boost

Just done a little search on this problem but couldnt find anything really to solve my problem. when i first got my car Nov 2008 the Boost guage would move smoothly up and back down through boosting but just lately it seems to be sticking at peak of boost and the pin coming back down like in...

How do u know if you have boost Leak?

Ok so i have a stage 1 LCR with defi guages so im fairly confident they arent lying to me, but ever since getting my car back from the crash repair yard, the boosting on my car is slightly worrying.... Stage 1 custom code should spike at 1.5 bar and hold 1.2/1.3 bar through the rev...

Hey All, My Nomand boost guage has starting acting erratic since the recent cold snap with bad readings and sometimes it doesn't even go into positive boost.So today i had an hour free and decided to investigate, checked all the hoses in the bay and checked/serviced my 007p DV.It was still...

I want to install a boost gauge on the Cupra but instead of showing it off I want to hide it in either the ashtray (if possible) or the glovebox... Anyone done this? It's a sleeper hence why want it hidden away. ;)

Got a TDI ibiza with big turbo etc and i keep blowing boost hoses. I've got the forge kit for a FMIC but i want to replace all the other pipes with silicone ones as the joins on the standard stuff are crap. So does anybody make a full kit for my car? If not ill just measure it up and buy all...

Started last week when i was driving home from work, my car boosts at 21psi but now and then it will just boost to 15psi and it will feel a bit sluggish, seems to happen when the car has really warmed up?? The dv sounds louder as well as the spool up noise?? Did a boost leak test on the...

Heres the problem - When i start the car in the morning and drive to work the car will only boost to around 8psi.if i turn the engine off and start it again the car will boost to 22psi.The only trend I found recently was that the temperature sempt to be below zero when it would only boost to...

Hi all.I want to fit a boost gauge into my lcr,so i was just wondering where are people fitting them,as i dont fancy taking a heater vent out,or any dash surgery! Also,where is the best place to run the vacuum pipe into the car,as i cant really see an easy route into the car from the engine bay??

Hi all, I did a log of my maf and turbo boost this morning (4th gear). I have always suspected that my car has been re-mapped and looking at the actual boost it seems that i am correct. Can anyone confirm this. Sorry if i have pasted it in wrong. cheers rob...

Got my boost gauge and pillar delivered and tried to fit it today, i have managed to get the pipe from the engine bay into my glovebox but have no idea how the hell im supposed to get it to the other side of the car :confused: . I have searched all over is there a simple idiots guide to fitting...

Hi there, Just got my forge mbc this morning and I'd like to know the best way of fitting it as they give no instructions ? Do I remove the pipework from the n75 or do I use it in conjunction with the boost controller ? What pipes do I plumb each part of the controller in to ? Thanks...

I can't believe I haven't seen anyone talking about this on here so correct me if I've missed it. This DIY boost controller seems like a nice easy way to get a bit of extra power from a standard TDi. http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=103279 Where's the catch?

OK, as many will know, the inlet/boost pipe fittings used on the VAG TDIs are prone to popping apart. If the two small retaining lugs on the end of the pipe get worn or damaged, it's often a downhill slope - once it's happened, it's quite likely to happen again. Each time the joint comes apart...
