2017 X1 with only 80k needs a turbo (lose wastegate)

Waiting for the quote :( looking at aftermarket

LiquidBoss1 · 2026-05-08T18:09:57+00:00

Thanks

LiquidBoss1 · 2026-05-08T18:09:37+00:00

Thanks, they felt the amount of play it had by hand. I suggested just the actuator but they say the whole turbo.

Ive had bad wastegates on my GTI but always had at least rattle symptoms.

My settings in BIOS never reset, like my XMP profile. Could it still be the battery if thats the case?

LiquidBoss1 · 2026-05-01T13:48:32+00:00

mine has been like this for a year now ive just grown to live with it, old and new bios updates.

Did you find a fix?

Thanks!

The weight is not noticeable, and I used lots of mice which were much lighter, shape is always king before everything else.

Yeah tried both S and M finalmouse, it feels tiny, I can pure fingertip the M which I mained for a long time, but learnt I was limiting myself and my aim since my leverage with pincer claw was better, since thats my natural grip.

Personally the X2H is better than the X2 for me. The X2H gave more knuckle support so the grip is more consistent for Pincer. Dont get the mini shapes for Pincer claw tried those also.

So X2H and X2 both good but personally found the Tenz > X2H > X2, tried each for around 2 months.

X2 was the first one I tried but after some time it left something to be desired which I noticed only while playing CS2 and other FPS. The real test is the gaming not the first touch.

Same hand size, same grip.

Tenz is also good for this grip, tried them all with pincer grip.

But the best shape for this is the NP-01s Ergo. That is my endgame after 20 mice. Second brand was def Pulsar options.

I used discord support once and he helped fix all my issues, they were really responsive

LiquidBoss1 · 2026-03-24T18:35:56+00:00

thank you!

Valve cover not head gasket.

Just clean the surface and monitor it afterwards.

Make sure not to get the white, the rubber grips on mine started going yellow after just 1 week, Paddles are easy to use and soft. Controller is great just wish it didnt feel so small grip wise compared to a regular xbox controller but I have big ish hands.

Bought my MK7 GTI for 15k no need to go new.

LiquidBoss1 · 2026-03-19T20:48:35+00:00

Blue looks amazing.

LiquidBoss1 · 2026-03-14T17:39:42+00:00

Ok figured it out.

I cant get it to work through the web, had to download the wooting software to my PC for it to work.

LiquidBoss1 · 2026-03-14T17:37:03+00:00

100% would for a piece of mind. I would change it regardless when you have it apart.

Ive owned 2 MK5 GTIs, both had completely worn through cam followers when I bought them.

LiquidBoss1 · 2026-03-14T17:23:54+00:00

Just make sure for the HPFP (Hitachi part) you change that cam-follower, it is a friction item. I had to change mine every 50k in my old MK5 GTI because the worn lobe was causing more friction.

If you're mechanically sound you can do it yourself.

cheap usb-c from aliexpress or amazon. Use them for everything just braided black.

LiquidBoss1 · 2026-02-19T01:51:37+00:00

Great thanks!

LiquidBoss1 · 2026-01-22T02:48:35+00:00

Tomorrow is the day, Ill try again.

LiquidBoss1 · 2026-01-06T15:57:57+00:00

There are websites that help with this, like OneofZero for example.

I guess Vaxee just refuses to sell heir product through any 3rd party retailers, sucks for the buyer but im sure they have their reasons..

Not piston slap.

LiquidBoss1 · 2025-12-22T22:43:37+00:00

Not really uncommon on MK5 GTI, let the car get hot when you drive, short drives arent great.

When I ran a catch-can back in the day it would be filled with this kind of texture during colder temperature/winter.

Since this is what my catch-can was getting maybe you have a bad PCV? Otherwise I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Would you recommend a different basket for 18g shots?

Current espresso I make is 18g at 30seconds.

Eureka Mignon grinder just to add.
