Handyman Dan's TSI Project

I installed new rear speakers in the car

I was able to prep and paint the bumpers and the side rear view mirrors and the three rear spoiler pieces today. The plastic parts were faded so I decided to paint them so that they would match the original paint on the rest of the car. The rear spoiler parts (3) were a pain to remove but I got them all off so that I could paint them.

I noticed a transmission leak today. the speedometer drive was seeping fluid so I pulled it and cleaned it up and installed new o-rings in it and resealed it. I installed it back in the transmission. I am getting close to getting the car off the jack stands and didn't want this little leak bothering me.

Here is some pictures of the car back together again. It gets to see direct daylight again.

I have ordered a stepper boost gage, fuel pressure gage, and MK1 STARION FRONT ADJUSTABLE PILLOW BALL CAMBER PLATES over the weekend.
I have the car running and don't want to drive it any untill I get the camber plates installed and have the car aligned so that I don't wear the new tires.
I am still working on the tune for the engine and I am at a point where I need to drive the car to get it tuned right.

I had the car alinged and here are some pictures of the bottom side I took while the TSI was on the rack.

I had the TSI on a Dyno for some tunning. We made 9 runs with it. The car is still running rich above 4500 RPM. The only thing I worked with was the fuel ve table. I didnt work with any AFR table or the igintion table. I blew off a charge hose at 22 PSI boost and had a exhaust leak at the wastegate valve so I called it a day. The testing was looking good up to that point.
If anyone has any good ignition and AFR tables that I could use as a good starting point please send them to daniel@thestarquestclub.com

I have the touch screen monitor mounted. My control station is starting to come together.
This touch screen is a monitor for the MegaSquirt ECM and Tuner Studio, It will also work for a touch screen for any GPS software installed on the laptop.
I can say that I really like the touch screen it is nice and usuable.
I think it will be a fun addition to the car. You can change the programing of the ECM, monitor all the engine functions on it, you can also use it as a GPS unit and if you wanted to you could use it to play mp3 on it with windows media player. WOW I just thought of this you can use it to watch DVD also.
