You can log and monitor WAY more than you think, but transfer method becomes crucial. Broadcast parameters are free data that you have to send no requests to get. SAE requests are painfully slow, and if you combine SAE requests with manufacturer specific requests you can slow down the transfer...

My personal favorite is "Distance since last DTC clear"

It's floating around in some dropbox links from various people....but no I can't personally redistribute old downloads. Also 2.24 was supported for the original MPVI only, so it wouldn't even work with your newer cables.

Yeah, i actually don't mind plastic, but these things fail so often i just want something future proof. Material design was really only a part of it, seal design was another big aspect

We used to have a running joke that 2.24 was the best version since it was the most commonly rolled back version among users. That was before my time though, which is crazy considering i've been here almost a decade at this point.

Forgot to upload the finished prototype water pump. This version was the aluminum 3D printed version with a nickel plating (and dear god the nickel plating came out so terribly, I was told by a machine shop that was fixing some minor warping errors that they likely threw the part in with some...

ErWin is the official source for wiring diagrams, looks like the reddit link has some free downloads from there. But you can get basically any diagram from any part of the car from ErWin. https://vw-us.erwin-store.com/erwin/performSearchArticleAdvancedResult.do?dir=desc&page=4&sort=title

That's like being sad you didn't win the lottery. If people knew what it was going to sell for, well market dynamics then says it's going to sell for much higher than that as more bidders try to get it at that magical price. Can't tell the future, so don't be upset about it. Hell if I KNEW it...

Sold

Been a bit but small updates. Did valve cover maintenance and swapped out the cover bolts with titanium bolts, along with the cam solenoid bolts. Ran short on the valve cover by 3 bolts though so had to order some more. Apparently i can't count. I also want to swap the coil pack bolts over with...

What do you mean, you've got all those sand dunes

Ported heads really a big benefit for that turbo. Kick that thing up to optimal boost levels and no ported heads, i think 4.5k was the right number for full spool

Excited to see this, would love to get a race in with you sometime when mine gets built. For hillclimb you may want to look into another turbo, although depends how you drive. The PT turbos really go heavy towards the top of the RPM range but have a lot of lag from the few dyno charts I've seen...

Is it the mutual "friend" we talked about? I might have to send him a message if he's finally doing something...

Put that battery in a trophy case, what a frickin workhorse
