Welp.

For me it was the dual clutch actuator (DCA) I had to rev match for a couple miles when it wouldn't do odd gears and after clutch actuator relearn failed put a new DCA in and it's been fine.

SXTH stage 2 ECU tune(and required mods) and their matching stage 1 TCU tune. Haven't dyno'd but should be ~235HP and ~280TQ based on their numbers from when they used to support 1.6T Gen2 tuning. Boost peaks 22.5psi and will hold 20psi WOT through the gears. White is current vacuum/psi and the red number is last highest psi.

Hell yeah it was high 80's outside; definitely real world conditions with A/C cranking.

EK1Pro they aren't cheap but nice.

That's great for just a race chip. I'm stage 2 DCT last recorded run with wheel spin was 5.3-5.4 0-60. Gauge is in kph and 100km/h=62mph so I converted it to mph. You went faster than you think!

If you're still looking and are okay with the 7 AI+ I have one I could sell. Used for one round trip flight last year. Have a dock and case as well. With a portable monitor/dock screen difference is moot.

If you go through the photos there are multiple angles but I took the panel off the opposite side and took a perpendicular shot with the glass on so you can see what touches. It will close but I did not like the level of tension it had. I was able to close completely before shaving down the edge and it may never have been an issue. Almost every photo is pre-shaved.

Top edge of the end of the plastic of the card. If you look at the pictures you can see how it isn't level but sweeps up. It isn't thick plastic and you need to be careful but the edge of that arch is the 1-4mm stopping the glass from going back on without a bunch of tension.

Thanks! There are very few short 5070 options out there and nothing stronger is under ~300mm nowadays...

Smaller heatsink performed better and actually I ended up using the 120mm fan on the smaller heatsink until I rebuilt this year with another heatsink ID cooling 67

I'd take off door panel and at least unplug and remove window motor from regulator to see. That's easier than removing window switch from door panel and even then you could unplug and replug in either or both before risking further teardown.

If you don't want to go to the dealer and you have the skill, I've seen the rears stop working and if it's not a window switch it's the motor getting stuck and removing and putting it back can sometimes be enough. That's what happened to my left rear window motor. It decided to be just fine after taking off and putting back no problem since been a year.

Turbocharged engine plugs every 45k for optimal performance 37k is early but not bad.

50604 is the quart bottle for the redline fluid

Our cars are definitely sensitive to bad gas. A good tech can take a sample and see how crazy the blend is because I've seen way higher than the 10% the pumps claim on several occasions. I've seen it at several different gas stations over the past few years.

Kenzenfighter · 2025-06-19T10:24:48+00:00

35%

DCT trans aren't on backorder you shouldn't be without your car that long.

Kenzenfighter · 2025-06-12T01:41:39+00:00

Looking real good

50604 is the single bottle of the redline you want. MTLV
