Dose Pipe Sutututu

Pack of arseholes. No Maria, your bullsiet email doesn't find me well. Typical VW Australia, bunch of flogs. First and last VW shit box for me.

I personally don't like Ross, and especially after they sold me a PS idler kit that was poorly designed and doesn't work with the RB25 out of the box. Another person has the same issue too. I emailed them numerous times, sent them photos, videos, etc. and they've ghosted me the pricks.

We must be related. I use a NZ Cam trigger kit with an ATI balancer. I needed to get a custom PS pulley to suit the RB25 PS pump from Hi Octane Racing. Motor hasn't exploded yet, makes 437kW, has seen half a dozen track days at SMSP, 2x silly wannabe Power cruise events and runs AC.

Won't need a billet block at this rate 🤣

Rip it out and sell it, someone will buy/install it so their JDM is period correct lol.

Nek minnit, Christian buy a F80 M3

I urge OP to take a photo of their dump pipe/screamer I'm curious to see if my assumptions are correct.

What a prick, the more you look, the worse it gets.

Is that screamer those silly pipes that go on the stock turbo? If so, I imagine a Venturi effect is present when you're coasting off boost and the narrowband O2 is registering a lean condition. Your ECU is now adding in fuel to compensate for the lean condition.

Inb4 Duncan has a sads Convert to a single, twin scroll modern turbo.

Pull off your front timing cover and see if the intake & exhaust cam is in the right spot vs. the crank pulley Easy check

And please don't get SSQVs

Sounds normal to me, OEM Nissan BOVs open as soon as you're below atmospheric and there's ever so slightly pressure being generated by the turbos. You'll probably get the turbo shuffle too from the two turbos pushing towards a single hot pipe too.

FWIW, using the Benshit code DB1520, this pad is shared with R32~R34 GT-R Brembo & 350Z. Same goes for Project Mu, Elig, Intima, etc. I am running the same Intima RR pads from a R32~R34 Brembo caliper on my 350Z Brembo setup.

If you want a equivalent turbo to make about the same power and response as your current one and to dose well you'll need to go something old school with a 6+6 blade (as you've mentioned). I'm thinking a TD06-25G, no idea how good these turbos are but in Precision speak it's like a 6058 (which doesn't exist, they do a 5858). A few random videos I found: As you have a 2.8L already, would a Precision 6266 OR a Turbosmart 6262 tickle your fancies? I would lean towards the Precision 6266 as it's offered in T4 divided so you can retain twin scroll for that low down & smooth power delivery.

Opportunity to convert to R35/370Z coils, those coils are more trouble than anything else. OEM (including R35/370Z) or Splitfire are the only sensible options. In the past when I was a broke lad in my 20s, I bought brand new colourful (won't mention the colour, but it's similar to my skin) looking coil packs and 2x actually came DOA! Ended up buying used Splitfires and instantly fixed my misfire issue.

Since @klutched asked for an update on the shit box, I thought I'll also share it here. Yeah, it's still a shelving unit lol. Anyone with keen eyes would have noticed the Kinchrome coolant pressure tester sitting on the roof.

Replace the Gates belt with an OEM belt, no more noise. Or just suck it up and wait for the Gates belt to soften up a bit.

it's a firmware upgrade to the Nistune board, I have the firmware writer you can borrow if you want (since you're in Sydney). Downloads are here: https://www.nistune.com/support/software-downloads Optionally you can just send back the board to Matt at Nistune and he can do it for you: https://www.nistune.com/nistune-shop/feature-pack-firmware-upgrade-detail

You forgot 2x zinger burgers too

If you're ok with wiring (or just buy the pre-made harness elsewhere) you could avoid the PRP tax and get one by EFI Solutions https://www.efisolutions.com.au/coil-conversion-kit-rb-to-r35-gtr

Shitbox update so VW Liverpool has gotten back to me on Thursday saying the gearbox control unit is on its way, should arrive at their service centre by early next week. They said VW Australia is only covering the parts and loan car and not the labour. I asked them to send me the quote so I can lodge a formal complaint with the crooks in head office. Anyhow I wrote somewhat a firm complaint, added piles of screen shots where others have had their repairs done and had the entire cost covered (this is done case by case, some Tiguan owners also had to pay for the labour some didn't)I even quoted the below from their website too. The irony is, some had their labour costs waived, even though their Tiguans didn't even have a full dealer service record, where mine does. If they don't budge with their decision on the labour cost, I'll take it up with NSW Fair Trading, noting the battle isn't with the dealer it's with VW Australia. This will be my first and last VW I suspect. Will move onto another shit box brand next and then have @Duncan say "I told you so, should have bought a Nissan".

Gets given to who can line who's pocket the best and what would stimulate the economy the most to generate tax revenue. So gambling, alcohol.

Wow what a turd

Has been years since I've played with it, however FP2 gives you some fun options
