What have you done to your P5 today?

[CheeseHelmet]

disconnected the egr connector today...no more p0300...i just ordered the canadian egr for 70$...

Have fun installing it, you might want to stock up on these beforehand:

The Canadian one is even worse because of all those bloody tubes! It's worth it though, for the peace of mind that I know that the rest of the car will rust away before that valve fails again

Just finished drilling a couple holes, tapping and plugging in the bottom of my bell housing so I can now reinstall and get the the MBSP bolts in the rear main seal housing. What a nightmare.... but it's done and the tranny can go back on. Turbo install is moving forward. At a snails pace I might add but it's moving.

dont buy ebay parts... my header now has stress cracks all overz. I already welded a massive crack shut and now this s*** happens? should I just weld the entire thing hahaha

Not to sound like a dick, but are you surprised?

Grounds are fun for stuff like that. Definitely check them all.

Not me...just talked to a local audio shop and dropping the car off next Friday to have them look. Shipping the kit back today so now I just have to sit back and see if the company will make good on the repairs...if the kit is deemed 'bad'.

Jeff, have you been hanging around with some vw guys?

lmao...well my neighbor's son is a vdub guy and at times there can be 10 of them on the block...s***!

^^^ Boo. But now I want a calzone... om-nom-nom.

Jeff, hope you can find the source of your VW problem, mate.

Thanks Evan and appears to be a ground problem somewhere. Hoping that it won't cost too much to fix... For now this is how I roll (one stock bulb, one silverstar bulb and hi-beams for 'drls'...lol)

1600w x 4? or 1600w max?

 

[HKPRO5]

Hey MCBadass, do you have stiffer motor mounts?

 

[justanothermp5]

drove it! HELL YES, the tune needs a little work under boost, pretty much pegs to 10 above 3psi, but thats fine with me, just happy to have my car back on the road

In order to do that, you would have to swap to the sedan head lights and have the connector/adapter for it. Ask anyone that has the Matt V retrofits, they have those going now. I'm waiting on mine and other goodies to come in the mail, then the great install day will happen.

Anyway, I drove the hell out of the car today and need to fill up soon, about 1/4 tank left, looking at about 420 miles this tank from full (50 miles one way too and from Amy's job, she's taking the car for now until I find work... and yes, all highway miles)

Pin Hole leak on the radiator.....booo The rubber that holds the slim fan in was disintegrated.

anyways exhaust is almost done, jsut some minor stuff to fix, made the fix to the SC inlet pipe. By Saturday everything should be good.

 

[McBadass]

Hey MCBadass, do you have stiffer motor mounts?

uh their oem replacement mounts so they should be relatively close to the stock

 

[Circuit]

1600w x 4? or 1600w max?

Pretty sure BOTH of those numbers are max and are probably 100x lower RMS values. Companies that advertise max power values are such garbage. I can't believe they still even do that.
