Parso's Golf R...

[tOnie]

<3 the white VWs

[Parso]

Just double checked the sensor and its dead. These things only last a few months at best as they cop a lot of abuse from the highly modified cars its a consumable item and we have about 5 in stock at anyone time. The VAG stuff as with most Euros have in built wideband sensors so they're really nice to work with most other brands over here do not so we use the dyno probe as a rough indication and then an additional wideband sensor with a 2nd Autronic analyser in the vehicles dump pipe somewhere. Thats why I always tell people to option in an extra bung in their dumps when buying them - it makes my life so much easier ( I can tell Goran will add something here )

abuse! i call abuse :P

[Parso]

Staying tuned with this. Im hoping Goran figures out how to do the actuator soon as my car is booked in with BPS for the start of Dec. Parso have you looked into the actuator anymore? I expect you would have it on by...what about 4pm?.....today!

The problem with the actuator is the labour involved and this then comes back to a cost which the customer has to pay. If you were to say 6 hours labour for a 5 or maybe 10kW gain would that be worth it ?. Or for a similar cost (+ parts) would you just put on a GTX- 3071 and then go to town with all these nancy boys and their K04 setups Hmm tough choice I reckon. Its not as simple as that though as you then have to sort fueling and so on but you get the point.
If we can sort it out in say 2~3 hours I reckon its worth it, we'll know soon enough

James will get your car sorted I'm sure he knows what he's doing, just don't buy any Capristo headers off him

In this case the abuse has mostly been caused by a twin turbo LS3 stroker ute sounds great too but any S3 or R will kill it in a straight line due to lack of traction - why do they do this ?

Hopefully with the correct tooling it can be done quicker, guess we will find out soon like you said. At this stage i will probably put all my hardware on minus the actuator and see how i get on. May have to do it later and get james to tweak it. The 3071 is always tempting, just like high class hookers. But once you go down that road the money really starts to burn a hole......

Whats wrong with capristo headers?

PS remembered what you said and ordered my TXS DP today with the extra bung. Will be here next week.

James can fill you in on the rest

I think ive missed the boat on this 1. Moving on.

[AP]

Is this going to be the quickest Golf R in Australia?

Nah that be GH...

[Parso]

I would think given the engine combo that that car is capable of a lot better than that and I'm sure in time it will do it too. Now as for yours AP I expect another 5 mph terminal speed from your car before the end of the year. . You've also got Darios car getting a makeover too . Interesting times for sure but I'll stick with the weener K04 for a little while yet.
