Wastegate adaption is plug and play. Start to finish job took me 3-4h. Good write up

Awesome write-up! I wonder if the is20's wastegate needs to be tested/adjusted after the install, similar to the is38? See APR's video below.

I was concerned about that when I was doing the install, but when I had both of them next to each other their wastegates felt the exact same, so I figured because my IS20 is used that it was unnecessary. I haven't gotten any issues so I think my assumption was correct. If you get a new IS20 you will probably need to do that.

I'm jealous. Just not sure if I'm keeping this car long term. I want to keep a wagon and I'm really tempted to trade up to a 4 motion. Just not crazy about the alltrack and want a higher level than S
The only thing keeping me from doing this is my frontal lobe, LOL. If I do the IS20, I want to do the DP at the same time. If I do that, then I am concerned about fueling without a flash tune. If I need the flash tune, then it is even more $ and I really just wanted to stay with the JB4. Also, I can see myself trading up to an R or something else in a year or two. So, this would not be cost effective and I really don't want to have to go back in and remove everything. Meanwhile, the auto geek in me just wants to say f&*! it and do it! Decisions, decisions...
This was one of my questions. If the IS20 comes off a GTI, and someone hasn't messed with it, then it appears to be plug and play as you guys have obviously demonstrated. However, if you have VCDS, it makes sense to run the test before the DP is installed as they do in the video. You can do it without starting the motor and it just takes a few minutes. Might be good to add this into the instructions as a "tip".
I think it will be cheaper to swap injectors than get a flash tune.
That's not a bad idea. I didn't include originally it because I did it myself when installing as it doesn't work with OBDeleven (at least with my attempts).
Whats keeping you away from the Alltrack. I just grabbed one and am loving it so far, especially since it gets the 6MT. However, for reference I did just spend the last year stuck in my wife's old automatic Toyota matrix, so just about anything with a manual and more than 130 hp would have helped me forget that 3,000 lb sleeping pill.

Ply your frontal lobe with some whiskey and pull out your tools. Even without injectors or a flash the IS20 is well worth doing.
I don't have a flash or injectors and the gain with the is20 feels insane compared to the is12. Where the 12 gives up, the 20 keeps pulling. Its silly really.
I have a test spot where there is a long uphill after a sweeping corner. I take the corner in third then hammer down. If the roads are wet, the is20 will brake the tires loose at past 60mph in this spot and engage the traction control. It's kinda crazy for a car that started at around 160 wheel hp.
Injector set is 100-150 on ebay if I want to add more silliness.
Mk7 platform in all variants is some kind of gift. Talking with a guy at work about this stuff, he thinks I'm making it up, or being an idiot. Then I show him Burger, APR, Uni, and some timeslips from this site. Mouth shut.
Can anyone else confirm that the TDI uses the same injectors as the GTI? If so, what about all of the cars getting crushed, will they sell parts off of them? And so far I'm running trims as high as 50 with good AFR. 20.5psi with 50 IAT. Carrying over 20 psi from 3,500-4,600. I'm a little over 18psi at 5,000, but it drops to 13 by 6,000. I'm going to tweak it a little more today since I have a little milder weather. Should be ab
le to pick up a little more across the range
Hahaha, good stuff. Your words are likely just as strong as the whiskey...just sayin'. I agree, this platform is pretty amazing. MAF/Shaff, we don't need no stinking MAF, 100% closed loop is king!
Your still is12 right? If so, isn't 12-13 psi maxed out at 6000rpm?
