What did you do to your mk7 today?

[swimming gti]

Tuning my GTI with EQT stg1 93octane today...ik most of you guys are way past that but really excited.

Only thing I'm worried about is car has rough idle and it used to have misfire codes which I cleared and they never came back (have driven a couple hundred miles since clearing). You reckon I'm good to go?

Congrats! First tune is always awesome! If it hasn’t come back, you’re fine. Full send

Flex tune is better…. Trust me….. I’ve done just the upgraded hpfp and e85….go stratified

What was so bad about the upgraded HPFP and E85?

Flex fuel is just more convenient, your tune adjusts automatically so you can run anything between 91/93 and full E85 and not have to worry about it.

LPFP because MPI because clean valves and more reliable than most HPFP options

Rolling the leaky wheel to storage when I see this

Well there's ya problem. Holds pressure for ~2 weeks before tpms complains. Good to know it isn't a dented wheel.

what I'm finding out though, is that upgraded hpfp isn't all that's required to go above E30.....once you run out of injector timing, that's the limit of your injectors and may not even be able to utilize anything higher. MPI will fix though.....and deeper down the rabbit hole I go

Yeah, that'll do it.

Yea you definitely want LPFP / MPI to run high E content safely. I did the silly bit of getting a HPFP thinking that's all I'd want and then going LPFP and MPI shortly after. No issues running the fueling system that way yet but I still have my stock HPFP if we need to go back.

so once I dial in my E30....I'll see if there's room for E45 and I'll just enjoy it for a bit and start saving for MPI I suppose.......like what I was "advised" to do about 1.5 years ago LOL

Lowered it on EMD springs. Used the 'metal' 2x4 method. Not a bad install, one front strut was a real pain in the ass to get back in seated correctly. Looks so much better.

Also got it tinted. 35% windshield and 15% all around.

Looks hella good. Does 15% make it harder to see at night? I want to do 20% but someone told me it makes it too dark inside...prbly going to do it anyway tho

Thanks dude, no, 15% is fine. I wouldn't go past 10% but thats just me. you should do it, its really not that dark.

I thought NJ was one of those nazi states when it comes to window tint were they don't allow tint on the driver and passenger windows?

when I lived in NY, I had my mk6 front windows tinted like %60 and got pulled over 3 times.. I wouldn't have dared the thought of tinting my windshield now I live in florida and my windshield is %35 lol. Love it.
