#8519, "more load on the car - less boost? WTF" May-22-05 01:32 PM by BumpinTalon
alright, my buddy went to the track and did a couple runs, best he could manage was a 15.6, which is what it did before a whole bunch of mods. He said it feels way down on power, almost stock, I can vouch for that since on the ride home it pulled nowhere near as hard as it used to. he said it usually boosts around 14psi. lookin at the (aftermarket) boost gauge, it boosted less and less in every successive gear (13ish in 1st, 12ish in second, 10ish in third). going up a steep hill it boosted only 10psi through the first three guys, but on a slight downhill it got to 14psi again. this is on a 1G TSi AWD with 3" turbo back exhaust, all the free mods, and a few other things I can't recall off the top of my head. I'm thinkin its a leak or something, but I don't drive a 1G TSi AWD. any ideas?
