I just got back the next sample from my Golf R. This car is set up with an APR Stage III kit with runner flaps deleted and an additional low pressure fuel system upgrade. This setup is supposed to be good for ~450hp at the crank. Still not looking terribly awesome, but iron is tracking closer to where my FSI engined GTI eventually settled. I'm not loving that blip on the lead. It's otherwise as it was last interval. I replaced it with RedLine 0w-40 this time.

Blackstone's comments were:
MATT: There's a little fuel in this sample (again), the viscosity is a little low (again) and iron is just a bit elevated compared to averages (again). It's not that we love the word "again" it's just that we're kind of glad to see that the status quo isn't changing much from sample to sample. Maybe less fuel, iron, and a normal viscosity reading would be nice, but with nothing changing significantly from sample to sample it's hard to complain too much. Iron did improve just a little, so we didn't mark it. Overall, no real changes here, and that's okay because nothing needs changing
