only had it on the rollers once (JKM rolling road day) since i had it mapped in January.  Custom Code qoute 170bhp and 280lbs ft torque - the torque i reached but not until 2600rpm

i've done 4 full throttle runs in 4th and noticed that at 1700rpm my MAF and intake pressure are well below the specs yet from then on i pull over and above what the ECU is requesting
 :undecided:

its awkward getting someone to look at it as there aren't any decent tuners / VW garages near me and the nearest CC agent is 80 miles away!

....JKM are about 90 miles away from me but I have lots of free time. It just needs someone who knows what to look for and how to fix it - Easier said than done!

It would be good to see RED back to full strength to show the overweight and less-agile R32 boys a thing or two at Weston next weekend?  :grin: :grin:

....I won't be at JKM until Friday (the day before Weston), so I think I'll have to cancel :sad: - I'll contact them and explain my situation.

....Same here, but you need to watch that your turbo isn't overstressed.

Robin,

Tell Jim to take the boost gauge piping off at the Forge 3 port sender thingy..then do a run.

Just to rule out a leak in the boost pipe routing anyway.

Good luck and hope u find the leak.

Would you be able to tell you had a boost leak from the VAG-COM? I'm thinking of getting one and it would be another reason to go ahead if I could check fault codes for things like this, as I have spent time and money getting my car into in current state of tune and don't want it slowly loosing power through soemthing like this.

im pretty sure you can test boost on Vag com and therefore spot a problem if there is one
