I think it’s a fwd with too much tq kind of thingDescribe the uneven tire wear. Could be an alignment problem or worn shocks or a tire pressure problem depending upon your answer.

It was an alignment issue, I failed to have the vehicle aligned after having a clutch install, totally my fault. Wear is outside of the wheels only.Describe the uneven tire wear. Could be an alignment problem or worn shocks or a tire pressure problem depending upon your answer.
Don't see how those things are related and also can't see how the ambient air sensor would have anything to do with the TPMS.Is the ambient air sensor somehow connected to the TPMS? I broke the sensor while installing my twintercooler (actually it was already damaged, presumably from a flying rock) and a TPMS error came up immediately when starting up the car...I didn't touch the wheels or any sensors connected to them AFAIK.
Another strange thing is the fan noise from the front of the car is way louder... possibly a loose hose clamp? Car was pulling great and IATs were noticeably closer to ambient so it doesn't seem like there's a leak otherwise...
I just googled "mk7 ambient air sensor" to find a link to buy a new one and found the thread below with the same exact problem with TPMS and the temp sensor. Still not sure why the fan sounds so much louder though...possibly also related to the sensor?? Like the fan is working harder to try to pull air to the sensor?Don't see how those things are related and also can't see how the ambient air sensor would have anything to do with the TPMS.
That or your fans are running due to the FMIC portion. Installed my FMIC and i've noticed the fans kick on more often.I just googled "mk7 ambient air sensor" to find a link to buy a new one and found the thread below with the same exact problem with TPMS and the temp sensor.

Weird. Very nice search job.I just googled "mk7 ambient air sensor" to find a link to buy a new one and found the thread below with the same exact problem with TPMS and the temp sensor.

Good info. I haven’t noticed that at all. Yet.That or your fans are running due to the FMIC portion. Installed my FMIC and i've noticed the fans kick on more often.
honestly my car likes to do dumb shit no one else's does... it may just be the tires, they have a little uneven shoulder wear. Also no performance pack/lsd.
I dunno if the lsd would help with brake boosting. The e-lsd could, I guess? @golfdave would know
uneven tire wear probably isn’t doing you any favors.
I still think it’s your tune. The eqt stage 1 makes way more tq than my apr high tq stage 1

thanks for confirming my suspicions. hopefully one of the local dealers has a sensor in stockI did a write up on the Ross-tech forum as I had the same problem & even Uwe didn't know at first as it was like "WTF!!???".....

I did the math when I filled up today, and the displayed fuel economy was out by less than 4% on the 'Since Refuel(?)' calculation. Good enough for me.How accurate do you find your fuel consumption readings vs. a manual calculation? I honestly don't care too much about the absolute number, but I like to see the relative change based on how I drive. I haven't done a manual calculation with this car, but my wallet tells me it burns about 45% of the fuel my F150 does, which lines up with the display.
My Fords were all about 5% optimistic, Dodges about the same, GMs must have been using that new math, because they were all out by over 15%.
