Hi Team,
I've read all the posts on SAI and popping. I have the Trident track mufflers with half pipe on an 08 S3. I've had the dealer TORS tune. According to Peter at Trident, they use this setup although from the posts, some prefer the Arrow 3-1 map.
I have been told, too lean, too rich, just right. A past post from Peter / Trident said it's a little rich and as a result produces some fuel in the exhaust resulting in a bang. However, this little rich condition is very slight and will not damage the motor. Peters assessment seems logical to me. I once blew a hole in a piston running too lean so this is fine with me!
I don't like the really big pops that go off like a cannon when I chop the throttle (I know "Then don't do that").
I understand that bypassing the SAI will cure this. Is it just a simple matter of plugging the hose and keeping the solenoid attached to fool the computer?
Thanks for the info. Tinkering is too much fun to not do it.
Larry
