new spark plugs' gaps are all over the place, you have to regap them

 

Oliver told me, it'd be just plug & play for the 30V

 

Got mine, and it works great. No boost gauge, but working on it. So, I don't know how much boost I'm pumping now, but I can certainly hear and feel it. Does anyone else have a much more aggressive whistle to their turbo now?

The only problem I had is that UPS made a mistake and charged me $396.23 for a shipment that was supposed to be something like $40. I'm a little angry about that.

I'll be posting pics of all my new stuff tonight.

 

I installed mine yesterday. I didnt notice a difference right away, but I drove about 40 miles to see a friend and on the way there the response improved. By the time I got there I had full power and I spun 4 wheels going around a turn. I think its still getting better, but my CEL has been on (vacuum leak), so I will fix that very soon. Its not the difference I was expecting, but I am guessing the CEL is keeping it in limp mode.

 

I paid for one day shipping, so I just assumed.

Well I did get it and I put it in. Put a Bailey diverter valve in too, right away. My vacuum hose has been disconnected from the stock one for quite a while apparently. Took me 30 minutes to put the new one in.

I noticed a difference right away. I am very pleased with it!

 

After I seafoam'd my plugs were fouled beyond belief and the new NGK's I put in said they were pregapped, not to gap them, and they've worked fine thus far...

You didn't have to pay it did you? That'd be the ultimate suckpile...

 

Negative. I just have to wait 5 days for VISA to give me my money back. Bunch of jerks.

 

yeah, I am stuck in limp mode. Gots to get in there and change out vacuum lines.

 

OK. who all is having troubles with speedtuning still?

I got mine before the group buy. probably back in may...
From the get go i put in a boost gauge at the same time as the "speedtuning chip".. nothing. running 8psi.

so the first thing i did was replace my vacuum hoses and get a new/upgrade DV.
That made boost come on quicker, and maybe a little higher up to maybe 9 psi.

So the next thing I did was pinch off the vacuum line to the wastegate, and that made me spike up to like 20 psi and hit a fuel cut-off or some kind of limp..
so i didnt try that out for long, just to make sure my turbo was capable of making boost....so after that and some researching i decide to try a ECS n75 "race valve"
It came in the mail today and i was so excited to finally get some results....
no luck

Oh i forgot to mention that I have twice checked for boost leaks, and I can pump my system up to 20+ psi with my air compressor and dont find any leaks so I know thats not my problem.

My conclusion is that either Speedtuning sucks royal *****, or that they just sent me my ecu back and didnt do anything to it at all... Is there any way to look at blocks with VAG-COM to see if it has really been modified???

I talked to oliver back when I first got the chip and was unhappy, and he assured me that it was probably just my DV or a vacuum leak but I have checked all the above and Im still $hit out of luck

 

I didnt know 2.8s could go into limp mode...?

edit: that sucks broncoman75, hope you get ur $hit resolved!
