I am having problems with my n75 valve on my 04 Leon Cupra. Instead of just replacing it, I am after a uprated one. Can anyone recommend any good ones and any good websites to get them off?
why not bypass it?
The N75 is a solenoid-driven pneumatic valve and is spectacularly unlikely to get dirty internally or externally.
It is connected by narrow pipes to the air cleaner (for a supply of clean air at atmospheric pressure) and the outlet of the turbocharger impeller section (for a supply of air at high pressure). The N75 valve switches between these two supplies to generate an output pressure somewhere between the two which is fed to the wastegate actuator to control the boost pressure.
There is no electronics inside the valve, only a solenoid, a small electromagnet. I'm not sure, but I think the only difference between the three or four various N75's is spring strength.
The ECU is calibrated to work with the stock N75, so trying to fool it by putting in a different one is likely to lead to unpredictable results. A good quality remap is a much better way to go, as all the engines operating parameters can be changed to provide a properly controlled tune-up without hiccups or surprises.
Glynnd: only the TDI's have VNT turbochargers, the petrol engines (and the older TDI 90's) have wastegate turbos.
I'm not quite sure why this is. The petrol engines power curves usually show fairly flat torque values from quite low rpm, so I suspect that the torque is restricted by the limits of the engine internals, and sophisticated methods to improve boost at low rpm aren't needed.
Thought the bioost control valve on the 1.8t was called n249?
Am I going mad mutley!
