You
Nothing to be too concerned with especially if you have a manual transmission. Even if you have a auto your Speedo will be off a bit and your transmission may shift a bit early because the revs per mile in the calibration was not set for that size tire but you should have no issues. I would definitely have the tire size adjusted in the tune if you have the auto when ever you get a chance.
Looks really nice on the white. Are the hood vents stock? Are they matte or gloss black? Iām interested to see how this performs in warm weather. I havenāt seen anyone with this installed or anyone with a 20 or 21 RS3 that comes in the car. Keep us updated!Kit all completed and seems to keep the iat2 down very well. I am in the east coast so it is colder and will have to wait until spring or summer to see how good it really works.
Thanks. Will keep you you guys posted. The hood vents are gloss black from air designs but has a Ford part number. Would really like to get the ones from the 20 and up Roush to complete the look but not sure if they sell them.
Thank you. I will be scheduling for the recalibration.
I have the same hood vents by air design, sold and installed by the dealer on new car. They don't add any additional heat extraction as the openings in the hood remain stock. I really like the looks though.
Not sure I'm a fan of the side vents though. I think I would have to have them painted to match my car so they didn't stand out so much. Looks good on the white though.
Anyone have an idea what this could be?
do you have any codes? its hard to tell on video but these cars normally sound "vacuumey" at idle if that makes sense haha. the lines on the side of the blower with zip ties on them usually have constant tension clamps on them but i dont think thats where any noise is coming from.
No codes, no rough idle. I thought it was some sort of vacuum leak and based on the gauge it was showing 19 inhg at idle, 8~12 at partial load, 0-3 at WOT, 21 when let off.
I'm stock, and I heard that noise one time and I swore it was a vacuum leak. Full vacuum at idle, no issues and it never really made that sound again. These engines make all sorts of sounds at different times. Ahh well...
I had the Roush x-pipe installed when I had the SCer installed and I enjoyed the upgraded sound. I usually drove in track mode and had no drone at all. Even with my new setup LTHās and no cats I have no real drone that I notice when just cruising now when you hit the skinny pedal itās a completely different story.
