So will these DV work for the 2011+ Cayennes as well? Also, it's hard to tell the location of these from the pictures, but it sure doesn't look fun. Had to do it for my Audi TT and that was a pain.

 

dying to get dyno results !

 

Cole, did you ever get your coil packs put in?

 

Hopefully tomorrow.

 

Good news.....got my coils in today. Old ones looks good, no cracks so it must have just been the BPV issue. Who needs some good coils?


..and the bad news......Something else to fix now first!

 

Cole, Can you shed some more info, website etc, on the blue springs for these valves. Did you go blue due to your ECU upgrade?

I have a stock CT and was curious if I could use these APR R1 valves as direct replacements or do I need different springs installed.

 

Honestly I have no idea what the blue springs really mean. I emailed APR and told them my specs and they chose the springs.

 

Is that your drive shaft?

 

Yes, the dreaded drive shaft support bearing. I ordered a new one that will hopefully be here today.

Hope its not too hard to install.

 

Cole, did you notice anything while driving
that would lead you to suspect a drive shaft support bearing failure had you not actually inspected the part visually?

 

I would occasionally get a low speed rumble. That was about it. It came apart under full throttle.

When I tok the shaft out my CV joint was way stiff, so it was failing. Tried replacing just the bearing support but the CV was too shot. Had to replace the whole shaft. Just got it sorted yesterday and now waiting on a flight to Seattle.

 

Hi guys wanted to share my experience with the Upsolute tune. I am down in Miami and I usually take road trips to ny etc in the winter with the family. about 3 years ago I was heading to Chicago and fooled the wife into making a pit stop in North Carolina. Left the wife in the hotel and went to see Rene and his son from Upsolute. I must say when I arrived at his house I thought I was going to end up behind a milk carton. Not to mention I couldn't understand **** he was saying! Once I was able to translate his accent I discovered that these two guys know there ****. They were extremely helpfull and kind. I took a huge risk going there and having them take my ecu out and reprograming it. if the tune failed I was going to be screwed! after seeing my life flash before my eyes a few times during the process I took the car for a spin. I noticed that it spooled up a lot faster but wasn't sure if the difference in boost was better. I had all the road in the world to try it the result was definitely noticeable in the low rpms and the boost gaugue did go up all the way to the end. Since then I ordered the dv valves from rene put in the bypass, and k&n. Tune has been working great. I do have the rough idle problem but I haven't checked my coils. I am out of warranty now so will try and get some coils to see if that makes it better. here is a clip of how it's running but it was a horrible attempt at topping it out.
