I would say close to my TDI's hp/tq about 90hp/155tq. The car has an issue where it goes lean on throttle tip-in and sometimes on cruising. Can't do any power pulls until that is addressed. Feels like a tuning issue to me.

 

Finally..........

 

She's looking GREAT! I'm not sure about the yellow calipers but it looks great otherwise.

 

i think you can pull yellow off with red. if we seen the full headlight in that side pic it would look better. need more dark in the pic to make the yellow blend in.

 

Car is looking good

 

I have the same rims, they look good! Hows that EF4 working out? If i were you i would paint the centercaps black thats what i did. The chrome centercaps take away from the look of the rims.

 

Dip looks good. I can't tell the difference between that and a matte wrap.

 

Did this thing blow up yet? What kind of power you makin?

 

Finally getting ready to power tune it now after he went through a million and one bugs. The owner is very very patient that's all I have to say.

The FPR is not working properly, he swapped the stock one back and the stuttering issue it had went away.

Hopefully now we can power tune it.

 

Its been a few weeks. Whats the deal?

 

I'm still having issues. If I'm barely on throttle the car stumbles/misfires sometimes or if I'm just getting back on throttle from coasting the car goes lean for just a second then it back to normal. I've changed the whole fuel system back to stock except injectors, I've checked for damaged wiring, I've swapped out the MAP sensor, tried new spark plugs, tried swapping COP. Tom doesn't think its a tuning issue. I don't know where to go from here. I was going to try stock injectors and see if that's my problem. Thoughts? Keep me sane before I sell it.

 

Is this for sale? I thought I saw it for sale a couple days ago locally

 

He just put stock injectors in it. Hes still trying to troubleshoot whatever gremlin is hiding in the car. At this point I believe almost everything fuel wise is back to stock now so i expect him to email me back saying whatever is wrong is fixed. If not i will continue to help him troubleshoot the vehicle.

 

nice build, personally not a fan of the fake carbon wrap at the very beginning but it doesn't heart. good job

 

Well everyone, after 5+ months of having driveability issues, my stumble/misfire/lean spikes have been fixed. It was my brand new set of FIC blue max 1450's. I have a message out to FIC to warranty them out, I hear they are easy to work with so we'll see. tscomp helped me out over the past several months trouble shooting and trying different ROMs to try to rid the issue. He told me in the beginning just because the injectors are new doesn't mean they can't be faulty. This has really pissed me off to the point where I wanted to sell the car, it's 100x better on stockers and Toms SD tune. So Tom thanks for all of your time and remote help from PA. Time to get some new, working injectors and tune tune tune.
