What did you do to your mk7 today?

And this is when I get slapped back to reality. If LPFP & HPFP isn't sufficient/ unreliable set up and then I do MPI, that's a hell of a lot of expense for 50HP.

Diminishing returns hit hard.

Installed this beauty today. Hardest part was removing the grille but after that it was smooth sailing.

Woke up semi early and asked my dad if he’d help. Grabbed food and headed over. Tinted them the night before (shoutout @El_bigote_AJ for the idea)

Finally refilled the windshield fluid tank after a month or so of dinging on startup. Takes about 3 L to fill for those curious. Made it from concentrate and made it pretty strong since we're expecting low single digits in the next couple days. Gonna need to blast that sticky super salt off that they use on the Pike.

Did an oil change at about 6k miles. Last time there was a pretty strong fuel smell (in my subjective opinion) and the same this time. I check the level every couple weeks and the level hasn't really changed on the dipstick. I added like 100ml a couple weeks ago so while that appears as no significant oil consumptions, it could just be replaced by fuel. I think I should lower the interval a bit if only to relieve some anxiety.

Car detailed, wheels on. Definitely going to get some spacers for at least the front. Time to math that out.

Those wheels look so good !!

You need mpi too.

And some kind ethanol gauge& sensor, and personally would do upgraded PR fuel lines.

I had a long conversation with jerseydrew about the real need for upgraded fuel lines....reach out to him if you think you really need them, unless you want them just cause. And yeah....sensor and gauge (unless simos has a way to read) are a definite.

Simos shows E content, you don't need a separate gauge.

I did the PR lines while doing the MPI / E sensor upgrades but they're not really necessary unless you're going well above the power level I've reached. Which is to say I didn't need them, but they look neat.

this man just turned my build thread from 22 pages into eight words

You do if you don't have a way to mount your Android tablet so that you can see the gauge in Simos. This is why I am trying to decide an ethanol gauge solution. Either that or just commit to full E and send it.

Looking at this guy, reads all the important stuff I want to know about and the gauge can replace my old boost gauge.

What about https://www.vadpro.com/ ? I have a P3 and love it, but I definitely think this offers far more flexibility.

or just get their ethanol sensor gauge alone so you don't have to worry about that exhaust bung

Braved our way too cold for the South temperatures to get started on a DP.

Last week the new truck got attacked by a 4 Runner.

Yea I am actually looking at that one because I don't exactly need AFR.

I ran mine right into the left knee bolster cubby......dremmeled a little hole for the wires to fit through and then afixed it with double sided 3M
