TSI R18 Turbo Installed First Update

[tomasro]

Stock R18: 120 whp for the manual, 105 (or something lame) for the auto. Claim is 180 whp for the manual with the stock exhaust.

OP, maybe we can get your tuning files to Procivic so they can distribute them with the kit for auto owners (like me!)

tc si > tc r18 even though closer in numbers. tc r18 < stock si maybe even intake header
but si gearing, limited slip would make it just too fast for turbod r18 imo

yea forreal this isnt an t/c r18 vs si thread. can we leave all the stuff out of this thread? we hear this EVERYTIME there is a thread about someone doing something to their r18

in for updates. Looks good. I like the fact u did this to 1) an r18 and 2) a color that isnt common and doesnt stick out. Personally i would throw some lx wheels on there and go sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeper.

listen guys chill out, im an r18 owner myself waiting to purchase this kit in the next couple months. this kid jess james had a thought (last post page 2) on turbo r18 vs turbo si both from tsi. sorry i forgot to quote him.

[maximo61170]

Just a quick update on how the tuning sesh went on the R18 today.

Well, i got the newest software update downloaded from AEM, whenever i would plug it into the F.I.C., my computer would freeze up. After downloading the updated software to another computer, i got the same results with that computer. I posted a thread on their forum but haven't got any answer from the techy nerds there at AEM. I will be contacting AEM on Monday to find out if there has been an issue with this new software yet (not likely because not a lot of people own the F.I.C. for the R18). Hopefully they give me good news.



p.s. i like my grill... Besides it doesn't matter you will never be in front of me to see it....

[Wreckless06si]

sorry to hear about ur software issues man, we are all looking for good news from u on this kit, even though im an si owner myself its nice to see what progress others are making on their cars, especially r18 owners since u guys have been put on the back burner as far as forced induction, and im really hoping you get great numbers from this kit!

[tomasro]

I assume you got the new software that came out today, 3.01. I haven't installed the FIC in my car yet (that's tuesday), but in terms of just hooking the FIC up to the cpu...I haven't had any issues. Did you have issues when attaching the FIC for the update (including firmware)?

Not sure if this is the case, but I've had problems with other softwares loading up where it would freeze the PC, but infact, they were so large or whatever that it appeared to have crashed the PC but it was actually loading.

Give it a few minutes or so and see if it works if you haven't already.

You should let me know how things go for you when you get things running as well but when I first plugged in my fic with the boomslang harness it was running terrible. Then I reflashed the fic for new software and it ran a little better but is still all over the place. I am hitting above 6psi and it is taking out a lot of fuel. We changed some numbers so it was steady from idle to 3000 rpms in park. Then we went out to try to street tune it and the program when opened was using 100% of the computers memory. So we are somewhat stuck until monday comes around and we can call aem and ask for help. We talked to aem on the phone yesterday and the said to work on the numbers on the maf page and zero out the map page. So as of right now it is running fine in first second and third when not hitting boost. We also let the computer sit there for about 20 min so it could load the gauge window which needs to be opened so we know exactly where on the maf page we were with rmps and volts so we are able to add or subtract numbers in rough area while driving around. The window never loaded. It starts to, then it freezes.

hey man ive been trying the think of a place to mount my boost gauge and see if you could post a few more pics of ur boot guage on how you mounted it there its seems like a good stop
