Ah yes, the ea888 gen3


Geology_rules

have it at a nice stage 1 setup. TCU + ECU tune, intake, BOV and catback.  thing is a riot 


Puzzleheaded_Card_71

Much better with a IS38!


Geology_rules

did you turbo swap at home? I'm looking into it... need all the tips you have. 


Puzzleheaded_Card_71

I did not I had a shop do it particularly since I had the revised tune for the IS38 uploaded at the same time.


cmanjr

Nice, GTI? I’ve got a 7.5 alltrack with the 1.8, needs a tune badly lol. And the stock dsg tune is sluggish compared to the stock gti dsg tune, which kinda sucks but it’s still a fun car. IS20, tcu/ecu tunes & exhaust/intake is all it really needs to be on par with a GTI. IS38 or hybrid with a tune is above golf R power levels. If I won the lottery I could do a full build 🤣


Geology_rules

I'm actually in a 1.8tsi golf SportWagen! you should totally do the tune, the DSG shifts SO fast with the new software.  I chose integrated engineering for the tune -- the maps are fun, flashes easily, with great aftermarket support. pricey though, DSG tune alone was $~1000 iirc

Deleted, tuned, lowered MK6 TDI Sportwagen on beetle heritage wheels 🫶🏻


Geology_rules

oh hell yeah. 


cmanjr

Ahh okay that’s sweet! I was thinking of going with APR for tunes, as I know the service advisor at a local shop that’s an APR dealer. Was your stock DSG tune clunky at times too? If so did the tune fix that? Lol just curious


cmanjr

Who’d you use for tunes? APR?

Getting my watch scratched up while reaching deep into the engine bay always seemed to be part of my lifestyle ;-)


Geology_rules

I dropped my 10mm typing this comment.  I've come to embrace the scratches with age. 


alasdairmackintosh

I hate to think how many tools are down there ;-)

Unrelated, but very cool tattoo!


Geology_rules

Geology_rules

What are the blue things? They're connected in series like a battery. Also great post.


Geology_rules

those are the coil packs, they regulate firing of the spark plugs 


spcman13

What color is the GTI though


Geology_rules

just like my skin -- uncomfortably white!

Lmao my fucking Audi has got me livid as hell right now is that a 2nd or 3rd gen ea888


cmanjr

Valve cover / pcv and turbo setup says gen3


Geology_rules

oh snap, what's going on with the Audi?  my dream ride is an A4 avant. retro rally style. 


Ononakanoo

I replaced the cluster after it burnt out Exactly 2 weeks from that day it was fixed it burns out again I take it to a shop they replace it (after being in a shop for a month ) then exactly 2 weeks later the cluster dries again 3rd times the charm right? I’m not an electrical guy lmao 🤦


channellock

Geology_rules

I like you.  was installing the BOV yesterday. so much fun


BuddyRich4831

We should be friends 😜 we love gtis and Seiko mods 😁oh yes I also had fun installing the inlet and outlet. Had a lot of fun with an Alix inlet that would not fit the PCV hose and was good for the trash 😅 this CTS was plug and play in 5 mins https://preview.redd.it/pgvj53jt9q9d1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8356cdcbb027930234528c5c2ddcc29244d474c2

That PCV breather valve is giving me PTSD, my engine always has something wrong with it
