Have you tried unplugging the MFTS to see if the boost comes back?

You know, I did when I was first troubleshooting things when I got the car.. and I replaced the MFTS with a new one.. I have NOT since I fixed the TPS.. so perhaps I will!

Not much done.. had a credit online so I got some additional Sylvania Zevo bulbs for the rear end.. FINALLY theres LED's that are just wonderful.

I put a set of 1156 in the turns, and 1157's in the brake/parking and fog/parking lights.

I got the all red version of the bulbs, and like the ones I have used in my 4kq, theyre wonderful. Daytime light is a little bit better, and nighttime is a HUGE difference.

The only downside is theyre not compatible with the 200's "bulb out detection" circuit.. so my blinkers blink-fast right now.. Later this week ill get a load resistor installed for the rear end.

Enjoy

Tail lights only, LEDs on right side, stock bulbs on left.

Tails and blinkers on. The biggest difference.. LEDs on the right side, stock bulbs on the left.

And a video showing how sharp and clear the LED's are when the hazards/turns are on

Cool! I love how sharp the on/off is. I might have to do this myself.

Don't do a load resistor unless you really want the bulb warning to work (that ruins one point of having LED), convert to a solid state flasher. I imagine there's gotta be an automotive option by now, it's super common for motorcycles.

Installed some load resistors by tapping into the connector with a 180 degree spade connector.. temporary, but effective.. and i have working blinkers! :)

You have a clean 200. I wish I had a trunk liner like the one you have. I almost had one but I was too late. The L.E.D.'s in the back look good. I like how fast and crisp they light up and turn off. Much better and good mod.

Well no news is good news (no posts are good posts)

Front brakes seemed really low and noisy lately. Ordered a set from AutoHaus and got them today.

I am now a member of the UFO fan club.

Was able to replace the pads in the front without even removing the caliper.. Was a simple and extremely quick job. Kudos to Audi on a good design.

While I was in there I scrubbed the fender walls and made everything nice and clean.

Rotated the tires as well.

That is all
