The ones in my sig are 949Racing 15x7 6UL's in matte black

I got them from 949racing.com

 

Do a search on the audi 5000cs factory turbo button.
It's mentioned on the Audi boards too, it was allegedly the cause of unexpected rapid acceleration which Audi was later cleared of. The functions were also in the manual.

 

Looked around & only saw about the rapid acceleration, didn't see about any button. Link me now,.I'm curious. Sorry for cluttering the thread.

 

There's a few threads on Audiworld.com on the 5000/200 turbo button, I will find the best ones and link them. Also there's some youtube vids on the acceleration w/ turbo. It was a great feature which I miss, but the car was plagued with electrical gremlins and constant repairs. There's some links that come up with a google search but when you click the link they're outdated, altavista has more links, but the Audiworld ones are better, will link you later.

Java, those luxury features will spoil you for future cars that's one thing I really miss. Seat memory, sunroof, heated leather front seats, the trip computer had so many options, miles to go, total miles, turbo bar pressure, gallons used, gallons left, etc,etc, etc.... enjoy the VW, I gotta pass thru and see it one day.

 

I like threads like this. seeing the transformation...good job

 

The button was part of an electronic wastegate control system. Turbo "on" = proper wastegate actuation. Turbo "off" = pins the wastegate open.

You can technically do this on any turbo car with an solenoid wired to an EBC, with some effort. Usually requires an aftermarket wastegate though.

OP: Shame to see the Fit go, I liked that GE! Hows the Tiguan now that you've had some time in it...2.0TFSI?

 

Absolutely man feel free I actually met up with some local vw guys last night and had a great time. As much as I told myself I wasnt going to do a lot of modification to this one, im laughing as im saying it lol

thanks a lot! It will be missed

 

Hey guys, who wants to help me decide on wheels for my Tiguan??

These are the ones I'm looking at and I can get a pretty good deal and use the stock tires which is a nice money saver. they are 18x8 +35 let me know if they look good. THANKS!!!

 

I vote for 13" Panasports...you might have to do a 5 lug to 4 lug conversion tho...

 

lmfao maybe if i had a miata hahaha i dont even thing my disc brakes would fit in those wheels haha

 

I vote for 6ULR lol

 

I like em but the curved spokes are a little strange

 

Thanks for explaining it... it worked great on the car (automatic) provided you were going over ~45 mph. A great little feature, and one of the few which worked till the end of the car's life. Been missing that turbo feeling and if I ever turbo my GE8 (manual) would probably want to go with a Turbo "on" setup (I see that being more better for more torque from the low-mid rpm range).


Looks like you got a good choice right there. Slight tint on the windows, and maybe some tail tint to finish the look. Looks good!!! How are the mods coming along?

 

I know you haven't said anything about it in a while but I have to throw in my .02.
I LOVED my Ninja 250. It was fun, flickable, easy and didn't cause me anxiety. I thought I was ready to step up when I got my SV 650s but it made me more nervous than anything. If I ever get another bike...250. That is, if I don't pick up a ruckus instead ;-)

 

haha i actually looked to see if the 17's would work but they dont have the matte black in my new bolt pattern and theres nothing i could do about it

thanks for the input, i think it is a subtle enough detail from a distance that it will look good.

thanks!! yeah im planning some tints. im planning getting an ecu stage I flash done soon which is gonna get me 50hp and about 100tq

yeah i think the 250 for me is definitely the way to go but i just dont know when its gonna happen now that i have the new car and also an apartment soon

 

so if anyone is interested, i got my new wheels on the Tiguan and ordered an intake today.

Heres a recent pic

 

Im going APR on my A4 The only thing that sucks is the closest place that can do the flash is 4 hours away... ugh

and the tiggy looks good man

 

wow 4 hours...why don't you just send it in instead if its not your daily?

and thank you!

 

Well i thought it was about time for an update on here for my Tiguan

I have done a whole bunch of stuff to it...here's the list:

APR Stage 2 Tune
CF Vinyl on front and back VW emblems
Autometer Boost Gauge installed in steering column mounted pod
42DD 2.0L Boost Tap

on order - 3" Catless Downpipe for 4motion 2.0L TSI

Here are a couple updated pics of the ride hope you guys like it.

Boost Gauge:








Here's some of the emblems after i vinyl'd them. Not too bad for a first time i think:




And here's a toy i bought myself for my birthday

 

Forgot to post some pics of my new intake too..
