Let me guess: BP fuel?

Yes, but:

1. This shiny thing will not see any daylight at all once installed
2. You are running a risk that the shiny thing will chip and the paint chips will mix with the oil which could lead...

:) All fine and dandy here. If the piece is made out of aluminium, I see no reason why it would be coated. I mean, the entire oil filter housing is non-coated aluminium. Also, not trying to be a...

I just saw your oil cooler thermostat mod and I am having hard time understanding why would you have this part anodized/painted in any color. What happens if the paint cracks/chips and...

I would caution you against a full transmission swap because the gearing will be all wrong. Diesels have a much narrower power band and therefore the gearing is designed to maximize this as much as...

I agree, but on the bright side of things: this motor handles the power quite well with stock internals. Go do this same stuff to a Honda or a Subaru and see what happens :)

I am glad it is working. I should build a Virtual Machine and just upload it to the interwebz for everyone to use...

The BAVTool can also read all codes in the TCM

Start over:

1. Delete everything.
2. Download my zip
3. Follow instructions very carefully.

Many people have done this already using my zip and instructions. If you can't get it to work,...

You will also need a differential from a MT car as the final drive is different.

Thanks for the clarification! It seems that after 250 miles, my diff has quieted down a bit, but the whine is still there. In any case, I will make it to 500 miles and then drain it, pop the diff...

One note to this: there are different idle settings depending on what the car is doing. The idle setting is different for situations when the engine is cold, rough running is detected, battery is...

Tony and Dzenno: Congrats on this achievement! This is what I would call a true milestone for the N54 platform!

If you are to make a true, real life estimate, how much power should this kit put...

^^ That's the EXACT same cable I am using. Works great. Just don't use any of the software (except for the drivers) on that CD.

tullnd,

Thanks for the feedback. Yes I do have the TCD. Quieter and cooler operation is what I wanted so I opted for the TCD. Do you also have aftermarket diff bushings?

BlackSheep,

Thanks...

I think you are correct. I've heard a very very slight "thud" with my stock diff before, on very rare occasions, mostly when engaging in gear after the car has sat in the garage for a week.

God I hope VAC did not ship me the the wrong diff housing with a Wavetrack...

All,

I just got my car back from getting an O.S. Giken installed along with M3 subframe bushings and Delrin differential bushings.

The LSD was built by VAC since I had welded ring gear. So I...

Chart Man strikes again! Me likey! :)

Lord Voldemort is too busy trying to brainwash his sheeples and staying on top of all the posts that need deletion on E90post.

The last thing you want on the track is a lumpy boost/torque coming out of a corner.

I did a bit of digging myself.

Wow! This must be some sort of a record! My post as deleted not 5 minutes after I created it! ...on a Friday night! LOL Shiv's hard at work on E90 :)

I could not resist:

Could you do me a favor and scan this letter for me?

Thank you.
