Hey guys, I'm currently setting up to move to NYC and wont be needing my car anymore. I'm looking to sell my car as it is without having to part it out or return to stock and sell to a dealer. It's a 2019 Hatchback sport in Polished Metal Metallic with a CVT transmission, has 46k miles on it at...

Sure! Just shoot me a message

haha I’m rockin the CVT unfortunately. One of those things that was supposed to be a ktune starter map only car, but quickly found myself in too deep to trade in for an si so I just kept the cvt and built it out

So we’re back up and running now! I sent the turbo to 27won and they said the fault was most likely caused by oil thinning due to ethanol and the summer heat. I got a brand new w1 turbo with a new warranty and they cut me a pretty good deal considering I had no warranty on my unit since it was...

nope, got it second hand, but I think they’re going to do the best they can do for me. It looks like just the wheel needs to be replaced and balanced. Hopefully nothing else is wrong with it. Check my last thread for a full report on the situation

hopefully, sounds like they want to fully inspect it and get back to me with my options from there.

False alarm, I found it in the shed

My w1 turbo popped, and currently have the stock one back on and come to find out I don’t have the oil feed line or the banjo bolt for the OEM turbo. I know this is a stretch but if anyone has their stock line from a non si turbo that I could borrow (want to borrow) or I can pay something less...

Off the car, going to send it out tomrrow

you should be okay to throw it on there if it’s one of the more recent batches. I think it’s the older batches that are having failures. Not sure what other mods you’ve got on there but if you’re deep in it and FBO and flex already I’d say slap the w1 in there, you’d be pretty surprised how much...

Had some time and motivation this afternoon to start getting this turbo off the car. Ive been whippin the sienna around while the civi lays dormer. I just removed everything that was in the way of it today and going to see if I can get it off and put the stock one back on tomorrow. Housing and...

I sent an email, and Vincent asked me to fill out a q&a so they can better understand what happened. The company has great customer service (in the past too for me) despite the turbos not lasting how they or we expected. He asked me to send it in for inspection and give me some more info on what...

We have our answer

Just got a new log for you guys, and I'll attach one of the last logs from the etune process as well. Currently got the downpipe bolts cracked while the car was still warm after the drive, and waiting for a cool down to check inside.

To everyone: I just got back from the west coast and going to start diagnosing this thing in the next few days. It’s been sitting this whole time. I definitely plan to update you guys with whatever the issue is! I can try and get some log for you of old drives from the tuning process and also a...

yea ive heard they’re failing at ridiculous rates even when kept within their recommended limits. Pretty unfortunate. I plan to get in there soon and check it out. I’ve been avoiding it for sanity reasons LOL

peaks at 28 Edit: ususally lingers around 26 and only 28 for a very brief period from what I see on logs

nah no CEL, I checked the charge pipes too (without taking it all apart) and dont think its that since Ive done that once too. I'm thinking by the sound (sounded like the wheel wanted to spin but was grinding) and smell of it, its a turbo issue, hence the no boost but obviously cant be for sure...

To make this short, I was behind a mini coop, used my paddles in my CVT hatch to drop a "gear" and pass him. Got to peak rpm and boost (40-70ish) and the car let out a bang and rpms shot down and I smelled something hot. At first I thought it was the trans due to the integrity of the cvt, but I...

Cloudy days really let’s the satin show. I added a banner that’s matte black so it kinda blends in nicely. here’s a drive by sound clip that a friend got for me. Sounds really good in tunnels too
