The easiest thing to test that the positive pressure valve is working is to unbolt the PCV from the valve cover but still keep the intake manifold hose connect while doing a boost leak test. There should be no air flowing through any part of the PCV during this test. I like to make sure the PCV is subjected to the same amount of boost as it would on the car (roughly 28-30psi would be good for the test).

This. i know i am not the only person who has swapped TOP and TBP and was surprised at the thin layer of oil on both sides of my FMIC

all dyno runs are STD corrected on the same dyno. you decide I guess. I don't really care much for dyno numbers as opposed to how the car runs.
I put bus lengths on the stage 2+ Rs and that 331whp k04 mkv and I run dead even with the lo400 R so my car is running great , minus the dsg slip im having. I can post my other dyno runs where the graph dips when the dsg slips in the midrange and the rpms shoot up. if im not mistaken the limit of the dsg on stock tune is 400wtq?
Holy cow dude. That post is as informative and well written as anything I read on mk6. My job requires me to write an occasional technical type report, and it takes me a long time to bang out something that can be easily understood by those that are not technical in background.
Thank for taking the time to write it.
BTW, I got v3.1 Friday and I am a fan. Prior to getting it, I was a HUGE doubter! I still miss that low end boost, but if I was given the choice to go back to v2.2, I wouldn't.

Dyno Results
Thanks bro, I appreciate it. You know you did a good job when a garage full of VW Techs are peering their eyeballs all over the vehicle trying to figure out whats been done.
ZERO Custom Parts, jigger riggs or anything! Everything Engine Related, is 100% APR bolt on from the Inter-cooler all the way to the Exhaust Tips.
The only thing in the Engine Bay that is not APR is the Neuspeed power pulley, the Spark Plugs and the Coils.
And I did that dyno run when it was BAKING HOT outside, I believe it was around 90 degrees down here in Stamford, CT yesterday and I was in the straight up City too, no Trees, no Grass, just concrete jungle Son! So imagine if I do this dyno in November.
Nonetheless, the APR FMIC does such an excellent job keeping the Engine nice and cool, there was basically no power loss when we did back to back runs, and this was right after I drove the $ H I T out of the car on my way back from Fairfield, CT. I got into it with a brand new Maserati Ghibli and a Carbon Fiber Hooded (Long Island Guido) M3 on 95 so you can only imagine how hard r I was on the ca right before I hit the Dyno, and if you don't know me, I DRIVE HARD!!!
Another point to consider, when we did the 93 Run, it was on Barely Empty. Then I went for another quick spin to try and use up the rest of the 93 Octane before we dumped the 100oct Fuel in. But there was a good amount of 93 octane fuel left in the tank when we put the 100oct Fuel in, the Gas gauge was in the middle of the Red "Empty" Area just to give everyone an idea of how much 93 Octane was left in the tank.
Just some additional parameters to take into consideration before everyone goes and tries to contest how well APR did with the v3.1 Tune. Just like Jaime said, there is no 100% accurate way to compare 1 dyno result to another, unless you have both cars being compared at the same dyno at the same time, etc... If you don't have that meet those conditions then comparing dyno charts from different times and geo-locations is like watching gay porn, it's just WRONG!
A Car's dyno results are a benchmark for that car and no others, unless the above parameters are met.

Ready to race!
After getting the v3.1 update and the Stage II DSG tune yesterday all I can say is I am now blown away. This tune is now amazing and I couldn't believe the night and day difference over my bugged v3.0. The low end is back, no trouble gunning it in 5th or 6th on the highway to pass people again and is just so smooth. Thanks again Jamie and APR for making this right.
Its nuts. You are gonna luv it!
