Interesting, glad that you were able to solve your problem.

Great advice Ian.

 

awesome- I am glad to hear it was a relatively easy fix. I bet you are loving the new exhaust sound eh?

Nice advice Ian- way 2 go!!

 

Great news!! I wonder if I need to do the same. I just installed BMC filters into my X51 airbox and now have a noticeable hesitation upon hard acceleration. Wonder if now that there is more airflow coming from both sides of the intake that it is throwing the computer off

 

Delighted your car is back - as long as there's no specific fault conditions, an ECU reset always seems to work if the car's just 'gone off'.

 

It's certainly worth a try - can't do any harm. At least it will let the ECU adapt as closely as it can (these adaptations are quite limited) to what's on the car.

Also check for air leaks, particularly around the induction hose between the airbox and throttle body, as this will also cause the hesitation you're experiencing. (I'd check whatever you've used to fill the gap between the larger X-51 inlet hose and the smaller standard throttle body as a prime potential culprit).

 

Go Cattman go. Supercharge or save / trade for that TT!!!!!!!!!

 

Glad your car's back, John!

 

Glad to hear your car is back. Are you going to make sure your coworker knows that his IS is truly no match?

 

Funny you mention that. Last night, by pure coincidence, the owner of the IS and I left the office at the same time, and found ourselves on the same stretch where I couldn't break from him.

Well, suffice it to say this time was different, very different. He was in my rear view in no time. Very satisfying. I know it's juvenile, but he won't tangle with me again anytime soon. And by then, who knows, I may be running an SC.

How can you tell if the car is off if you don't "get on it"? Sometimes my car feels a bit more spirited than others, can this be the fuel? I use different stations, but same octane.
