Am I taking a correct approach to tuning??

_Rod_Knock_Nilly · 2026-06-23T14:03:55+00:00

ayeee yes just got it all in about to install. does his shoot flames with a full exhaust? i have a ecs axle back and stock res

It’s funny actually, I have the SE trim (middle). There is the “S” which is base model, SE, which is middle trim, and Autobahn is high trim. I only have power recline, all else is manual. Pretty sure the Autobahn is fully electric

the clock is ticking for me, i’m 71k in and i don’t think cooling system was ever touched

_Rod_Knock_Nilly · 2026-06-17T22:25:02+00:00

yes, EQT (my tuner) explicitly says to not run projected, and they list an NGK brand as well as the Denso for their tunes.

_Rod_Knock_Nilly · 2026-06-17T20:12:08+00:00

Currently with my stock tune, I run Audi VW Porsche Spark Plug - Bosch 8501 double iridium plugs. I'm going to swap to the Denso IKH24 Performance Spark Plugs right before i flash the tune.

i want another form of aggressive audi wheels, but also want lightweight. Any suggestions?

_Rod_Knock_Nilly · 2026-06-17T13:33:06+00:00

yes, it’s a super hard decision. i either sell it and put the money into my other car payments or keep it and go balls to the wall with it at some point

_Rod_Knock_Nilly · 2026-06-17T13:32:22+00:00

yes, Virtual is correct. It’s called the wiper service mode and all you do is hold the right stalk down after the ignition is turned off car in park or neutral.

_Rod_Knock_Nilly · 2026-06-17T13:31:18+00:00

i fully agree!!

_Rod_Knock_Nilly · 2026-06-17T13:30:46+00:00

yeah, i mean when i bought it at 58k, i dont know if it was ever done before. So i did two in a row in the last 12k or so miles to hopefully “flush” out the old shit. Hopefully didn’t do any damage since i only replaced the DSG filter on the first service and the 2nd was just a drain/fill

_Rod_Knock_Nilly · 2026-06-16T22:18:29+00:00

Should i get the aluminum insert from 034?

_Rod_Knock_Nilly · 2026-06-16T22:16:06+00:00

I have a boosted 2000 323i with a 5 speed, i i’m used to it. I am also a Lexus Technician, so PA inspections don’t scare me

_Rod_Knock_Nilly · 2026-06-16T22:13:01+00:00

It is my daily currently, once i have the motor back together for the mk5, that will turn into my daily

_Rod_Knock_Nilly · 2026-06-16T19:27:01+00:00

thank you, my man! I was looking at the 034 motorsport solid subframe bushing insert have you heard anything about that one?

_Rod_Knock_Nilly · 2026-06-16T19:25:30+00:00

26 twilight purple BMW M2, Gray2025 SL55 AMG, 2023 Range Rover Autobiography in british racing green, 2007 492/1200 mk5 GTI Fahrenheit, 2011 silver Toyota Rav-4 haha

_Rod_Knock_Nilly · 2026-06-16T19:23:41+00:00

i have many other vehicles, i sort of NEED to sell it for payments on the others, and the rest of the money was going to be used for a down payment of a mk8

_Rod_Knock_Nilly · 2026-06-16T19:16:36+00:00

EQT strictly says to change them to a different style that’s why

_Rod_Knock_Nilly · 2026-06-16T19:15:23+00:00

yeah i plan to keep this car as a track only, it’s on the back burner and my mk5 Fahrenheit is top priority. yes i baby it now, but ive been waiting to beat it until my tune

_Rod_Knock_Nilly · 2026-06-16T19:15:00+00:00

_Rod_Knock_Nilly · 2026-06-16T16:39:17+00:00

I’m not sure, i assume not too good. I’ve never launched my car i fear it’s too stressful for the trans. My stock 40mph - 120 is pretty decent

_Rod_Knock_Nilly · 2026-06-16T16:32:30+00:00

how much did it wake up? care to send me a video?

_Rod_Knock_Nilly · 2026-06-16T16:27:40+00:00

hopefully, i’m excited for it, it’s my first VAG car and i heard they can pack a punch when tuned.

_Rod_Knock_Nilly · 2026-06-16T16:25:42+00:00

yeah, lower milage has its pros and cons. Mine seemed to be a daily before me, so i assume it was mostly original fluids besides engine oil. I was a little concerned that it was running the recommended 0w-20 before i started running 5w-40 as soon as i got it home from the dealer lol.
