2 step/wot box?

[Blakester]

I found this and want to give it a try. Just curious if people have had good luck with them with TSI's and if they are even available for TSI's??

And most importantly, I dont want to install it, and have something crazy happen with the unit and have it end up cooking some sort of expensive electrical part on the car. I am confedent with my wiring, just not so much with the unit itself.

I have had one on my 07 gti 10 mustang and now my 11 gti. No issues at all.

Are the boxes the same for FSI and TSI cars?

yep

[Blakester]

Any you have not heard anything about the boxes trashing other components on the car?

Branman...does the "intentional misfire" give you a cel?....i want one just for the no lift shift really, it would be nice to hold boost between shifts, especially when i get my k04 in the spring

my friend has one for me..im hoping its the dual feature one so i can install in a few months with all my other parts..just have to make some time to pick it up from him..

[DRedman45]

yeah i wouldn't get one without the dual function...i would just use the no lift **** more than the launch control

[Blakester]

I read that it will only throw a cel if you are on 2step for extended periods of time. Really, you should only need it for a like 5 seconds at the most anyways.

Another question is, my car is an 09 mkv with a TSI. would the wiring for the box be different form the MKV and/or the MKVI instructions?

While using the launch control it will give you a CEL. I mainly use the no lift shift which works amazing and doesn't throw a code.

Im pretty sure you can upgrade it from n2mb but I'm not 100% on that.

Not many people run them but like I said flawlessly on 3 cars that I have owned. If you know how to solder and a little about wiring your set.

Yeah thats pretty much my thought when I got mine.

It will throw a CEL pretty quickly. Sometimes faster than others but don't think if you keep doing for 2-3 seconds you will never flag a fault.

I think I found the right harness, following the MKV instructions, atleast from what I can tell.

In my pic, you can see a big red (next to the 2 browns) and bellow (next to the green), is the purple/grey wire. I assume Those are the two in that harness that I needed to find.

Sub for later

Anyone have any input for me? plan to order one tomarrow night.

What more info do you need?

[Blakester]

Those were the 2 correct wires (described in the post with the pic) that I would be working with in that particular harness right? Everything else is pretty clear to me.

Sorry about being a pain in the ass, just wanna be sure that I dont **** anything up.

The pic you posted is of a mk5. If you read the instructions on n2mb's website there is a couple parts where they specifically mention a mk6 and show pics. The pics are actually ones that I took.

Branman are you DSG or manual? How does this interact with the "hard rev" files some of the tuners make for the TSI?

The wotbox only works with a manual trans. You will not be able to use the launch control (set past 4k) if the hard rev is active at 4k like factory. You can set it at 3k and it will work just fine. When I was stage 2 I could turn off ESP and I could rev past 4k. Im not sure if thats the same still.

If you have a cat it can clog your cat over time. other then tht no issues.

Ive had mine on my car for 6+ months its been great WOT shifts are awesome. close as your going to get to DSG shifts

i realize this is an old thread but i am looking at purchasing a 2-step system. last weekend i fell in love with it at sowo during the low down sound off. i am stage 2 APR in my 2007 gti DSG so basicaly my question is what if any compatability issues will i have since im in an automatic.

[speed4568]

if you're DSG you don't need this
