What did you do to your mk7 today?

Dropped it off at my local euro shop. Going stock to stage 2 today

That should be a fun bump, I had a ton of fun going from stock to Stage 1, and then moreso Stage 1 to Stage 2.

What all are you doing as far as supporting mods?

Prepare for giggles when you leave the shop. What all are you having done? Be specific as I am curious as to which tune and supporting mods, etc.

For now, I am going to just use the EQT Stage 2 91 HPFP file that came with the Accessport. I have the APR open intake already on. Today they're adding a Cobb 400 cell downpipe, Autotech HPFP, and some Denso 5749 plugs. I also have a Stage 2 E85 HPFP file already so once I drive it for a few weeks on 91 I'll switch it over to E85.

Then once EQT dials in their flex tunes I will need an ethanol content splitter harness so I can run it over to the ECU and still see it on the P3 gauge. And I have an EQT Brushless LPFP to add into the mix when I buy the new flex file.

I will probably add an intercooler next year before summer hits, but it's tough to find a used one in good shape. And I'll likely also add a Powerflex hybrid bushing/insert too.

Should be a nice bump !

I didn't think the r stock lpfp could keep up with e85?

 

[EpicTech]

I think it will handle up to about E35 or so?

 

[Tyler230]

EQT says only HPFP needed for full E85, but I've seen a few posts of hitting lean codes on full E85. I'll see what it does and mix it down to E60 or so if necessary until the flex files are ready and I can install my brushless LPFP.

Stock lpfp can def handle E35. Upgraded Hpfp needed for E85 in general unless you go MPI. Also, it’s all about the tuning

Honestly I should get myself a content gauge and ask Mr Diggs for a E35 file. I'm sure there is about 20hp on the table there.

The shop just called and said the car's done. But they mentioned that the new DP seems close to the plastic ABS shield and to look into getting maybe a metal replacement one. Has anyone else ran into this issue?

Yep, I got the Cobb heat shield for that very reason.

Poor design.

Mine melted a little bit and it has been fine ever since lol.
