What did you do to your mk7 today?

Interesting I've never seen or heard of this before.

Has it worked while using your Tuned maps as well or only when flashing back to stock?

Only when flashed back to stock. Something about the is38 tune from IE seems to prevent a couple of the monitors from triggering as complete. To be fair though I didn’t really bother messing with it so I can’t say for 100% certain. I wanted to ensure if I went back to stock I could pass.

If memory serves when I was on EQT I checked them once and had a similar issue where multiple would never trigger as complete but that was well over a year ago at this point and my car didn't need to get plugged in. I was just curious.

Within 15 miles and a cold start afterwards all my monitors were ready after flashing back to stock with the mini cat so I just left it for the week until I had my appointment for inspection.

Some new tires arrived. Had 2 for the front already and was waiting for the rears.

Note to self. Don't wait so long to change tires. This is the worst one, but holy crap. I knew I was getting close to the wear bars, but forgot about the little bit of camber. That inside is toast. All is well now.

On a better note I set a new pb. Got that new tire traction now!! Into the 11s, next stop, 10s! ( yeah I know, I'll need a metric ton more power for a whole second jump, but one can dream right....)

I saw a few of your last posts. What exactly are you doing with the trans? Just a rebuild with some better parts?

DKM clutch (they got the offset of the discs wrong on every twin disc manufactured 2018-2021) ruined my input shaft, so I found a junkyard trans with 3,600 miles on it.

Drove an hour to pick up said junkyard transmission, & they called when I was almost there to tell me the case was smashed, so I bought it anyway to steal the input shaft out of ($80 for the transmission, a new input shaft is $450).

So I decided with 131k miles on my original transmission, if I was tearing it down to swap the input shaft & install my WaveTrac LSD I might as well do a full rebuild.

So I had the cases Cerakote black, ordered all of the bearings, shims, seals, a ACT clutch & upgraded bronze shift fork sliders (OEM are plastic).

To facilitate the rebuild I purchased Kukko bearing splitters, blind internal race pullers (x3), a test dial indicator, and a few other odds & ends.

I’ve got over $5,500 wrapped up in it at this point.

The whole process is pretty well documented on my YouTube channel both in the diagnostic stages of figuring out what broke, and then a bunch of shorts showing the process of the rebuild.

I'll have to look over your youtube channel about it. I did just see your post somewhere else on here regarding the DKM Defect killing your input shaft. Really glad I never pulled the trigger on buying that setup as it was one of the contenders (Although are newer revisions fixed?) and went with a Ringer setup. I wonder if that explains some of the engagement issues I've heard people have with them over the years?

Kudos for taking the job on yourself. From my understanding its definitely a very methodical process and requires a great attention to detail and the right tools. Don't think Its something id ever want to try myself.

Tried to change my brake pads, epic fail. Apparently 2015 Macan pads do not fit my Macan calipers ???

Which part number of pads did you buy? I know there are different front Macan calipers.

Have you guys heard? APR has an emissions compliant big turbo.

Nooooooo gonna install them this week and I have Macan pads

 

[GTIfan99]

How much difference lag though?

Back in the early days of Subaru bringing the STI to US, we had a guy that regularly ran with us that had a big turbo 20g I think, and it spooled so slow.

I dont have the part # handy but they sent me the wrong thing. I selected 2015 base Macan and they sent something that doesnt fit.
