Whats the deal with the tune then, whos doing it??

vRSAlex:
I'm trying the Revo stage 3 file at the moment.  I've got them to add linear throttle to the map, but as the hybrid isn't hugely different it should work fine.  All it may do is run out of fuel at the top with too much boost.

vRSAlex:
So, to the pics:

Inlet mani off



Head came off and then the old guts came out



Almost new pistons (from a 500mile X-Bow lump) fitted with new rings mated to the IE rods with some 'Sputter' big end bearings





One set back was having to strip the head to clean out the inlet ports and valves.  The gunk was a fooker to clean off.  After pics only.





My tray after cleaning (also need to repaint the wall!!)



I welded a boss onto the sump to hook up my Defi oil temp gauge.  Welded really nicely unlike most sumps.



Pistons all fitted with some ARP head studs



Only 200 miles left of running in.  I need the boost  :happy2:

Tfsi_Mike:
Great work  :drool:

Disturbing the stories of the crap on the inlet valves.  I hope the catch can helps.
