    I blew a pipe apart on the S3, you couldn't see it without looking properly. I missed it completely on the day and the hole was over 2 inches long.
    Wow thats a huge split you must have a heap of boost .

    I have gone over all the pipes bought and fitted new silicone hoses and fitted a new o ring on that crazy stupid quick clip pipe that goes to the pancake pipe, even silicone sealed the outside of the clips joint. Triple checked hose clamps, tho might get some heavy duty ones

    Haha oh yeah done that I had a whistle from it for a few days before I found it, I got some tips from your thread about fixing it. The pipe from the manifold to the pcv is deleted now tho and I also moved the vavle on the brake line right up to the manifold with a 1.5 inch heavy duty hose from the manifold to the vavle, all other vac lines are now equal internal diameter fuel lines, I figured they would hold ive rechecked those too. loving your build by the way.

    I also had a new o2 sensor installed, just did the plugs got ngk bkre7 gapped to .28 not sure what block to check in vagcom to test them but it drives nicer than stock plugs.

    The two things I havent checked properly is the maf and ignition control module.

    Ill log some more now the wheathers cooler down in Melbourne, I spent hours the other day cleaning crap out of the intercooler fins as well and I relog those temps too.

    What sould I measure other than rpm and g/s

      Ok Gavin just checked the actuator physical setting its boosting to 4 psi I read leighaus thread again and you noted he should set it to 6psi, I have a stage 1 giac tune should I do the same?.

      Any tips on adjusting the rod.

      Cheers for your help.

        • You need to tighten it/shorten the rod. The tune would have to be written for 6PSI as that's the std pressure. just as long as you are 100% the gauge is accurate.

          Do it with the engine cold. A couple of turns to start with and don't get over ambitious when the boost starts going up.

          Could be the actuator has died!

            Thanks Gavin, did what you said today.

            I adjusted the rod only a very small amount taking the physical up to 4.5psi and saw a small increase when the n75 was re connected, im going to take it up to 6 next weekend slowly testing inbetween, I only had a couple of hours to play with it today.

            Thanks heaps for the advice I cant wait to see how it goes at 6.

              Well got a few things done.

              New rear hubs and bearings, feels or should I say sounds so much better. Tho my pockets are empty.

              Plasti diped the rear badge and the side pillars black let me know what you think?.

              Played with the actuator more, I think you might be right Gav its ****ed, the small gains I had have gone over time, ill test it more soon.



              More pics soon.

                    +1 for the colour coding, I reckon an anni kit would look sick on this

                      I know but with my current driveway it would be scraped back to black in places in no time, ive been thinking about bolting some metal plates down not sure what the landlord would say tho, it will also mean more lows at the front again.

                              • My clutch assembly failed yesterday had the car in neutral and put the clutch in ready to get 1st and pop which thinking now was the spring flying off stayed out of gear while disengaging it and all this fell out.



                                No more pedal at all. Got a tow home luckily only 3 blocks.

                                Started it in 1st this morning and I have to say did the nicest clutchless change into 2nd more fluke than anything, but got it to my mechanic.
                                Im sourcing a pedal now as the bracket snaped.
