I don't have any but clarification might be helpful. Are you looking for dampers or adjustable platform springs?

I believe kits like this are more popular on these than replacing the damper as well.

Yeah, it was a case of thinking if I'm having the oil leak done, I may as well put bigger turbos on but realistically, I'm probably looking at an additional £8k for another 200-ish hp.

Thanks Jim, much appreciated. Zex, they said the main reason is that the heat can cause the pistons to swell and destroy the bores but also as they age they're seeing more broken components in the drive train. Probably a blessing in disguise as it would add £3k to the labour bill, plus however many ...

Thanks Jim Should be selling another car shortly, maybe now is the time the engine finally comes out of the RS. If that happens though, there's no way it's going back in with standard turbo's. Edit - Just spoke to Unit 20 and they don't recommend putting bigger turbos on anymore. They think low to m...

Hi All As those who've read my 1st gear power cut thread know, I've been experiencing an overboost condition in 1st. I don't believe it's the DVs as I don't see how that could be the cause (I would expect a boost leak or spike when throttle is shut if they were faulty) and have replaced all three MA...

Been busy but came back to this. Did what I try not to do and just threw some parts at it. Changed all 3 map sensors with OE/OEM Bosch units bit still have the issue. It's only in 1st. Above that seems fine.

Are there any boost related adaptations I can run or reset in VCDS?

MRC said mine made 730bhp/1000nm with panel filters, secondary decat and a Milltek cat back. I can't compare stock sound as I haven't heard one but I like how mine is.

Cool, thanks for that. I'll have to mull it over.

Thanks for the analysis. I figured some might be duplicates but I just ticked everything related to boost. Any idea why this would have only started a couple years after getting the car and only in first? It also seems both sides are overboosting? Difficult to imagine both N75 valves going wonky sim...

Okay, did two runs, both triggered boost cut in first. Log attached. Anyone able to make any sense of it?

Cool, thanks. The only two codes were the overboost on both sensors in the charge pipes. It's definitely not a boost leak, you can hear the ignition cutting.

I'll try get it out for a logging session tomorrow.

Thanks Ian, what's the likelyhood that's causing the issue? I would have thought the DVs are only supposed to open when the throttle snaps shut, rather than being a method of boost control under load?

I need to get out in it this week and see what boost it's recording.

No, I'll look that up and see what it's doing. Thanks.

Are the DV valves just a spring or do they get a reference from after the throttle too? Regardless, If they are opening under throttle, I'd consider that a failure of the boost control system that needs fixing.

Unfortunately, no joy. Haven't put the laptop on it but it has the same symptoms. Any other potential causes? Do I need to replace the sensors next?

I'm imagining it's not likely to be a mechanical issue, as it only happens in 1st?

I can't answer your question but I would suggest searching around to see if there's anyone who can rebuild the existing ones. It's likely that there's someone who will be able to
