Been awhile without an update. Purchased an E85 map. First logs on the base file indicate my RS3 LPFP is 75% DC at only 25psi of boost. Seems concerning.

Any suggestions?

This is still EQT right? Do they run closed loop?

I assume they'll probably steer you towards upgraded fuel lines. Do you have the updated RS3 LPFP controller already?

I already thought about the controller. I have the silver one still. Also I wondered if the lines would lower DC

Installed the precision racing fuel line kit. Used the string method as seen in the video by everything CPO but I went the opposite direction because of the AN 90. There were some differences worth noting on my 17 S3 as compared to what some gti/R owners have come across with this installation. My fuel line was not foam taped to the vent line inside the channel underneath. My fuel line had a braided jacket and wasn’t attached to the other line at all. Made that a breeze. Also the black plastic cover in the engine bay slid off and on easily. The only thing securing the lines to that are the plastic spring clips. Different part number perhaps. Or model year difference. I noticed when threading the fitting into my MPI rail it went one turn and stopped. Hmmm. Backed it out and triple checked I had it straight. Same thing. Then I noticed the collar on the fitting was just barely touching the cylinder head. Removed the two bolts securing the rail gave me the cunt hair I needed to pull back on the rail and thread the fitting in. I’m not 100% thrilled with the placement of the ethanol sensor but it works.

That's an appropriate saying in that situation, I don't think it was autocorrect 🤣

Sounds high. Did you ever switch to the other controller? I think I’m at 70% at 34 psi.

lol learned something new today. Going to have to sneak that in casually at work now. At first I thought you were fucking with me, but Google said otherwise.

I didn’t. I’m waiting on a harness. For whatever reason I thought it would be the same connector as the factory one. Should be here any day. That’s Interesting that yours is 9psi over my base map and 5% less DC. I assume you’re on the black controller?
I don’t know what else it could be.

You can sort of tell what I was referring to here in this pic. That collar was hitting the head before I could thread it in

Guess I was wrong. This is my most recent log. What E percentage are you seeing? My local fuel is E75-77. I'm also standard housing but I doubt that makes much difference.
