So I got the itch again, now I’m in a 3.2 Quattro! I was playing with a B5 S4, great car and we had a lot of fun. However It was sold when my daughter was born. I have been waiting for the right car ever since, and I have found it. I always missed my old A3 so I’m very exited about this car.

I need to retract part of my previous statement, it is not plug and play. It’s close, but I don’t want people reading this in the future and thinking it’s easy.

The MK4 R32 uses Bosch 4.2 wideband, the MK5 R32 based 8P uses the newer 4.9. The PNP kit EMU offers is for the MK4. Both sensors have 6 pins, but are wired differently. All that’s needed is moving some pins around.

Also, the MK4 uses a fan control module. The MK5 does not, it is ECU controlled. Very easily wired and controlled by the Black, but not PNP.

So please don’t think this is a plug and go type deal.

Both 034 and UM have great files for my car. So I could have used the of the shelf stuff. This was more for the future, my car will constantly change, now I’m not bound by the tuning. Also Ive wanted to get into tuning, this is my way of learning.


I think there are few noises better than a turbo VR6. :cool:
I must agree, it’s intoxicating!

I’ve been getting the tune sorted out, doing everything myself. Sitting at 1bar boost, the DW65 fuel pump is now maxed out on e85. It’s actually been my daily driver for the last month. The car is a blast!
Next step now is upgrading the upgraded fuel system haha!

I’m so bad with this thread, npace I use a legit machine in the shop, recover, vacuum, and charge.
When I replaced the clutches I reused the cover. The seal now leaks lol. I have a new cover but the car is put away in the garage. I’ll get to it eventually, but I’m not motivated.

I’m enjoying my new daily at the moment, 8V 2.0TQ.
