Great numbers, PERIOD. Love that color, and you can't go wrong with RPF-1's. I've never seen a car that they don't look the part on honestly. Those PCV's are junk to begin with so good call on swapping that thing outta there. Nice thing is the owner can sell the IS-38 to recoup some money, to someone who wants to upgrade their stock compressor. There is a reason Autotech is one of the original vendors from back in the day, still going strong, and they make a good product. The fault wasn't on their end, frankly it could've happened to anybody. Just proof positive how important cleanliness is when working on fuel systems, (especially D.I. cars,) and internal engine parts. BFI FTW. Another fantastic tuner who develops their parts based on real world experience on track.

I totally feel your pain with the gas situation in Nova Scotia. My RS3 was pulling -6 degrees timing all the way to red line on the stock tune. I've manage to pull clean logs with Unitronic st1 tune now with about ~10% ethanol blend every fill........however this means I have to live with a 55 gallon drum of ethanol in my garage. Shell is starting to roll out 91 e10 and 93 e10 out west, so maybe theres hope for us all.

The stock map sensor is maxed out. Upgrading map sensors gives the agility to turn the boost up a bit more. Note: this is not just a drop in option, the tune needs to be configured for the different map sensors.

Are you seeing any timing corrections with the 91? Or EQT kept it close to zero?

Still a little bit, but timing is conservative so not much.
