jeez
Ready to race!
Yah! And as it is I've spent enough money on the car. I've also done the updated tensioner to avoid pistons and valves saying hello up close. That's another big one, you probably know this.
I do, I'm actually the first one to get a K04 tune. It's almost been a year since I started tuning, no joke, but it's partly be cause of hardware. The one thing that definitely delayed stuff was my wastegate which was giving in at around 21 PSI, took us a little bit of time to figure it out. There's others that had the same turbo but their wastegate was fine. So it's a toss. Now, I'm troubleshooting limp mode and a whoosing/whistling sound, not sure what that is but I'm hoping it's not the turbo itself leaking. I'm replacing my PCV on the weekend hopefully to see if that's it..and I'm really praying that it is cause then it's going to be between the turbo or the tune. I've been told by separate shops I don't have a leak (about 3 separate times)...so I just have to figure this out by process of elimination. They did say the sound could be something the turbo has developed and could be nothing to worry about.
The car pulls though. Especially when it's cold, it pulls like a freight train. I've had tuned Mk6 R guy tell me it's pulling really well. He's a mechanic and he's got a balls out tuned R at 30+ PSI from Integrated Engineering. He said it's as fast as his. I would hope it's faster.
We'll see.
