Title: Finally Picked Me Car Up Last Night...
Post by: Ashmond on 14 January 2008, 09:29
BUT

I think im in limp mode or some kind of similar mode. Car wont rev above 3 and half k on the revs. Not sure if it is in limp mode because i got to 55mph on the a2, not sure what it can be, any ideas? Got to plug it into VAG com tonight and see what the deal is.

My secondary air pump isnt plugged in and hasnt been disabled by a map does anybody know if this would stop me from revving properly, I thought it was just to warm the cat so I didnt think it would make this much of a difference. Checkec pipes for boost leaks and they all seem sweet. Bit confused tbh!

Il get some snaps up when I can!

Looking sweet mate what other plans you got for it?
Title: Re: Finally Picked Me Car Up Last Night...
Post by: Ivor Mk4 Turbo on 15 January 2008, 14:19
I'd sort out an arch liner, mate.  Look at all that crappy road water collecting at the bottom of the filter.  Engines don't like sucking up water!!!  :wink:

Post by: Ivor Mk4 Turbo on 15 January 2008, 14:22
ps  I'd think about repostioning that filter.  That's where the K&N's used to end up on the 306's.  (One large puddle & it's bent valve city!!)

Thanks guys, good to finally be able to get some pics up, will be putting that filter up in the bay over the weekend when I get a bit of time, still so much to go; FMIC, boost guages, coilovers, strut braces, rollin road tune up, seats, all the stuff inside, but I am glad the main nightmare is finally finished, I have waited a long time to be able to show you guys!

Yea deffo i spoke to alltek garage (AllDub) about this for when they fit mine and they make cover up for them might be worth giving them a buzz if you want one or just stick the standard one back on for the winter.
