New to the forum

Hi all,

New to the forum. Have had my MPS6 since 2016 and have slowly bolted things on over the years:

Engine: HPFP internals, high flow catted downpipe, 2.25" SRI, turbo inlet pipe, CPe TMIC, 3 port EBCS, Accessport, CST04 turbo,
Chassis: Rear engine mount, both rear diff mounts, rear axles, rear swaybar
Misc/Q.O.L.: boost gauge in centre AC vent, fumoto oil drain valve, EGR delete, throttle body coolant bypass and bonnet struts.
Body: Stock

Over the years tried to keep on top of maintenance: cleaned the carbon off intake valves (once manually and a good few times with intake cleaner through throttle body), regular oil changes, coolant flushes etc.

Outstanding things to do would be upgraded brakes (still stock :/ ), catch can (still haven't got around to fitting) and learning to tune without breaking something.

Recently swapped the K04 for CST04 and enjoying the extra choo choo noises and boost through the rev range. Hoping to get some advice about tuning timing, fuelling and boost to make sure I don't kill the old fella. Not really looking to go down the aux fuelling route (at least for now) but keen to get the most out what mods are on.

Would be keen to hear any suggestions for modding/tuning. Also where is the right place to upload some logs so someone who knows what they are looking at may offer some wisdom?

Will post up some pics when I get chance, outside he doesn't look like much but under the bonnet its alright.

 

Welcome to the forum! Feel free to ask me anything if you need help. I have a built 06 speed 6 as well and currently doing a full out top mounted gtx3576r with pi aux fuel setup. I had a CST4 before this and it was great!

 

Hello and welcome! This has been one of the best forums I have been on. The people here are knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely consider a Metal Membership as it has some good benefits.

In terms of tuning there are lots of videos out there you can search for to teach you to tune. The people here will also help when they can though usually you're recommended to go to a professional tuner. If you do it yourself just remember to first do a MAF calibration, then get your fuel table set up decent and make small changes to WGDC until you can hit your target boost consistently. After that it's a lot of logging, checking your KR readings, and adjusting ignition timing (in very small amounts)
