S6 timing

[HMS-S6]

Hey dude,
Yes it is on a stainless but although I had no AFR on the car on the stock system it ran just the same.
I run the stock sensir just as normal for the ecu then the wideband a little further down solely for the gauge. It's an innovate set up.
I think it was a combo of the stock ecu tending to be slightly lean (God knows why!) and the tired MAF just ripping it over the edge?

Fixed!

Congrats.

Thanks :-)

Some of the things I spent on we're a waste of money but frankly, some stuff I don't regret. For example, silicon boost hoses, TFSI coil conversion, MAF pins in the plug for example I don't. They must have contributed to a slightly future proofed, well running car.

All wear & tear items that were probably sub-optimal

Lean again today all of a sudden. 14:1 AFR. F**k it.

Clean the connections to the Lambda probe?

It's only 3 weeks old dude.

Is it normal to hear the boost/vac of the N75????

It's only 3 weeks old dude.

The connectors are 20 yrs old.

It stinks of unmetered air but I can't find a thing.

Explain what you mean by this please.

[HMS-S6]

Well I'm assuming that's what I can hear. I faint hissing that states and stops very quickly depending on throttle position. Usually when coming on boost.

The only way for unmetered air to enter the system, once you're on boost, is via the MAF hose and the hoses that connect to it.

The MAF hose itself.
The hose to the WGFV
The hose to the DV and the DV itself.
The PCV system hose that goes through the cam cover and round to the one way valve.
The crankcase via oil cap or engine oil seals.

I would say it's not normal.

So it's a very fast chopped tff-tff-tff-tff-tff-tff-tff?

That sounds like a leaky WGFV or a leak where the WGFV plugs into the MAF hose, this would also allow unmetered air in.

You can get a crack in the WGFV where the spigot joins the body.
