I had this mod done and I got a fault code so went bk to running the n249 much better imo

lol cheers barry although with me having fitted 2 t-pieces it gave me bit of a concern over two more places where you could get  a boost leak  i reverted back to the standard set up i only did it initially to alleviate the common problem of the 'hesitancey' at 2-3000rpm and then it goes but tbh as soon as nick but the gen 3 map onto the car that hesitancey was gone  so didn't need to do that really

lol i got an excessive boost fault  so reverted to standard set up like you say some get a fault and some don't jonnys didnt iirc tho i believe also that the vacuum unit on the cam cover has something to do with all the set up of pipes etc its linked to the asr/tc system to kick it in quicker so to speak when i removed mine the system didnt kick in so quick

Nuh thats not how i have done mine.  By doing it that way the N249 is still in the vacuum loop for the DV from what i can see unless you have altered the other end of the hard pipe that your top T piece is connected to (the one where the reservoir used to be).  That DV would now be operated by the FPR line but the N249 is still seeing what is going on. This could be why you had an overboosting code come up.

I dont have vag-com so i cant say if mine is bringing up faults or not but from first impressions i am impressed. When i let off the throttle i seem to have a much bigger dump of air instantly rather than a smooth dump of air. (must have been where the N249 was opening the DV)

I will take some pictures and make a quick guide on how i did it when i go outside in a bit.
