Suspension, fuel pump and cams installed on Wednesday....lets see what correct valve timing and fuel supply does for the performance. I certainly know what it's doing to my wallet...he...he...he.

Next up!!! iForged Aeros, GForce W's and (finally when it arrives) the 50/50 split.
Oh yea, new EuroTuner ad for Neuspeed Haldex now at $999............

Default I do A LOT of highway so I'm not overly concerned.

As I just did the suspension and shortly the clutch, almost everything IMO will be new so it should perform flawlessly for a while longer, given the proper fluids and changing intervals. I will be getting a different Haldezx controller as well because I've never been pleased with it's performance.... I think it has some odd quirks, especially in inclement weather.... after reading the reviews of the newer ones it makes it seem like that is what I have as my stock unit! Let's just say it isn't as transparent as I think it should be and aggressively throws power side to side in a highly noticeable fashion at THE most inopportune times! (ie: 5am on a snowy AM rt 78 commute with an 18 wheeler next to you.)

Default I hear ya on the Haldex>>

coming back from KMD in a tight turn onto the GSP....I let off slightly on gas....rear end releases and I begin to understeer yet at a relatively low speed....feels more like my Chrysler Whale than a performance car.
Appling some throttle helps little, as the stock unit is slow to split rearward....new one looks sweet...but, for me...I going for the constant 50/50.
Always wanted to drive a slot car

Default Congratulations, you will notice the difference !!!

Fuel supply is the tricky part. They had to try different racing fuel pumps, and I still get some hiccus when pulling in high gear from low rpm's, specially when you get to 5,000 rpm's

Default how many bar FPR you have? 3 or 4? I was stunned when Petervan's didn't get upgraded to the 4 bar

by Dahlback.

Default OH! You shouldn't have any problem at all... unless it's throwing too much fuel into the system

and bogging it down.
