£25? At that price I predict a lot of self-soldering related ECU death incoming to the forum!

What power are you running that needs traction control to fix it? Are you sure its just not practise that you need?

Yep

Catch tanks are only really required for competition. The only job of that vent is to relieve pressure so a pipe to the ground does the job - it just means all the oil vapour etc... end up on the road (and on the underneath of your car)

I had 268s on mine on NA and there was no noticeable difference to mid range over standard but it hit about 3800RPM and took off!

Is the actual software not a part of the racelogic ecu? This box needs to plug in to something that is controlling the engine. Looks like a plug in module for an aftermarket ecu or something

Take a standard vr6 with full airbox and add more sucking and thats what mine sounds like at the front (standard inlet manifold with large cone filter) The exhaust loses some of the vr6 warble but it's still there and still sounds very much like a vr6.

I've been running a cooler on mine for a while without the standard water cooler and I'm putting the water based one back on. Your coolant aims for 90 degrees which is also where you want your oil. As far as I can see there are no drawbacks from having both. The BIG drawback I see from not having the water cooler is the warm up time. It takes a good 10-15 minutes of 50+ mph driving to get mine up to 70-80 degrees oil temperature from cold... and that's with a turbo heating it up! A mates vr only takes 3-4 minutes of the same drive with the same oil to reach decent oil temp. C2 sell an adaptor

The breather thing isn't needed and can be ignored on a mk2. Try running the car with the maf unplugged. If it improves the maf might be dead or some wiring fault there. My one had a faulty throttle position sensor that caused the same as your "it idles and runs at full throttle but pops and bangs at part throttle" thing. Try unplugging it... if it it runs better replace the sensor. A VR6 should run normally (as in idle smoothly and rev freely) with all of the extra sensors but the crank sensor unplugged assuming normal operation of the basic stuff (coilpack, spark plugs, injectors etc...) so

VAGCOM !

ALL CAPS IS VERY ANNOYING AND ISN'T GOING TO GET YOU AN ANSWER QUICKER.

Use one of these myself: http://www.optionimports.com/aemgawiueco.html AEM UEGO. Looks good and works nice.

I use an avcr on mine and its awesome. Very simple to install...

1/4 mile is shorter in the states... FACT.

Is your luuuuuuuuuurrrvely auto box broken?
