This is a well documented issue that had a recall in the US ... does not seem to affect cars in Europe AFAIK but its to do with the seal on the tank under the rear seat perishing / leaking if memory serves correct.

Hello @maw1124 !!

We are almost ready! We have everything installed (TCU, 83mm SC Pulley, Heat Exchanger, Bosch 010 Pump, 550cc Bosch Injectors, Carbon intakes, Intake sensor, valve cover gaskets, all the filters, differential oil change, spark plugs, engine mounts, starter, suspension kit, belts and waiting for the belt tensioner), the only thing I am missing are 2 O2 Sensor Extension Harness, in total I needed 4 and I only ordered two, but I ordered the missing ones from @VictoryRoadPerformance

Replace the auxiliary battery of the vehicle today because the one that was installed in the car was not the correct one.

I did 3" pipe from the X-Pipe all the way to the back to the tips , decatted and mufflers deleted. It sounds like a beast! Can't wait to tune this week (RaceIQ)

I attached two videos, one of them when I had just finished installing the exhaust pipes and the other when I was leaving the workshop. The videos do not do justice to how it really sounds.

Next week I will be uploading more detailed videos, already tuned, washed and on the highway!
