Nothing but pleased with the purchase of my 23 450+ SUV.
Unlike other EVs that I have driven the range is consistently fairly accurate and I regularly get more range than Mercedes thinks I should get.
I drive over 250 per day as an Uber driver and have put over 12000 miles on the car since I purchased it on August 1.
Happy to be part of the crew 😎😁
Saw an article today and it said Lamet was gone. Guess he'll never be able to show boff that he's better at everything than Booey.
Fuck that arrogant stupid fuck
So, here's my story. It's kinda long because a) it's been going on for a while and b) I'm trying to give the pertinent details in hopes of a good answer.
I started with a stock turbo, got Stage 1 APR tune. No problem.
Added a Stage 2 clutch, 3" ARM downpipe, ARM FMIC and other relevant hose upgrades, including the CAI.
I then upgraded to a Mabotech 550ah turbo, which should be good for at least 400 hp.
I got it tuned, although I always had issues with the tune, either because my MAF wasn't working correctly or boost leaks or whatever. It did seem to be running pretty good but the most I ever got on the Dyno was 265 hp at the wheels. This is after spending $2900 on the turbo, not to mention the cost of all the other upgrades.
Not more than a month or so after the Dyno the turbo decided that it didn't want to work and the little nipple attached to the wastegate control box (the metal can with the rubbery thing in it) decided that it didn't like being there anymore. I
Mabotech did send me out a replacement turbo and I put it in but it never ran as well as it did with the other one.
I also installed an upgraded LPFP and Mabotech injectors, hoping that would help smooth things out.
The turbo would go into boost, no fueling issues whatsoever but still kept having what seemed to be MAF related issues. Never ran quite right.
Fast forward not too many more months and that turbo failed and I have no idea why 💀
So, I got a Cobb AP and a stock turbo from eBay. Everything was going okay. I did a Stage 2 tune from Stratified and ran well on that for about a year. But then I had the spark plug debacle and wound up redoing my head and valves.
So I took the opportunity to upgrade my turbo and installed a K04 f23 turbo which is basically a hybrid k04.
Now, I'm getting it tuned through Stratified and I am experiencing what seems to be a fueling issue but I never had that with my Mabotech big turbo.
Any clues? Any ideas? Anything I'm missing?
Bought this vehicle on August 1 2026.
Noticed this hole in the door frame and another hole in the door itself.
Why on Earth would these holes be here? Anyone else have holes in their EQS SUV?
Anybody have any good tips or results using the parking assistance?
I will turn it on and pass up numerous open parking spots and nothing pops up on the screen.
Anybody amused by the recent California Psychic ads on the show?
Howard has voiced his cynicism about psychics on many occasions but I guess you gotta sell ad time to someone.
Fuck psychic Guma 😜 and the rest of the California Psychics 💀
I had a heckuva time getting the control arm in the slots in the back side, the part that comes with the control arm needs to be hammered on to the control arm and when it is on there it's about 30 degrees away from the mounting points so I popped it off and somehow managed to get it in there and now the control arm is almost touching the sway bar.
Are these end links too long for my lowered car? It didn't seem to be a problem when I had the stock control arm on there. I didn't do the other side because I think I have a problem.
Does this bring back memories for anybody else?
Was this personalized or just bad luck 🤔😜
What do you guys, that have been in Scientology, think about people being critical of other people because of their missed withholds?
There are some aspects of the tech that you can easily see examples of in popular fiction or factual stories but I've never seen a storyline resolve and everybody feeling better about themselves and the situation because the protagonist or antagonist tells everybody what they did wrong out of the goodness of their heart and I've never seen where someone is being critical of a person or organization because they've been stealing or defrauding or cheating.
I've written up tons of "overts and withholds" and have done 2 forms of FPRD while on the RPF and I don't think I've ever felt that sense of relief one is supposed to experience because I let someone know I jerked off last night.
I also find it hard to reconcile that the only reason people do bad things to other people is because they have already done bad to those people and they somehow feel justified to do it even more.
Asked Gemini what plugs run one temp colder for my 2011 GTI. This is what they said. Now I'm in the process of pulling my engine apart and either getting a new head and valves (because the electrode broke off in the cylinder) or a new long block (because I don't know what's causing no compression, could be damaged cylinder walls or fucked up valves)
All because Gemini told me the part number for the wrong fucking plug and said it was a popular option for the mk6 🤬🤬🤬
I'm so not happy right now!
The only silver lining is that now I'm forced to get a bigger turbo
I have a 2011 GTI with stock turbo, downpipe and all other supporting mods. I also have a gfb plus diverter valve. Stage 2 tune from Stratified. The tune has been on there for a while.
​
Recently I've been experiencing my turbo going up and down, not steady at any bit of throttle. I recently replaced the N95 as well.
​
Why on Earth am I experiencing this compressor surge? What can be done about this?
Why is my oil pressure all over the place at idle? It does the same thing when I'm cruising on the highway as well and even when the car is not running it's showing different pressures constantly?
​
I just added a ground wire to the body of the sensor but it doesn't seem to be any better
I am looking at buying a Q8 etron and it says that it takes over 14 hours to charge it up on a 240v charging cord.
Can anybody tell me how long it actually takes? I have a 50 amp breaker with a charger that can operate at 40 amps and I was able to charge my EV6 within 8 hours usually. 14 hours or more just doesn't make sense for my purposes.
