    Anyone here messed with uni settings? I just downloaded it from their site, curious as to what people think.

    I'm already chipped by them, so its not like i'm looking for thats aspect of things, just curious as to what, if anything i could do with it.

    Raise fuel pressure to 4 bar, add 15% to primary fuel, add 4-6* ignition timing, and you can run E85. Otherwise raising your idle is about all it's good for. Or adjusting ignition timing for race gas/meth injection.

    Uni settings is made to do tweaks to your programing to make it work with other mods. Like increasing timing when you install water/meth injection. If you have upgraded motor mounts you can bump your idle up a little to compensate for some of the shaking.

    That is a bad advice, raising fuel pressure to 4 bar and adding 15% to primary fuel enrichment is not enough fuel to run e85. You need at least 440 injectors at 5 bar to supply enough corn juice and would be limited into how much boost you can run. Another problem with your advice is that you forgot to take into consideration injector duty cycle that would be trough the roof. I needed 630 injectors in my TT to run e85 and keep injector duty cycle under 80%. Do you run e85?

    I'm running Uni Stage 2, which is not displayed on their website, but it does exist! I love it. Prior to this i've not had any programming on my tt. My a4 1.8T had GIAC x chip and it was a pos. Right away it was problems!! and they were like well maybe you need to swap n75's and blah blah blah. it was the biggest pain to deal with those guys. Uni is much much nice, very powerful, smoothe, and if you have any questions just call them up and they answer.

    You're correct. Its been so long since I ran stock injectors, I forgot about that. Stockers wouldn't support more than stock boost on E85. Yes, I run E85 but I have 1200cc injectors

    quick question, how much fuel enrichment percentage at warm up do you run? Right now I run 8% more at start up but get occasional misfire until the engine warms up. I'm thinking of adding more but not sure how much.Thanks!

    what do you mean " would i still throw myself into limp mode"? are you currently running in limp mode?
    The n75 race is just a quicker acting valve, i believe.

    no i'm not currently in limp mode, i have a leak. my ECU is still requesting the same amount of boost, but the map sensor is showing that the boost tapers, while the request remains the same.

    but it's my understanding that on more than a few occasions people have had recurrent spiking with race n75 valves and it's sent them into limp mode. i'm wondering if when all is sorted out with my leak, if this is worth purchasing or not.

    (james, shhh i'm not going lower )

    I believe the 225 has a n75j stock lol. You would just be replacing it. People with 180's run ours because it adds 2 psi of boost and lets it spike longer I believe.

    If you are having overboost issues, give the J valve a shot..seriously. Just DO IT.

    Way to bump a 2 year old thread, may it rest in peace now unless some of the new bloods have some questions they need answered! BTW there are many possible cause for an overboost and a revision N75 is not going to be the answer to most of them.
