Hi Lisandra, i bought the Wagner Evo1 because i could not find an ATM anywhere and i really like the stepped design idea. Construction was the best i have seen and fitment was nearly perfect. I had to cut a few plastic moulds that basically did nothing anyway and charge temps are great. if you...

Nice! I have a triple yellow ecoboost too in australia and i installed teh Wagner Evo 1. Did you have to cut quite a bit of plastic shrouding to make it fit as well? We dont have the active shutters in australia because the climate is pretty hot anyway haha. Mine was also very hard to line up...

The AWD animals are usually good for 0-100 because you can flat foot throttle and side step peddle and shoot off into the distance. Much more than just likely you will give him a go or pull away if it was on a roll. The new Golf R does 4.8 or something. Not worth comparing 0-100 to AWD hot...

Intercooler and tune are the 2 biggest performance gainers. I mean... charged HOT air goes into a combustion chamber where cooler, denser, air combusts better etc etc. If anything the theory is rock solid and then if you can back it up. i mean dang... put an aftermarket FMIC on your car and tell...

How is this thread still a thing... *why did i spend 5 mins reading it* You have a $10k deposit. buy the more expensive heavier car. lol the heart wants what the heart wants. Don't let your head do any of the thinking ;)

I went through and tightened mine up when i did the intercooler upgrade over the weekend. the only ones i didnt check where the far side of the hoses that connect to the intercooler lol. But i am pretty sure mine hits near on 20psi but in saying that it still feels peaky on power delivery...

I am not surprised. That rental has probably been in to service many many times and found something and fixed it. With the amount of 'plasticy' pipes our cars use and mass manufacturing that is done to it there must be some build discrepancies from time to time. you can easily go from turbo to...

I would say that is very large conjecture on that assumption. from what i read it is only a torque increase momentarily (which i also find hard to believe ONLY increasing torque). BUT.. if there is a power hike... ill probably still wait for the 2020 re design :D haha

It might be right at 5 minutes as suggested above but i have always been a bit mechanically sympathetic. I usually drive normally ie. no WOT but up to 80% throttle and drive through the gears up to 4500rpms for first 1000kms then i just drive how i would normally drive. Engineering explained guy...

Those are some solid numbers there. Im sure that you will see quite a few tenths shaved off if you had better rubber. You will be able to launch with a bit more boost and as jbailer said you will not need to have the nannies on. Can't wait for the Australian government to approve this tune :D

Hi guys, Picked up my Sept 2016 build Ecoboost on the 8th of december. Absolutely love the car. Had to wait 9 months for it to be delivered to Australia... Drove it out of the showroom and basically a few days later noticed that when the car is warm there was a noise like vibration when...

UPR sell the "ECOBOOST BILLET DUAL BREATHER TANK" for $299. Looks like a catch can but with a breather on it. Am i right to assume this is like having a catch can and a crank case breather in one? Have not seen anyone do a write up on this. and if it is 2 birds with 1 stone i might go in that...

Hopefully you find it... as taking it to a dealer for not hitting boost and they replace the plugs LOL. Sort of related... Anyone know how to change the boost gauge from bar to psi?

symptoms are generally whining noise, car not properly vacuuming (vacuum sits higher) and then ultimately not hitting boost properly. It has always been a really annoying problem to have. You need to check all hoses and clamps from turbo all the way to intake then check BOV as well. A lot of...

Lion I live in australia, can you please tell me what NOAC oil is or give me an equivant rating perhaps? Over here due to always being a hotter climate i am inclined to always use a 5w-40 full synthetic oil in my cars (always have) and haven't ever had build up issues. I previously owned a VW...

I cant help you(much)... My stupid boost gauge is reading bar and have no idea how to change it to psi lol. From what i heard the stock car should run around 14-15psi and then with WOT push as high as 18psi. In some cases i have ready 20psi. But i cant tell or test this myself as my car is bar...

JTMAT i read your build. Can you tell me what boost increase if any increase at all there is with the FP tune? Cheers

if you trawl through the forum as i have for the past 6 months (LOL) you will know that you should basically tune and intercooler. The exhaust will be very very minimal if anything.
