points that will be found out sooner rather than later once you get over 500Nm. Typically the 4th gear shreds. Two ways of attacking this replace the stock box with another stock one. They are cheap enough and some people just swap boxes out. Not the...

The output of the sensor is a digital frequency output so needs to goto one of those inputs on the ECU. I used pin 39, on my car the turbo speed sensor is user input 2.

A speed sensor is a good thing to have if you are looking to push the limits of the turbo. The G series range of turbos seem quite sensitive to overspeeding and Garret themselves make a big thing about not going over the design RPM. Measuring the speed isn't an issue I have a speed sensor on my...

A lot of it is in the first 60ft. You will find with a DSG box that your times from 330ft to the quarter mile will be very similar as long as you are running the same map. The really quick cars tend to run drag slicks , Have LSD's and are really stripped of weight. At those kind of events they...

Like the number plate very apt. A DSG remap makes such a great difference allowing you to use all the performance of the car. Been watching doorslammers on You Tube this morning. Great coverage but not the same as being there. Fireforce 3 is just on now. The noise that thing makes is epic...

One of the new plugs was faulty? Or you fitted new plugs because one was faulty. What plugs are you using?. Oil pressure around 1.2-1.5 bar is good at idle. Tweaking the idle speed up a little can increase oil pressure a few tenths of a bar. I find oil temp usually a few degrees over water temp...

I swapped the squib in my car for the one used in the DSG cars as it has more ways available for the DSG paddle connections , I have no issues. With ESP disabled on the ABS I couldn't get launch control to work on my DSG gearbox as the stock software needs to see ESP switched off before allowing...

I have had the ESP coded out on my TT for years with no issues. I did used to get intermittent errors with the Yaw sensor when I first had the car and there is a common issue with these. The IC on the PCB is very poorly soldered and can actually detach from the PCB. The PCB is potted in the box...

No, Ignitron has it's own error reporting scheme that you can alter and adjust as you see fit. A lot of it will be similar to what a stock ECU will do. You can download the Ignitron software and have a look at what it does. You don't need an ECU to see what most of the software does.

I do not understand the part about Haldex settings. If you tinkered with something then just change back what you altered. You can compare two setting files side by side on a laptop and see what the differences are.

Personally I think 5w-30 is too thin for these engines, especially if the engine has been tuned. 800 rpm is also lowish for the idle speed. If you switched to a 10w-40 fully synthetic and upped the idle to 850 rpm you would probably find better oil pressure.

I would have thought the Subaru would have been a GDI engine and not port injection. The CAN protocol would be different as well so it's not going to work I would say.

I would say that that was a blown fuse on the fuel pump circuit. Is the car still working?

Nick at Decimal Tenths is in Sunderland . Closer to you than Badger 5 and would do a good job as well. https://decimaltenths.co.uk/

Where abouts in the country are you? As above Badger 5 are very good .

There is something very funny as you say with the knock sensor readings. The bolt securing them needs to be torqued to 20Nm . If the bolt is loose or too tight this can cause issues. Try swapping them over and make sure the bolt is tightened correctly. Your boost control isn't right either , not...

Keep the knock sensor. You need to be running less sensitive setting for the knock. you can apply less sensitive setting using the base file wizard and unticking all options except the least sensitive knock option. Apply the settings to the file then write it to the car. You could check the...
