Correct, but I'm trying to offer some test options that may help diagnose this issue hence am interested to see if the g/s will drop with less boost or is it strangled for some other reason.

Also the new Maf you mentioned, is it genuine Bosch or OEM ( not an ebay clone!) , and 100% known to be the correct part number?

with a wastegate shut, and held shut, do you think a k03s is capable of flowing a sustained 1.4bar past 6krpm? Its not what they typically manage, is why I ask... the airflows k03s levels, but the reported held boost is very high, and in hybrid territory (which are k04's inside but with RS6 turbines), yet the flow does not match.

It shouts to me of some flow restriction..
the duty cycles max'ing at 4750rpm also is mighty odd
 
Bill, what things would cause high IDC's that early on in the rev range appart from increased airflow.. (obviously not the case for me)

knackered fuel pump?

I have some LCR injectors at home also.. will they overfuel the car too much to pull back using lemmiwinks? and will I need to fit them in conjuntion with a 80mm maf housing aswell?

Sure, you are probably right but I dont have much experience around k03's with clamped wastegates to comment on if they could make that kind of boost or not.
We try not to have cars with clamped wastegates! :D

We 95% see K04's and Big Turbo's, with an unusual problem like this going through the obvious to eliminate them is were I'm coming from.

Just trying to offer alternatives to the difference between the boost pressure (it shouldnt be able to make) and the Air mass meter readings that dont match.

the map is determining the duty cycle.......
have you fitted a wideband yet to see what afr's its actually doing?

I know where you are coming from..
the figures dont make sense for what its doing (if) its a k03s, pumping without restriction

Fitted my 4 bar fuel pump today and car feels alot better.. but no real difference in g/s :( it did let me add 3deg extra timing and this was the best I got... may of been suffering from a fare bit of heatsoak done quite a few logs before..
 
Have you got a spare MAF you can try to be sure? Another thing to check would be the TIP, MAF would read low g/s if the air was getting in somewhere after the MAF i.e. if the TIP wasn't securely on the turbo...

Good idea about the tip ill have to have a propper check at the weekend.

Nope havent got a spare MAF either.. its not very old and an original bosch one.

Defo worth a check on the TIP front. It is a possibility that the MAF is faulty though, you could buy another from Euro's or something as a "test item" pop it on there, see what it reads and then take it back saying you don't need it..

will the deffinately take it back do you know? obv I wont tell them I used it
 
I think im going to give up on this setup.. I cant bring myself to spend any more money on it.. Im slowly collecting the parts to go K04
 
are you not interested to see how the bager 5 hybrid plus does same power output as a k04hybrid setup.....

hmm yea but its not gunna cost me too much to go k04 as I already have some of the bits.. and should get 270-280 set up right, which will keep me happy for a while and then I was gunna save for the rods and diff and then eventually go hybrid..

It would be alot more financially viable for me rather doing it all in one big hit.
 
fair play im just in a half way house.
i did also think about the k04 setup you will need to remap tho different exhuast mani the lot i dunno lol
 
yeah i was gunna use a S3 stage 2 map for start and then a custom map for the hybrid.. I was gunna buy a new downpipe anyways so no difference there so all I really need now is manifold turbo & oil and coolant line and a badger5 3" tip.

Im also getting a bigger cooler.
