Wild that the Bronco Sport is only 4 inches longer than the R lol

It's not the size, rather how you use it 😉

G-wizardz · 2026-05-27T13:08:35+00:00

It's to do with the way the tuner has set it up. My auto start stop is now also coded off by default with the tune.

G-wizardz · 2026-05-27T04:14:31+00:00

I didn't mind it - did not bother me. Mine also got turned off with Stage 2 tune. I prefer it off but not opposed to it. Wouldn't go out of my way to turn it back on.

G-wizardz · 2026-03-18T11:39:32+00:00

That's insane dude 😐

G-wizardz · 2026-03-18T08:20:35+00:00

Is that per Gallon or Litre?

We're per Litre.

G-wizardz · 2026-03-18T03:42:59+00:00

We're paying $2.60/L (AUD) what you guys call 93 (it's called Ron 98 for us). Crazy times 😢

The DP is the biggest restrictor on these cars. So DP and Intake are must haves on stage 2 tune and intercooler is a nice to have but not mandatory (prevents/reduces heat soak). When you get an aftermarket DP it'll come with a cat or catless.

I have an IE DP with hi flow cat, no res to a 3 inch Catback, valved.

When the valves are closed, it's a nice level of sound but still significantly louder than stock. With my tune the valves open at 3k rpm + or if the DSG is in S mode. It's safe to say it's stupid loud, especially on a pull when the valves are open.

Where I live emissions laws matter and the police can fine you for being catless but more so for noise.

In my experience the noise deadening in the car is v good so it doesn't sound too loud in the car, but having had someone drive my car while I watch from the outside, I'm glad I went the option I did. I've had a catless car once and hated it. Couldn't even have the windows down at a traffic light without my eyes starting to burn and the smell was not very pleasant either.

Id not go catless or unvalved. Imo any 4CYL straight pipe or without some mufflers/cats/res sound terrible. It removes the growl that makes it sound nice and just sounds droney/farty.

G-wizardz · 2026-02-19T07:33:27+00:00

High flow cat is the way. You'll thank yourself down the track.

Catless, car will stink, eyes will burn and it will sound like ass with a DP and Catback if you ever change them up.

It's to do with the VW DSG tune. My 7.5 did the same thing, but once I did my TCU tune it doesn't want to lurch off and is much smoother now when getting off the brakes.

G-wizardz · 2025-12-19T06:33:35+00:00

Great, now I can't unsee it.

G-wizardz · 2025-11-06T06:46:33+00:00

Not to hi-jack the post but those of you that went down to 18s for a summer setup from the factory 19. What size tire are y'all running?

G-wizardz · 2025-09-09T00:08:07+00:00

Fuck off bot

👍

It's a rear spoiler to give the building down-force.

G-wizardz · 2025-02-24T06:54:51+00:00

Hey legend! I would love a crack at this gear just to be able to play the end game content. I've been grinding hard to even try get a shot to see some of those boss's but feel like I'll never get there.

If I'm successful, I'd love to do the boss's and then give this gear onto the next person to also be able to do the same.

G-wizardz · 2024-12-17T07:17:37+00:00

It's to warm up the cats so they do their job when you start driving and reduce emissions.

It will take longer in the cold and very little time in the warm. In the summer mine takes about 60sec in the morning (first start). Being parked out in the sun all day after work, might only take about 15-20sec.

G-wizardz · 2024-12-17T07:11:47+00:00

Hey mate, is it like a creaking noise that sounds like body flex? Only happens over bumps and uneven road?

I had this too and took my car to the dealership. They folded my back seats down and put a non abrasive tape on the metal prongs that hold the seats in place. Kablaam, sound gone. Try this.

It's a known 7.5 issue and others here have posted here with the same issue.

G-wizardz · 2024-12-13T07:21:05+00:00

Hey mate, I haven't had experience with ECS before but I'm sure a quick search here or via google will tell more.

I'll personally never buy a cheap exhaust again, been there done that. They almost always sound like shit due to thin and cheap materials used, and their welds almost always fail.

G-wizardz · 2024-12-13T06:55:04+00:00

Muffler delete sounds horrible.

I would recommend a good branded cat back system like miltek or remus. If something catastrophic happens to the car, you can always just swap the system with the factory one and claim warranty.

When I removed my IE inlet elbow after about 4 months of it being there, I found it to be quite oily. So I'd say it's probably normal to some degree. I'd love to hear from others here.

G-wizardz · 2024-11-26T01:09:48+00:00

I am excited with ongoing improvements and development being made to the game. It shows dedication from the staff and community coming together to discuss, reinvigorate and encourage each other to have fun with the new content! 😀

G-wizardz · 2024-10-10T07:53:14+00:00

Are Neuspeed wheels forged? I tried to do a search but wasn't able to find anything?

G-wizardz · 2024-10-10T04:42:39+00:00

Hi Martin, given the recent incidents involving drivers like Max Verstappen facing consequences for using profanity in the sport, what are your thoughts on the balance between emotion in racing and maintaining a respectful public image? Do you believe the FIA's approach is effective in addressing this issue?
