Very quiet for a 3.5” Adaptronic ecu with fuel pressure and Innovative wideband Walbro 450 Reusable tread stone filter Battery is located in bin. 1600 and stock primaries. deleted omp.pre mixing. its on a base map at 8lbs of boost.trying to find a decent tune eventually.nothing balls out crazy.just a good street tune. previous owner said its ready to tune.im also new to the fd .only really owned 2nd gens.if anyone can help me out with a adaptronics tune.also need advice on some gauges,boost,fuel mix,oil pressure. thanks |
Welcome!!! Looks like a great car!! Sounds like it has a ton of potential!
|
This is the gauge you will want to connect via can to your ecu;
https://turbosource.com/collections/...bus-gauge-52mm I believe I already emailed you back about your base map. |
anyone recommend a good accurate boost gauge. |
As far as boost gauges go I have always had good success with analog autometer gauges in my 944 turbo. I also ran a Turbosmart electronic boost controller, which was a really nice EBC for the money
|
I can second the autometer gauges, I don’t run a boost gauge from them but their coolant temp, oil temp, and oil pressure gauges have done me well.

fd
did some cleaning on engine bay and noticed my air control valve is not connected.cant even find where it would connect to.no wire near by.but car does stay idled at 1950 after warm up.steady. any answers to this? i called previous owner,he states he change idcv but couldnt find plug? 🧐

Take it to IPR and have them go over the whole car. Since it's new to you, you don't know what you are dealing with and they should be able to assess what you've got
Or you could start troubleshooting the various multiple unknowns on your own Just a suggestion |
^ Agree. 1950rpm is pretty high, you should have IRP at least go over the basic to make sure everything is in good shape.

Nice car!

Looks great! It's amazing what a little but of elbow grease can do to an engine!
|
thank you.have questions,anyone know the part number for the clips that hold the outer window trim in??? also what oil and oil filter do you recommend, previous own ran 10w30 gtx.which is what i ran in my 2nd gen years ago. been reading alot,some say 1030 ,2050, and 1040.im in humid summer soon nyc
|
Congrats! I also recommend taking the car to IRP for a check up. Running 15W-40 here in NYC...
|
Beautiful car!
|
Nice find
|
I would also recommend taking it in to get a complete PPI.. post purchase inspection as it were. another set of experienced eyes just to make sure can save you $$ in the end. Looks much better with it cleaned up!
