Some very nice little or not so little changes since I last saw it Benny. Very nice! I know even before some of this the exhaust sound was great and I guess no by the feedback it's even better.... Reading your thread has me hanging out more every day for my lease to end so that I can get in to a Turbo again!

Enjoy the drive. Will have to catch up for a beer soon so I can check it out in person!!

[bigBADbenny]

Cheers! Just a little goes a long way lol!!!

TP tune done and dusted in 5 revs (more than usual due to avcs issues).
Eric is a machine, economy has stabilised for the better, car sound great, boost is stable & predictable.
Will revisit tuning when wideband is running and the cam gears/solenoids are sorted

Good to hear benny. Are u gonna get a dyno tune after u get ur avcs sorted?

[bigBADbenny]

I would love to at least do a dyno run...

[alexeiwoody]

Would you agree that eric replies a LOT faster than some other tuners on here *akhem*notmentioningnameshere*akhem*?

And no empty promises either... the guy is a legend

[bigBADbenny]

TP tuning is intensive, I made sure I kept up with the pace, and it was done in three days.

Good to see things are starting to settle down for you tuning wise BBB? Toke a while but you finally got there

Hopefully a home run coming up soon and once all mechanical issues are sorted you can enjoy the car with confidence and start/plan ahead you future mods

Looking forward to your feedback and synopsis chapter to your TH/Kido experience

[bigBADbenny]

As regards the AVCS issue: First posts updated and summarized:
Group Buy 2.5T AVCS inlet cam gears and OCV solenoids thread
AVCS solenoids out of sync diagnosis MY07 GT B
Stay tuned for positive outcomes!

Eric's tune only took 3 days?
How many days was the unfinished kido tune going for?

Just glad that you've got your car sorted and on the home stretch.

Time to start enjoying it!

[bigBADbenny]

Very enjoyable it is!
Same same to the TH tune but subtly different in ways.

I spent today replacing my windshield scuttle, side trims, poppits and scrivets with some slightly younger, more complete, I got from Bens part out wreck.
I'm still struggling with the seal since my aftermarket windshield was slightly incorrectly installed (a few mm too high at the too edge) or is simply the wrong shape.
But nice to have the scuttle etc in order

Beautiful car ben!! Love the brake set up.... would love something similar!!

[bigBADbenny]

Cheers and I'm loving the brake feel, just a little firmer than the stock setup.

Had the pleasure of seeing this car in the flesh last night. I'm not a fan of the bling look, but I love the sound of your exhaust, a little different, throaty and TUFF!!!

Also glad to hear that your having a good tuning experience with Eric @ Torqued Performance.

[bigBADbenny]

Cheers! High praise indeed and most appreciated

Slight restriction at the muffs end of this TBE is possibly good for low end response and has a nice growl on power and overrun.
Pretty quiet elsewhere... FTW
