jims13 6 Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 well, it has a boost leak, and i did have a small engine fire (some engine padding).but, it seems to pull well, but i need to feed a vacum feed to the external wastegate, as its leaking boost, then it'll be a good drive wih vagcom connected, and then some fine tunning of the fuel..

cabrioman 6 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 small fire ... not really shocked lol .... cool u got an evo killer lol Link to post Share on other sites
jims13 6 Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 yeah the exhaust was rubbing on some heat resistant stuff, was smoudering nicely..i have now modified it suitablyi also hope this will be going strong next year, to be fair , i ve had it connect to vag com for the better part of the daty to measure knock, and look at the lambda etc... it only pulls timing as it is on a odd occasion , and only then by 3-6 degrees.im leaving as is until the rr day, then we'll see how far i can go..
