Pistons skirts will be coated, but not planning any other coatings.
Compression is down on cyl 4 for me and it is burning some oil. I also toasted the clutches in the transmission so I got a whole new trans (which is cheaper than clutch packs, btw).
Best of luck, keep us updated
Yeah, as you know i've got the same symptoms. Will be interesting to see what the failure/wear item is because the car runs fine it just can't tolerate high boost.
What's the history on your motor? Was this one ever run with a turbo besides stock and EFR7163?

Would be nice paying attention on the WOT clamping pressure when shifting, mine (TVS DQ381 stage3 file) was dropping pressure when shifting which cause clutch temps high. I got my car on the dyno to run 2 > 3 > 4 gear to see torque loss when gear shifting and it dropped a LOT. See dyno below red line:
Blue line is another file I am running now but not TVS as they told me they could not fix the torque loss I was having at that time.

My DI are brand new, the mpi ones have probably 10k on them

I was looking at the testing that deatschwerks does does their testing really help with tuning?

If you're referring to the dips between gears, why would dropping torque during shifts be considered a problem? There must be torque reduction during shifts for effective gearshift.Would be nice paying attention on the WOT clamping pressure when shifting, mine (TVS DQ381 stage3 file) was dropping pressure when shifting which cause clutch temps high.

If you were getting overheating issues it was probably because of excessive clutch slip.

Just throw in some Berryman B-12 Chemtool every 3rd or 4th fill up for a couple of months, if you suspect your FI's are dirty.

Yes I was getting clutch slipping right after gear change as the required clamp pressure cant keep up with torque. You can see below log that TVS their clamp pressure start from 8-9bar right after gear change, which is not enough for my torque, so clutch slipping and temp goes high. My current file starts clamp pressure from 13-14bar right after gear change.It is totally different feeling on WOT.

I see what you're saying, an issue with the rate and level at which clamping load is reapplied after a shift. Which DSG software do you have at the moment?

Currently running our local DQ381 stage3 now and still trying to improve drivability like what TVS did but almost done.
No TVS anymore as they could not fix the slipping problem I have mentioned above
