  1. [SOLVED] Misfire/Hesitation under slight load at highway cruising speeds

    Am dealing with this exact issue right now and also posted about it here. Any luck on a diagnosis? For me, it also happens in 4th and 5th while at very low load (barely touching the pedal) and between 2k and 3k rpm, generally. Thinking it was my MAF sensor, I replaced it to no avail. I suspect...
  2. Stutter at low throttle openings

    This is a weird one. For the last month or so, I'm noticing this odd stutter at very low throttle openings - essentially, when at cruise or barely accelerating. It feels like a momentary buck or stutter and always happens at between 2 and 3,000rpm. I've checked for vacuum leaks and everything...
  3. Max for a K04?

    Looks like a bad MAF cal to me. Those g/s numbers are way off what they should be.
  4. Max for a K04?

    Am I missing something? 70% WGDC and a 1.9 load? The k04 has a lot left in it but you don't have the supporting mods to realize it.
  5. MS3 as a weekend car?

    I feel you. I'm 40 next year and wonder if I'm aging out of it, but fuck it, it's paid for and way too much fun to drive. What do you daily during the winter, while the Speed is off of the road?
  6. MS3 as a weekend car?

    How are you liking the new 3? Would you recommend one as a fun daily? I test drove a 19 Premium 6 speed and thought it was real nice - it didn't have the character of the Speed, not by a long shot, but the interior was in another league and the car was whisper quiet inside.
  7. MS3 as a weekend car?

    I've just crossed 100k miles on my mostly bolted '12 and knock on wood, it seems pretty healthy. But these are quirky cars, and I'm getting to a point where I need a dead reliable vehicle to get around during the week - something that isn't running 60whp more than factory and doesn't have k04...
  8. How to make genpu with stock wheels+suspension sit flush ???

    Don't do it. The extra rotating mass of big-ass 25mm spacers is not worth it.
  9. How do I pick a tuner?

    FWIW I have a two-revision tune with Stratified (Stage 3) and had a pretty good experience. Decently quick turnaround and the tune itself is smooth and powerful. They've tuned a shitload of Speeds by this point in time, even if the current dude (Nolan) is a little newer than some others. I was...
  10. Stratified Stage 3 93 Tune - Log Review

    Log taken earlier this evening on the Dizzy tune. BATs are close between both logs. Looks like Stratified just eeks out Dizzy. Surprisingly, the Dizzy tune feels stronger in the midrange at part throttle and just in general is a beefier feeling tune driving around town than Stratified, but the...
  11. Stratified Stage 3 93 Tune - Log Review

    I reloaded the Dizzy tune on Sunday and hope to be able to take some logs in the next few days. The car feels stronger in the midrange for sure with Dizzy's tune. There is also some weird SWAS-related stuff happening on the Stratified tune when I accelerate hard and turn in 1st and 2nd gear that...
  12. Stratified Stage 3 93 Tune - Log Review

    For comparison's sake, here is my last log with Dizzy's tune. This one is a 4th gear pull. For Virtual Dyno, I'm using the Dynojet with a CF of 1.09. Different day from back in April, so slightly cooler IATs and BATs. Dizzy seems to target slightly richer AFRs and brings in more midrange boost...
  13. Stratified Stage 3 93 Tune - Log Review

    Was previously tuned by Dizzy and was very happy with it, but after going in for a tune touch up and finding out that he has abandoned AP V2 support, I went over to Stratified for an OTS+ Stage 3 93 tune. How does this log look? This is after one tune revision - they had to pull a little bit of...
  14. Necessity to clean intake manifold/valves

    85k miles on my '12 and all I've ever done for the valves is the BG GDI cleaning service at a local shop every 20k. The service blows a PEA-based fluid through the brake booster line to hit the back of the valves. I haven't had the IM off, but the car runs flawlessly and pulls hard.
