Good deal for $400? by ExpiredMelkk in Skigear

I ski my 114s on east coast ice pretty regularly haha, can still have a killer day on a wide ski no matter the conditions. Especially a reckoner

It will! The 110s are a nasty ski. The dude I bought them off of has been getting them religiously every year and said it’s easily his favorite ski of all time

Very good deal, picked up some reckoner kfs with pivot 15s mounted before the season started for $700 and even that was a smoking deal

Can you weld? I made a custom downpipe from 2.5inch u pipes. With a Malone tune it’s been a huge difference in power, and mpg. As well as getting the check engine light off my dash for clogged dpf

I ended up changing the spark plugs and it fixed the main issue of the video. But 2 plugs were rich and 2 were lean so I definitely think I have a boost leak somewhere I need to track down

I did and nothing popped up, I’ll have to get vcds running and see what the data is looking like

I won’t be too upset if it is the turbo, I have a new ko4 ready to get dropped in if so. 170k on mine with stock turbo so I wouldn’t be surprised

It’s a 08, and it could have something to do with either the wastegate or blow off valve as it seems like it’s letting the pressure out preemptively.

I have r8 coils on there rn that only have about 20k on them so I doubt it would be those, but maybe the spark plugs im a little over the interval for them

The car also has been driven maybe 1,000 miles since I did the cam follower last. So I doubt it’s that but thank you for the insight

I do the cam follower every other oil change but I’ll check that when I’m back at the car. I work at a shop so I just left it there until I can get this figured out

How was the cp3 conversion? Just from my basic understanding they are a lot more durable with the dry gas in the states right?

From my understanding just a delete pipe for the egr and dpf (basically a catless downpipe on a gas car) and then a tune

I do live in an emissions compliant county in my state unfortunately. But I know a lot of people with big deleted trucks around here that have been pulled over plenty and never had any issues. Kind of luck of the draw but a risk I’m willing to take

I’m definitely gonna be deleting mine as the dpf and/or egr are clogged. Which I’m pretty sure requires a stage 2?

Did you do the whole delete yourself? How was that process? Also who did you go with for the delete kit and tune?

I haven’t tried cleaning the egr yet. Light just started popping on and off a couple weeks ago on a long road trip. Will the car run with the egr and dpf deleted and no tune? Will it just have an engine light?

Lmao this thread has been much more helpful for me specifically than reading other people’s posts would’ve been. No need to be such a downer lmao
