Re: What did you do to your Scirocco today?

I removed the obd2 connector under the dash and converted it into a d-sub connection. Made an adapter from d-sub to obd2 for myself to use vcds. Nice and cheap anti theft protection. http://s27.postimg.org/r6vfo7983/IMG_6596.jpg Thats actually a really clever idea! only problem would be for service...

Re: Who's clever with electrics then ? USB port to RNS510 ?

you could always splice that into the connector that joins to the MDI?
you wouldn't need to run a booster as the volt drop would be minimal.

Other than that, no clue mate - besides trying each pin directly to see if one of them acts as an input?

Re: R8 Coil Packs

Very minor difference
It was a recommended upgrade for me though, that and better spark plugs

Pointless if you don't tune though

Do the studs still bite? Or do they just spin?

Re: Second hand sps switch

On the 2.0tsi the revo sps switch only has 4 settings, stock, 93 octane, 99 octane and 100 octane. The 4 maps are already loaded onto the ECU once mapped, the SPS switch just selects the pre installed map. If you buy a used sps, you just need to down load the settings from the revo website and inst...

Re: Second hand sps switch

The SPS just contains a file that adjusts boost, timing and fuel perameters - which you could argue is a 'map'

There's a few others settings but a user isn't able to change these (valet park, theft mode etc)

Just curious, why did you decide to do all this on a 1.4? why not do it on the 2.0ltrs? Would hold the value better?

Re: Rav Gs R Build Thread (Updated!!!)

Looks good bro, next you need a Polar FIS for a digital boost gauge ;)
If you don't get along with the extensions, have a look at the S2TPP ones, these are direct replacements.
