Radium venturi kit, Walbro 450L, send it.

[MAP / fuel pressure typical delay times]

You would expect very little, here are random bits of data recorded on my ECU last time I pulled it off (it's just when TPS us over 90%)

 

[R34 GTT - Bottom end build question]

for $2000, that's not too bad in today's market.

Perhaps go to a local engine builder and get new rings/bearings put in and send it.

My NEO head has new valves, valve guides, upgraded springs and retainers, upgraded cams, and all new gaskets, i don’t see why it would be a good idea to put in a second hand stock head? Stock valve spring don’t like handling much past 18PSI of boost comfortably, so would be silly to downgrade to a stock head I would think?

 

It was just more what will require the least effort & cost to get your car doing 300kW.

If this was my car, I would just get a basic forged kit and fit it up, and if your bores aren't scored and within spec just get 86mm pistons so there's no need to bore out the block.

No idea who gave you that $20k quote, however it can be done sensibly for much less.

[R34 GTT - Bottom end build question]

Your NEO head is worth quite a bit of coin, and since it has been serviced it is already in tip top condition. You could sell that and you'll have only a small shortfall for a used 2nd hand NEO motor.

Slap on a new head gasket, using major service kit, a few new seals here and there and you'll have a very capable motor to do 300kW ~ 400kW all day.

Why enable a feature and not expect it to be used?

It's like having a hot missus you can't bang.

Do we have the same box in our Tig... Didn't you tell me they were reliable lol 

Could just be a sensor?

Yeah the DQ500, uses wet clutches and found in the RS3 and TT-RS.

It's the clutch position sensor that has failed, hence it can't determine any of the odd gears when the box gets warm. From scouring the web, it only seems to have affected earlier Tiguans only, some have speculated it was a manufacturing issue at one of the plants.

VW will replace the entire mechatronic board instead of the sensor (which involves removing and soldering a new sensor on). Guess it requires less effort from their techs.

Just my luck.

Thanks @Duncan let's see how I go next week.

For good measure, just happened again. Daily occurrence 🥲

Will get it fixed and wait till the Minister of War & Finance is back to work so we have more cash flow instead of torching our savings before we buy a new shit box (won't be a Nissan, soz).

Hopefully they do a goodwill repair on it. Fingers crossed for you 🤞

I hope so, hope being loyal to the stealership has some positive(s).

Shitbox has been exclusively serviced by VW, even though I could do it myself for heaps less.

Is it still under warranty?

Literally just 6 months and 5 days out lololol.

 

[Dose's Sometimes DIY and Pay Someone Home & Boat Improvement Thread]

That makes it 2x broken cars at home.

Both kind of work, one leaks coolant when warm one skips 1,3,5,7 gears when warm.

Lol.

I presume neither of you have any of that nonsense on the Skyline

I still apply a slight damper on it, so it's not so sensitive, which I assume most don't.

AC idle? no worries
AC idle & big brap cams? no worries

no hunting or stalling at the lights, etc. cold starts, warm starts, etc. so good!

I don't get the whole dBw iS sLOw brigade, they clearly don't know anything!

Or just buy a stock M2 or M4.

[R34 Brake Upgrade advice]

Double check with the guys at HFM, might be because they're using  different rotors.

Regardless, you can adapt the rear Brembos, that's the main point.
