Well as some of you were aware i'v basically had an issue where my boosts been hitting 5psi only
and comes and goes ok one minute and then another back down to 5psi again
so i needed to get to the bottom of this and get it boosting as it should so thursday i got it booked in and yesterday i made a trip down to the midlands car hit requested boost 5 miles into my journey then before getting on the A1 it was 5psi again stopped for some v power and got going cars boosting again
all the way down okay so once there chris & ben give it a check for anything obvious etc bit of a chat and then some more searching chris found alot of movement on my forge tip
and investigated further under the car as he had an idea also a check on vag-com and lo and behold the 17705 had returned
basically chris wasn't happy (neither have i been since fitting
)with how the tip was sat and underneath became clear it was a little twisted on the inlet stub of the t/c so him and ben pulled it off and both re-aligned it and gave it a good tighten up as chris said he got it to go tighter before re-alignment had a look at the charge hose to pancakepipe that i fitted about 3 weeks ago and it was bone dry
and well clipped in even pulling down heavy on it! so a run on the rollers then and i sat in with ben as to do some logging for chris what a feeling my golf beeing run in 4th up to nearly 7k (didnt look at speedo)
for the power runs etc once done chris in detail explained virtually everything that was logged
everything performed as it should no issues!! even the std smic is up to the job at the minute car boosted okay
Well the result is im producing
200bhp @ wheels and overall the car made
225-230bhp & 260lb/ft torqueneedless to say i was well happy!!
even better chris and me went for a run nice n damp esp/asr off
couldn't get it into limp mode and its now hitting 20/21psi holds n drops as it should fook me does it pull and feel strong!! so hopefully cars as it should be big thanks to both the lads for yesterday i had a good time and learnt alot too oh and best little mod of the day......ben noticed my centre heatshield was missing two of its clips causing it to rattle :embarassed: fixed with two plastic orange juice tops
quality does the job mind
