Not at the moment, besides Seat put those sensors in for a reason mate.

i totaly agree! Total VAG did mine without asking.. i put it st8 back to how it was!!

i had to w8 4 months for my egt.. god im p***d of with cars at the moment.

yeh they do have an adjustable spring due to the nature of how the DV works.

Im running in full recerc.

Do you understand where im comming from with that boost on both sides of the piston? or am i talking jibber jabber?

 

[D.K]

I think it would have presure on both side's because it recircs the air, although the presuer would be greater on one side than the other, now I'm confused

 

[Skorchio]

No i dont mean that side.. that side wont have boost as its pre turbo.. i mean the top of the DV and the post turbo side!! Small pipe and one of the big pipes.. (not the pipe thats on the TIP)

Well boost flows to the top of the DV (as this is where most people put there boot gauge) and it obviously boosts the other side... so.... presure should be even?

 

[D.K]

Have you taken your boost gauge feed off the D/V ???

 

[Skorchio]

Yup off the top, im going to be moving it soon to pre 249 when i can find my hose!

 

[D.K]

Split-R's dont like it off them mate, I'v got mine off the FPR, might be worth a try

 

[Skorchio]

Oww... I shall do it 2morro. Ill dig out my hose! So just cut in to the hose that goes to the top of my FPR?

Do you have a splitter?

 

[D.K]

Yeah mate I'v got one and never had any problems with it, Mine boosts to 1.7 bar and settles to 1.5 bar and it hold's the boost.

If you pull the pipe off the FPR and put the T peice on it with about 2" of your other pipe going to the FPR you wont have to cut the O/E pipe, so you can put it back if it dont work, I'v got a picture somewhere.

 

[Skorchio]

Nah its ok buddy!! I know exacly what u mean! Good ifea about not cutting the pipe! Ill do it 2morro!!

Did AMD not tell you get get rid of it for a 007?

 

[D.K]

Kenny did say what was I thinking when I got it but it runs fine on mine so I'm happy with it for now, I did notice a big difference when I changed it to full recirc though.

 

[Skorchio]

Ah ok, what map are you running? Stage one or two?

 

[D.K]

AmD own Stage 1 map

 

[Skorchio]

coolio, i shall have a fiddle and let you know how it goes

 

[D.K]

This is where I took the feed for my boost guage

There was also some confusion about which way round the Split-R should be fitted, this how mine was fitted and it's not given any problems.

 

[Skorchio]

Coolio. I disconnected my boost gauge and i think the chatter in went away. Im going to give it a quick test 2morro as let you know!! Going in to Total VAG 2morro so fingures crossed they will have found the problem and ill have all my horses

 

[D.K]

Nice one hope it goes well Nick

 

[Skorchio]

Good new mate i think its all sorted!!! Drove it yesterday and it felt all good, then reset the MPG and managed 40 mpg over 4 miles at 60-70 so looks fully sorted!! Might take it down to AMD to get it dyno'd and get them to run all there diagnostics on it. See if there happy with how its running!!!
