RE: Boost Gauge v Actual Boost

Boost line feed is from back of the engine - cant remember exactly t pieced into a small pipe. MAF / 710n / bi pipe & f hose all replaced less than 6 months ago

Oh, & VAGCOM showed no faults ? What are the blocks to log for MAF & boost?

Boost Gauge v Actual Boost

I have a boost gauge fitted as per the AW giude, it reads 17 psi boost when at WOT but lately I dont think the car is boosting properly, no rush of torque etc.
Could I have a boost leak and still show all Ok on the gauge?

Cheers

Anyway to reset without vag com?

Well after getting the car fixed a couple of weeks ago, the turbos have tripped out again, on investigation today i found a pipe which didnt look to be sealed properly.

RE: Boost Leak fixed, Star RR results posted

Wheel figure is 225 bhp with drag output at 88 bhp Zero, MAF is 2 weeks old , so I would hope that is unlikely - maybe I am reading the log thing wrong but thats the highest number on it (G70) Ooops, Just seen a 244 below it. I thought 208-220 was the reading for a std car. Mods are Miltech single e...

RE: Boost Leak fixed, Star RR results posted

It will prob go down a bit with more miles to average over ( and a lot of the 45 was motorway at 70+ish :shock: :twisted: ), but I was getting 27 even with the boost leak.
