and then realize the mpi harness already has wiring for the e sensor to the ecuOh don’t worry… in 6-8 months max you’ll be pulling that hpfp too since you’ll just go mpi

Don’t worry if you stick with Cobb, that wiring and plug off the mpi harness “may” not work for their flex fuel… so you still gotta keep thiers (maybe)

now I'm looking at selling an ethanol sensor....again......for the second time, and moving over to the cobb flex fuel sensor.......so I can just have one tune from Strat (with my current 93 tune as the base). Seems I can't just have one set of:
wheels
tires
suspension
hpfp
ethanol sensors
The rabbit hole is easy to fall into. Before you know it, it's too late.
Just do what I did and part out the car

I hear you on the wheels/tyres, my shed is full of them- My daily A4 has as set of winters mounted on MSWs in there+ 3 20"s from an A7 comp I got in a trade, my MK4 that didn't see more than 100 miles last year has a set of OEM Longbeach wheels in there, and the GTI has a set of Apex SM10s and an OEM spare sitting in therenow I'm looking at selling an ethanol sensor....again......for the second time, and moving over to the cobb flex fuel sensor.......so I can just have one tune from Strat (with my current 93 tune as the base).

not to mention my stockpile of spare ignition coils, stock downpipes, etc. etc. lol I'd have the suspension too except I managed to sell mine and clear up some space ahaha...And this is why ppl who aren't into cars look at us like we're insane.
So got this kit in finally….. took my time and installed in stages throughout the day today….. actually not that hard to put a new pin in the ECU. Was meticulous and careful. Ran the lines and zip tied in place.
Only thing I don’t know is if the AP will read the sensor without a flex fuel tune….i tried and it wasn’t reading. I double checked the pos/neg and ECU pin….all were straight. Sent a note to my tuner to ask….. for the time being I taped off the sensor and harness and left unplugged

the ecu has ethanol% hard-coded until the calibration is switched to use the sensor.
And I logically know that, but then started thinking “well maybe it should and I just jacked it up”.
At least now I know every connection is good lol
well.....6th revision uploaded and ran a few logs yesterday

On your 6th revision already? Should be close to finishing up your tune. How's it feel so far?

We were supposed to stop at 6????
yeah I try and run logs as soon as I can, so very little wait time. He's buttoning it up top end and tweaking lower end, but love it......so much power almost quicker than the IS20 and holding it up top is what I was looking for.
