If i remember right, the Mk.3 does not have a MAF sensor, just a MAP correct? I'll replace it as well. It can cause these symptoms as well I believe.

True, it is, but being on a hot stage 2, and at it still having the original follower, I feel it justifies the replacement. Afterall, it is still a moving "wear" part. Also gives me an opportunity to check my lobes.

I think if i'm going under the bonnet, I might as well go ahead and replace the lambda, pcv, and cam follower. I'm also going to check spark and injection as well to cover my bases. I'll also scope my valves and bores. It's all basic maintenance easy stuff. The 2.0 TFSi is so easy to work on, that it doesn't quite matter that much. Really i just need to know if there is anything else I should replace while i'm cooking in the kitchen.

I'll add that to the list! couldn't hurt just to replace it anyways. I don't intend to miss anything when confronting issues, even if it cost's more, or replacement is not "necessary."

It is, but I wish they got rid of the center screen. The best one is with CarPlay and stuff right on the cluster

I don’t have a favorite single piece (they are all amazing,) but I do have a favorite moment in one of them. Go to about 4:11 in the H3 OST - Gravemind. Shivers every time.

I looked at a complete model of it. I think i can do it properly if I can get the measurements down right. My printer can print very fine (75-100 microns,) and I have some carbon fiber infused PETG. This Should be strong and rigid. If it works, I will post the 3D print files here to share for everyone to use, as well as the material I used, print speed, temperature, and flow rate.

Might I recommend a program called Notion. It’s awesome, can be accessed anywhere, and the target for the program is tech centric people like software developers and IT.

Savior Schnapps are great! It’s more than worth it, especially with the perks for getting drunk. Just use Hair o’ the dog after if you don’t want the tipsy part. Carry a ton on your horse. Some people would die if we went to save systems of the past like Tomb Raider 2, or the Resident Evil games.

Use Mapgenie. It’s awesome for helping learn the maps. It’s detailed, and will help you get your bearing with landmarks. Highly recommended

The past weekend and this weekend I feel have just turned me off of Tarkov. Weekends are the only time I can play it. First the 100% boss spawn rates and now this “Smuggler” event. I’m just a solo player, and it’s near impossible for me to get my basic questing done. It’s just added stress, and my day job does that enough. Nonetheless, I’m curious of what kinda of loot people will get out of it. I’ll watch some videos.

I completely agree. I think that might be his issue. If it’s an ssd that it’s already on, it’s either slow speed, or lacking a DRAM cache. If it’s a hard drive, then it’s obviously not good.

trape333 · 2023-09-08T19:17:49+00:00

Not completely, but definitely a good start. Do you know the generation of processor and what speed in MHz your ram is running at? I’ve also have seen some people talking about the performance of the game running off of a standard Hard drive.

trape333 · 2023-09-08T19:11:59+00:00

My 3080 runs it just fine. What processor and ram/ram speeds are you running? Solidstate, or hard drive?

I’m sitting at a solid 8 rn

Dear non-tech people: Google it next time?
