It is do with the voltage they signal on, bwa has one point and it seems the s3 has to points.
Tips.
Just change it on your drive! only took me 1.5 days on my own, really easily job :drinking:

James, I can't believe this. I have had a lean problem for ages and spent loads trying to sort. I changed my G247 about a year ago due to, turns out in the end, a map problem.
It was given to me, I have my original Jesus I really hope it is I just bought new injectors!
Can you remember your fault code?
Lean off idle by any chance?

Yea was something like that, took me a little while to work out just started playing with the sensors and found this one to be the problem.
When i looked into it, i found out they are different on the ed30/s3/r have two points of signal and the axx/bwa have one. Once I installed my old one problem solved.
why did you change it??
You can also correct it in the map.

Well I popped to r-tech for a couple of days for some testing to find out really what this turbo can do with WMI!
We started off by setting up launch control at 4k but it was abit of an epic fail, the car has way too much power and just sits there! So I asked nick to have a look into limiting the power in 1&2nd to see if we could get a good launch! (still in testing)
The next fun part was seeing what we could get out of the old girl! The car was producing good power 380hp/400ftlb but the turbo was tailing off so much at the top end! (like normal) So went about adjusting the actuator on the turbo . We found it nearly made 50hp on the stop end! but you lose it down low but that suites me.
The next problem was we were getting a dip at 5800rpm then it would pick back up at 6200. Logged the LPFP and it was dropping to 3.9bar :( So I got the latest revision from TPS “1K0 919 051 DB” + new fuel filter it was then holding 4.2 bar so it is better but will need an inline fuel pump!!
Also just a fyi the car made an extra 12hp and 10bhp just buy installing a new fuel pump and filter! (might be something to look into?)
In the end we left the car with some more testing required, but this was the end power result! Good show for a standard k04 and WMI!!
Must thank nick for a epic car :driver:
