Default Originally I removed the n75...

I had the MBC and TCD in. I was told it would help if I were to up the timing and put in race gas. I added the n75 back in because my turbo started to get louder and I wanted to be sure I wasn't overboosting the car. That being said, I always had the MBC set fairly conservatively.

It may come down to removing things and then putting them back on, one at a time, updating the tune, and so on.

Aside from having the TCD and MBC, does anyone see anything in the graphs I've posted that seems out of the ordinary?

VAG-Com logs suck...hard to really analyze.

Default ah, the variable TCD. I could see that.

but the 1-bar TCD, which is clearly what he's using, why would you use that with N75?.

Default I can take it off. No problem...

VAST recommends that I just use the MBC with the TCD as well.

I am replacing the driver's rear window regulator tonight (just replaced the other one due to the plastic disk failure a few weeks ago). I will take care of the N75 while I am at it.

Default With BCless GIAC X, 1 bar is all that works.

If you are running stage 3 with BC-less GIAC X, you can get "best of both worlds" to a certain extent by running MBC+N75+TCD.

Default not a whole lot

two unimpressive fans on the intercoolers (the kind you'd find used in a home garage to circulate air, about two and a half feet tall, low rpm) and a decent one on the radiator (snail type fan).
