Sorry if I've been AFK.

Yeah ! Good Luck

Happy Easter !

RE: The general chat thread - cuchillo_baishan - April 8th, 2023

This is beginning to look like normal Easters again (we call it Holy Week), except for the weather, a bit too hot for April.

But while everyone is relaxed and enjoying their vacation travel, religious ceremonies, the life before covid...prices are 20% more expensive.

It's certainly feeling more 'normal' this year, but yes the price of things is awful!

Yesterday, Easter Saturday, it was 0 degrees Celsius and 5 cm of fresh snow, just like that :-( , Christmas instead of snow, we had sunshine and 16 degrees plus

RE: The general chat thread - Guardian - April 10th, 2023

Hope everyone is doing well. Closed on my new house this week so I've been busy moving in every spare minute. So tired!

RE: The general chat thread - SpookyZalost - April 10th, 2023

Had my first day at my new job. Doubled my pay, free lunches, 8 hour daytime shifts. I'm now a system engineer for a private school.

Installed on my Audi 2 new turbochargers including manifolds, power level 3, 20 hours of work, on Wednesday we go to the dynamometer and adapt the software, should be around 900 hp :-) I'm curious, I also took some pictures

I'm curious, what is power level 3?

Stage 3 is: 
Changed engine control including cancellation of the rev limiter when stationary, change in the flap control and increase in the V-max limit as well as an increase in the sound experience, adapted transmission control with changed switching logic, increased clutch pressure, shortened switching times and adjustment of the torques, modified, large IHI turbochargers in exchange, Modified APR MAP sensors, Modified APR DOWNPIPES exhaust downpipes with metal catalyst and thermal insulation in exchange: replaces the standard downpipe, Modified large water cooler for intercooling Modified APR intake with REVO sports air filter, enlarged hoses and enlarged intake manifold, Stage 3 is now the last stage with the large turbos , more is not possible, now I would have to remove the cylinder heads and install other valve springs, because the supercharger pressure would open the intake valves if there was even more pressure. Were on the performance update today and now have 915.1 hp with 1150 NM torque :-)

Apologies for my absence. My move is MOSTLY complete. Trying to get settles in.

I'm hoping. Now its a lot of unpacking and cleaning the old house.

RE: The general chat thread - tc4me - April 21st, 2023

cleaning the old house, that's always the worst job

RE: The general chat thread - SpookyZalost - April 23rd, 2023

RE: The general chat thread - tc4me - April 24th, 2023
