I ran KW V3s wound down with no issues at all for a very long time.  It wasnt until I fitted the TT lower arms ive had an ongoing nightmare with tyre/arch battles!

The lower arms give extra track width

It in development stages still, just lots of logging and and refining the map, fuel and timing is spot on as thats easy to do in mapping with a few maps.

 The way we have mapped the software to make the power is to rewrite the N75 boost control maps and run the WOT boost control open loop to allow us to have full boost control and keep with in the 2.5bar map sensor range,  its a case of plotting boost and n75 logs and graph them to produce linear lines which I can export into the map.   
 I can see this method of open loop tuning the TFSI for big power catching on soom... :wink:

Would this be required to do on my gti also when I do the k04 conversion because i plan to get it mapped with R tech?
I know as you said it will take a week to set it up but just want to know would it be complete after that?

James, I'll add you to the list  :happy2: At this early stage it's only provisional but if it fills up (30 max) as quickly as the last one then at least you'll have a place. But I will expect you (and anyone else) to tell me as soon as they know they can't make it.  :happy2:
