  1. Had a wee issue with the Touareg lately. An egt sensor went bad and the ecu refused to do the dpf burn off so went limp mode hard. After replacing the sensor the limp mode wouldn’t let the exhaust temps rise enough for the ecu to trigger the burn. 
    Chap I took it to tried to force it with his electronic gizmo a couple of times with no luck. 
    Popped a bottle of additive in it to raise the cetane and up came the temps and dpf burn off. So obviously does something ha  

    And that’s my story

    Give it until xmas, a good 3 coupe will probably be sub 30 again...

    Yeah maybe. I think the last thing I’d be doing right now is spending $50k on an old car. But it’s anybody’s guess really.

    Well fuck haha. 

    i think in the long run that running the GM unit will be easier for tuning and I suspect this layout will be better for heel/toe but I just need to find tune placement.

    Im quite disappointed I didn’t think about e46 throttle tho 

    Meh. At least you know the two are compatible. 
     

    Also, I find the BMW wiring pretty straightforward once you’ve got a grip on it.
