Hello all,
It's time for one of these again, since I have literally 1-2 people I can talk to in the local VW/Audi scene about car problems I figured I'd turn to the internet... I know this could be devastating and I could have cancer by the end of this.
I'll start with the "power" mods:
Eurojet Catless Downpipe
42DD Prototype Catback (Large Resonator - much bass, wow.)
K&N Drop In
Forge Twintercooler
BFI Subframe Mount
JB1
I'll pick up where my last saga left off, my car was at the dealer for 2 weeks, it has a new throttle body and the fuel system has been given the green light from VWoA.
Since putting my mods back on and setting the JB1 back up for 93 octane I am getting timing pull at WOT at any time sub 4k RPM. Ironically at 4k is where JB1 hits its most aggressive settings and the 3k range has been toned down quite a bit.
Weird things the car does:
Transmission whine. - 1st and 2nd gear whine between 2-3k RPM, 3rd does it a little bit but not nearly as loud.
That isn't transmission whine. - The sound is a whine and not a drill sound of a turbo going south, although I am not ruling this out. You can really only hear the whine with all windows up, any extra noise (windows down etc.) and you cannot hear it.
Timing Pull. - I'm showing -5 on my P3 gauge and last time I saw it hit below that my DV released boost protecting itself, then proceeded to pick up right where it left off like nothing happened.Last time it did this it was pre-dealership visit where my fuel system got the A-OK and without the JB1 fitted.
My Exhaust Vibrates my Cabin a tad. - My exhaust is so bassy it vibrates my cabin, obviously its worse with more boost, the flip side is if I'm not on the throttle its dead quiet.
So my questions are... what can I log, what can I do, how do we make the GTI great again?
Fresh Data log... ironically clean... the pulls to around 6k back to back are a 3rd to 4th gear rip. JB1 was not engaged when I ran this.
