[quote=""moffman93'""]Evil why the hell were you running 17psi on stock fuel.
I've never experienced fuel cut i guess I have an extreamly healthy fuel system cause I spike 15psi with no knock or fuel cut.[/quote] Well I knew that some cars were running 17psi and I knew a lot of it had to do with climate, elevation, humidity and heat. Since I live in a hot humid location I decided to see if I could run 17 psi. I started at 14 (1bar) and it was fine. Then I went to 15psi and still fine.... so then I set myself to around 17psi (1.17bar) so I set to 1.2 bar and ran with it. All was fine up to there but because I was still using the stock vac lines the distances to the turbos were not equal and I dont think the control was aggressive enough... so it spiked and I learned. So now I am back at 1 bar which leaves room for a spike and I actually never go over half throttle. After you gut the pre cats and give the car better intake it accelerates much better. Throw in a good boost controller, better plugs and wires, bigtyla ground kit, some new ecu caps... the car really pulls strong. I had another TT owner ask me what mods I had and he was shocked because of how hard mine pulls. Big thing with my car is it stays healthy, mods come second to maintenance... which is why im still BPU.
[quote=""Theo1""]Damn, how much will this cost me?[/quote] TOB is like 15 bucks or so, havent priced one recently but they are cheap. Personally next round I am going with a Mitsu one as it seems that they last longer without chatter. The stock one was fine and had about 20k on it that I knew of, based on the mileage on the paperwork for when the tranny and tcase were replaced
, and it never made a sound all the way up to me having no clutch left. Yes I completely destroyed a stock clutch in 20k miles, it didnt take well to mods and aggressive driving.
Anyway the big cost is replacement, dropping the tranny, and putting the new one in. Seriously if you are going to drop the tranny you might as well do the whole shooting match (clutch, pressure plate, resurface flywheel, new bolts...) at least thats my motto on things. You can do it with a good friend in a weekend, a hard weekend. You have to tear everything out on the passengers side so you can disconnect the linkage, clutch slave, and top bolts. All the bottom shit, DP, cross member, starter, lower a arms dropped... to get the axles out of both sides +Tcase and front section of rear drive shaft if AWD. A few misc things and then you remove the bolts and seperate it from the engine, turn it sideways and lower it down.
Stealership will charge around 2k for the job more than likely. Not worth it. Really once you pull the tranny in one of these everything else is childs play. It doesnt take a lot of tools, couple wrenches, sockets, muscle, few cans of penetrating spray.... and time. Mine took me 1 day out. Started at 10am, finished about 6pm (first timer for the 3S). 6 days for machining of the flywheel and parts delivery. 1 day in, started at 10.... finished at 1am. Broke the bolts in the flywheel, they backed out by hand, took 2 hours to find replacements. Then I had my fiance helping me and she couldnt figure out why it wasnt going up in place (passenger shaft still tied up in the way) and my arms gave out and then I had to find someone to help me and he was a puss so I had to rig up a mechanical event to lift it while he steadied the cables and he didnt so it fell and knicked my paint and I got pissed.... so Moral of the Story... make sure if you do it you have someone reliable to help.
[quote=""My92Stealth""]If yours is just a little noise, I wouldnt worry. Plenty of these cars make the noise but as long as its not loud its ok to drive.But t be repaired the tranny needs to be dropped, so that'd be quite a bit.[/quote]
^ Agreed.

I also bet you hit more than 15psi accelerating in 5th on a cool day which is why you hit fuel cut. 
thing in the world. Thats the reason I decided to change from the max 17psi and go down to 14psi until I have some fuel mods.
