[s-cars] 3071 turbo & Pastore RS2 code question

[Dave Forgie]

Dave:  I know Uncle  Bob didn't actually write the code.  I also "know"  
(believe) the two chips were not originally developed as a pair but have
 been "married" from two sources, e.g. MTM and Thomas Schmalz.   But
 that is not the point.  The point is the software is fairly aggressive timing
 and boost-wise, e.g. 317 whp running 10L toluene with 70 L of 94 with an
 RS2 turbo and injectors = about 396 crank hp from one of our club cars.

Put this together with the 1.9L WG spring and an engine with 248,000  
miles and I still contend its a receipe for a "bomb"/grenade.  As I  
suggested, either the "Pastore" software and a stock WG spring (which  
you agreed with) OR the MRC software and the 1.9 bar WG spring BUT  
NOT the "Pastore" software AND the 1.9 bar WG spring.

And on the issue of pinging, I bet none of the long-term users of the  
"Pastore" software live at sea level like we do.  The combination of  
aggressive timing, etc. and dense air just doesn't work as well as other  
places in North America and results in lean air fuel ratios that cause  
pinging at WOT. That's just a fact, not speculation.  

Cut the red wire.

Just to make sure we've got our facts straight...
  
"Pastore" software was designed by some of the best Audi tuners there are.. not by Bob.  It was not put together by hacks.  Bomb... no.  Some have experieced pinging, and others have run it for a long time with NO issues.  I ran that same software with both a GT30R, and a GT3071.  Both worked fine.
  
I would not suggest you use a stiffer WG spring.  That is certainly not needed.
  
The fact that you're bolting this stuff on an engine with 248k on the clock... well, that seems a bit risky.

Your combination of Pastore software and the 1.9 bar spring is like lighting the fuse on a bomb and waiting for it to blow up.  And your bomb has 248,000 miles on its precious old clock.
