    JB4 Failed Emissions

    Went to get emissions tested and failed the readiness check, 0 of them were ready. I didn't think the JB4 would be clearing codes unless I had set future use D to 90? What steps do I need to take to pass emissions while using the JB4 and prevent it from clearing readiness checks? I have...

    DSG Transmission limits

    I'm surprised by the lack of discussion around what the DSG can handle in terms of horse power/ torque. Launch control on a simple stage 2 already feels brutal on it I couldn't imagine how iffy it would feel on an is38 hybrid or anything else. How much would it suck to drop 5k and get a...

    JB4 Error Codes

    Hey guys I need help figuring out what on earth these error codes stand for. 431A - This one I've had since the first day I installed the JB4 509E - This sucker and the one below popped up after I installed a CTS Catted downpipe w/ their o2 sensor spacer. 0000 - I'm less concerned with this...

    How do you think VW with respond to the Type R?

    LOL this comment made me laugh a little too hard. Definitely need to add a spoiler onto the front bumper for maximum down force on a FWD car.

    Any Windows PC Gurus?

    USB's are in no way motherboard specific. The best thing you can do is to make sure that it is not a software issue is to re-install windows 10. Like MeltedSolid said you're going to want to wipe the hard drive clean and do a completely fresh install. You can always backup any files you want...

    How to Post pictures (Come post stupid pictures)

    Stupid question but sometimes I'm on my phone and want to post a pic to the forums. Is there an easy way to get this done? It always just asks for a URL. Also to make this topic less boring post a picture of anything you want. Except of you naked. Let's not post those. :D

    Audi S3 is awesome

    I have an A3 convertible. I've never driven a GTI nor the R so I can't comment on steering difference but at the end of the day I find that the powered steering rack is precise if nothing else. If I turn that thing a little bit it responds with agility and precision but the rest of the...

    ..WHAT SUCKS ABOUT THE MK7 SCENE..

    This rant on the downpipe prices gets so much YES from me. Hahaha like really do tell me how your $1200 downpipe is THAT much better than all of the others. I could probably pay an engineer to handcraft me one out of aerospace grade metals for that cost.

    Engine/DSG mishap? Need help diagnosing.

    So I have the 2015 A3 2.0T quattro same engine as you guys with the dsg transmission. I'm running JB4 on map 2 but otherwise bone stock. I was going up a hill in 4th gear in manual mode around 1.9k rpm right where the boost starts to build and I put the pedal like 80% down. Usually what...
