I pulled my haldex fuse for an hour to see if it worked, you know, for the dyno...

AWD TT's do wicked 2nd gear rolling FWD burnouts, and spin in 3rd... Ok, Flame away.

 

you shouldnt pull it for anything but a dyno run. You could hurt the system. Durtty wants to know if he will give a discount on a 630cc file for his AWP

 

I know. It wasa bad idea. Idrove about the same asI would havedoing 3 pulls ona dyno though (< 3 miles).

Durtty, PM ray with the specs, if he says you are ok for the group buy PM me your info.

this is from desnos website.....hmmmm i know these are for stock levels...but who decided the .028 for chipped cars....and i believe the IK22 is what you want for cars with a chip installed

 

I'm concerned for my stock turbo's life with a chip like this. If he's claiming bigger numbers than APR or GIAC, isn't that just putting even more stress on the turbo?

 

The spark getting blown out at larger gaps made the gaps .028. The ik22 is one degree cooler and has a lower gap.

No, the extra boost wont harm the turbo. As long as you let the turbo cool after a run, it will be fine. People see 100-150k miles on the stock turbo, even with chips. Its oil changes and cooling that will make it last.

 

I doubt there will be any noticeable difference in lifetime compared to stock, and definitely not any difference compared to other programs.

 

I'm fairly good on the oil changes and cruise easy on the last mile to my house, so the cooling should be good...

Need a boost gauge now

 

Im at about 145000 and am curious to know if getting the file is just going to cut my turbo short in reliability. I do my regular oil changes but Im not sure about the previous owners. I had the head redone and my mech said the turbo needed to be serviced soon. any advice?
