Powerflex aren't worth it. Just use stock items.

Yeh. It will struggle/ won't idle. Dephaser disengages at 6500 too. Just replace it. For the amount of hassle it is to remove it it's just not worth it

CLiP isn't great for datalogging. RSTuner is better

FLOL @ the baby wipes.

Yes, it's now using std cams with mikes timing

172 manifold comes out really easily. Not that I've ever had to change one. Inlet manifold off and it comes out the top

You'll need a custom manifold, and down pipe then. I can sort all of that out if you wish, but as is the case with custom stuff it'll never be cheap!

Does it need fabrication or just bolting on?

I honestly think they're a great alternative to 428's.

Yeh it's maces old one

No, haven't got the stealth yet. Picking it up Saturday so I've got time to map it next week. I've done a datalog with it and there's certainly power to be made from it. Down in the 12.0 - 11.8 range up from 6500-7200, and in the 4000-6500 range it's up in the mid to high 13's.

Never used a pattern one myself.

Nah

You generally need to drive them about 10 m before the lights extinguish

Move the injector and see if the misfire moves.

Don't have to, but you'll add more time to the job than removing the bumper would take.

3 bolts around the top radiator hose and the stat comes out with the housing and just needs a bit of persuasion to leave.

I think it was the DEcoding of the ecu that was wrong with alientech software from what badger 5 was saying.

Alientech are renowned for poor maps on the me7.5 (vag)

That's very good compression. Tbh most the 172's I see are 180!

170psi-ish

Look for alternator mounting marc

Aye I'll bring it up.

Yes.

Yeh 3 hours is a good estimate (non cup involves the bumper and slam panel removed.) Worth putting ARP's in at the same time IMO.

My experience has always been PAS pumps causing this.

Airbox support bracket. Mounts on the battery tray.

Do it up until it stops, the rubber will still slop around a bit. Then do the top it up as tight as possible.

Or take it to someone like myself and have the air bag ecu reprogrammed to suit the equipment level.

Well small (and picture lacking update) Belts and dephaser done, 197 cams fitted, rocker cover cleaned up as it had quite a major leak. H&R's fitted too.
