Hi mate, I really only run ethanol, on few occasions per year, I know rubber seals, don't like ethanol, it only got to 110c on few occasion, but I wanted the baffled sump, purely for my own piece of mind due to a bad experience few years ago, and to get rid of the plastic sump and being billet it doesn't flex.

No I have the Racingline stage 3, 6 pots, they are immense, with those pads, higher heat range than DS2500, and less dust, and no brake noise, love them tph, that's property the best money ive spent.

I've not upgraded anything engine related yet, but I've now cover 13,000miles with this turbo setup, it's still going strong, plenty of country roads today, managed to finally stop pad knock, someone at a garage I use, the apprentice, didnt swap over my backing plates, tarox Corsa pads are phenomenal.

Finally added a Billet Alloy baffled sump, machined my Adam Bailey, he provides these sumps for various tuning shops, inc Ares tuning ltd, My intention was to go for the iAbed baffled sump but for the money, it doesn't anywhere near worth £820, I seen a post on Facebook, and contacted Adam, and this what is fitted to my car, it is one piece billet alloyed machined to spec, sump sits the same depth as standard but now holds 7.3L of oil now which aids cooling, takes a while to heat up its winter, but once oil is warm and I start to really push the car, I haven't been able to pass 99C, normally I would see around 110C.

My ambient steering wheel from Custom Control, 1st picture is just a rough fitting with wiring etc, second picture is the finished product, with ecs paddle shifters, only downside is, I need to use a Bluetooth app to switch the ambience off, I'm trying to figure out a way, I can wire it, so that it comes on and off with ignition, few times ive forgot, luckily it hasn't drained my battery, very happy with quality of steering wheels, and Ecs paddle shifters in carbon, just suit this wheel to a T. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HRr7nv5aoEgVACrPODxc9bqgx9fROsQy/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/145PLCtfE9S2C360dRT0PQUMyKbJWqKKr/view?usp=sharing

Stage 3 powermax 2 ecotune Sent from my SM-S928B using Tapatalk

Hi, powermax 2 is still going strong, there is ever so slightly a littlemore lag, but on boost it's epic, I wouldnt go powermax 1 now, knowing what powermax 2 feels like. Sent from my SM-S928B using Tapatalk

I have the flip out badge reverse camera retro fitted to my golf R 7.5, all is working, but when I plug in obd eleven, it gives fault, saying reverse camera parameters not set, I cant find these parameters anywhere on the web. Does anyone have a note of the parameters. Regards john.

You'll also need this mate, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251743714528

I only went for a 10in sub because he said, a 12" would stick out 5in further in the boot space, I was still able to retain my spare wheel, my auto electrician fitted it all under the top cover bar the sub I was able to retain much of my boot space, he recommended Pioneer sub, speaks and amps, he said bang for buck, its really gear.

Visual Ice on eBay mate, it takes around 8 weeks for it to be made and is absolutely solid in construction.

Forged engine is on the cards, I definitely recommend this turbo setup, with Ecotune's custom compressor housing the spool of this turbo is epic, driving you'd think a supra or skyline is coming round the corner I kid you not. I'm definitely going for the 4 port racehead that is being offered, less boost more power.

I've spent a fortune mate, still not finished. 😂

New Brakes finally fitted, they took longer because family bereavement, and I wanted the nickel plated chrome calipers, but they have been discontinued due to discolouration, so I settled on hard anodised. This setup is unbelievable, absolutely awesome, compared to the Porsche Macan setup, night and day, and I can run my standard wheels which is a plus at winter. Also had 034 1.5- negative top mounts fitted, with the extra chamber, I was able to lower front of car and it no longer scuffs the inner arches. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kN38yHnOyOzsF_TtvfFcTlW2AJSIwsPY/view?usp=sharing

Hi Guys, I have been a member on here, a few years but never posted much. I managed to pick this beauty up in April 2022, with only 3756 miles on the clock. After 1000 miles I went stage 1 with ecotune, this was just software remap to both ECU and TCU, 355bhp and 394lbft, then around six months later I went stage 2 with ecotune, mods are APR front mount, R600 intake, Full turbo back scorpion exhaust with valves and ascari tailpipe, 400bhp and 422lbft, I ran this for around 3000 miles and decided after witnessing my mates turbo destroy itself at stage 2, I spoke to ecotune about a new turbo, originally I was meant to have the Littco L380x fitted, but garret had just literally brought out the powermax range, I believe I might be one of the first run this turbo, after fitting and mapping I had on tap 454bhp and 442lbft, after about 2 years and 13000 miles later, I decided to go with ecotune for flex fuel and have LPFP and HPFP fitted, after this I could run ethanol, I call it party mode after this 487bhp and 461lbft, I ran this for a few months and realised, I wanted more, so spoke to ecotune and wee decided on the powermax 2 with there intake and charge pipes etc, it managed 534bhp and 445lbft on ron99, and with ethanol 583bhp and 485lbft, turbo spool is epic and it pulls like a train now.
