Renntech offers a tuning box of some sort, rather than an ECU remap? Their AMG A45s option is pretty expensive.

I think a lot of people also use the Milltek valve controller when they do an exhaust. Apparently the V2 Aerie is better regards not throwing exhaust valve codes, however the system is super sensitive so don’t be surprised if it does. Just get the valve recalibrated if it does happen, or run...

It’s just a page in the Lotus diagnostic software. They go to the page in the Lotus software, select the exhaust valve calibration and press go. The valve goes to full open, full closed and the car learns the new open/closed positions of the valve. That’s it, very simple with the correct...

Take some pics of the exhaust valve shaft and mounting plates before you install it. Also the little spring to join the motor to shaft.

You’ll probably need to get the exhaust valve re calibrated at Lotus if you change the exhaust. The valve is super sensitive to the slightest difference in the open and closed position. I had CEL after changing my I4 Exhaust, after recal, no problem.

Not what I’d describe as a detailed explanation :ROFLMAO:

So what sort of tricks would this TDI be pulling to increase the boost pressure, maintain safe AFR, whilst keeping the ECU happy that it’s functioning normally? Not too familiar with how this sort of device.

This explains what I’ve noticed (I4 owner). Firstly the audio is descent when the engine isn’t running (windows up or down). Sound deteriorates significantly when you are driving but is sort of acceptable, but as soon you open a window whilst driving, the low frequency is really bad and...

That’s what I meant say :) I didn’t do the job myself, was just keeping an eye whilst others did the job. Apparently it is easy if you remove that part I circled above. Only got this info after it was all done, so not too sure about the details.

You don’t need to remove the turbo. We removed part of the turbo to get the cat out, but I’m told you can do it without even doing that. The circled part can be removed, then the cat can be removed through the access panel in the trunk, without removing any of the turbo. This is what I was...

Yes, exactly the same. It pushes the fronts out 12mm and the rears 15mm (on a V6) on the outside face of the rim. However with ET64 instead of ET54, the rears are pushed out 25mm reference to standard wheels, which is too much. It looks silly and will rub.

That’s going some :cool:

I did same specs as you exactly. 9” on front, 11 on rear

After a track session, you can see some crazy low values on a tank for sure. My I4 was slightly more than that after a track session plus fill up, but not much more. The I4 does better on fuel and does well in a run, but it drinks plenty if you actually use remotely use the power on the road.
