Hooked up with a fellow MK56 friend
A few engine mod shots:
:smiley:
Another night out with a mixture of cars:
I had found a boost leak, so called in to my tuners Auto-tune, fixed boost leak, it was coming from the pipe attached to the discharge pipe to the oem intercooler...
Got my boost back again:
Upgraded to these : DaveB's Vagbremtechnic AP Racing 2 piece disc set-up..
Spent a few days bedding them in, then when for a nice drive to test them out :jumping: Pulled over for a few photos
Could not ask for anything else, pedal fell is great, stopping power is awesome, absolutely no fade, fitted with DS2500 pads, got a great deal more confidence with these puppies! :evilgrin:
Had Give the discs a painting to try and prevent any rust is the future, some hammerite paint as a type of undercoat, then some VHT high heat paint, I will see how long it lasts..
Got a new car for my Birthday, it's very Tasti

A nicer finish ! I think... :innocent:
I would also like to change the bush at the bottom of the gear stick lever, as I am lead to believe, if you have any side to side slack, this can be the problem, I can only hope it will bring it back the that new car feeling again, anyone tried to do this???
I like things tight :signLOL: I will upload the part number...
Give the car an Oil change, used Shell Helix ultra extra this time, as I have always used Castrol edge professional fst... I believe it has the car running better, smoother, smooth idle... Used the ECS magnetic sum-plug I had lying around for awhile now, will see on the next oil change if he has collected anything.
Changed the spark plugs
and pollen filter... All nice and fresh now... I believe Terraclean have a new machine for TFSI engines now, was going to give that a go, but would really like a before and after run on the dyno, with a scope stuck through for a before and after shot...
Is there anything else, I could use as a test, apart from taking the head of before and again after to see how effective it would be.
Would there be any logs to run for testing?
Just the other day, I seen a head of another TFSI engine with low miles on it, he was having misfire problems, when I seen the head, it was well coked up...
Would this be something that can help, apart from watermeth, to keep on top of it.???
Had anon-res pipe fitted:
At the start is was a bit louder and I was not to sure if I liked it, but I have now got used to it, the sound it great, not to boomy, sounds well on WOT. It is louder than the res pipe, felt a bit sharper too, but sound can make things seem or sound faster...

Cheers Dan, Yes I would like to try 5mm and 7mm spacers on, I need to use spacers, as they will not fit without them :sad1: but don't mind as it gives some added width to the car, maybe only 10-20 mm over all, but wider track and a better stance..

Hey Surrey thanks for the compliment, I would say anything is possible for Dave to do :happy2:
Well I have a squeak from my rear Arb, so need to grease it up, any easy ways to do this or just drop the bar re-lube and fit It back on, I have been messing around with the ARB settings lately, and I'm back where I started, bar the front is set to the softest setting, and the rear to the stiffest setting, I find the car is better balanced this way, med on med was not to bad... But I am a lot happier with the settings I'm on now.
New tyres soon :sick:
Also have cruise control and the trip computer stalk to fit, with the polar FIS+ unit, but seem to be unable to enter the menu settings on my highline, that was a reto fit...Seems a MFSW is required to get this to work for some reason... I have the Audi RS4 steering wheel fitted, so not really wanting to change the wheel... Just hope there will be some other way to add the extra parts, and have them all working !
Need my magnetic number plate redone, so I can run with my other grille on..
Also have a rattle coming from in and around the front dash, so need to find that, as it is doing my nut in...
Been considering new seats... :grin: and going for the 4x4 conversion, maybe carbon door skins, and have another go at having my carbon wings fitted. :chicken:
Also a few other things, but keeping them top secret at the present time :evilgrin:
