Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

    Installed my gtb1756vk turbo, 3inch dump and hard pipework kit. took way longer than expected to get the hard pipework kit to fit as i was sent the wrong pipes from d/s in the UK (not going to promote them as the kit is overpriced and they screwed me three times!) Car now makes all the right noises and just needs some logging done to perfect the tune... happy camper

        Installed a NewSouth boost gauge, bit of fiddling around, then when I finished the whole right hand side of the car lost power. Eventually it all turned out ok!



        Not sure if when in idle it's supposed to sit on 20hg, because mine sits on 19hg!

            Good to know I'm not the only one haha I was reading online that it should sit on 20hg, so when I installed it I spent about an hour trying to look for leaks and to make it go to 20hg haha

              Mechanical gauges are almost all bit inaccurate unless you go really high end ones. I have a new south gauge as well but with osir vent pod. It can be up to 4 psi difference at full boost

                  Thanks mate [emoji1]. I will most probably be modifying it a VW cover (properly of course)

                  It touches ever so slightly on the the corner of the pod filter housing. If it were just 1mm smaller it wouldn't touch at all. Perfect fit [emoji108]

                  I'll take a pic of the clearance and shoot it over to you when I get home

                      I've had the same issue with my charge pipe coming off quite frequently.

                          When it happens on a diesel it feels as though you are driving a 1980 gemini diesel lol

                            Mine boosts at 22psi in 4th gear. Then it goes down to 15 and holds there.. does that sound normal? Had some weird stuff happen to the car since I got it installed. Twice I lost all power, it felt like the car went into limp mode. Had no power at all, felt like the turbo wasnt working. Top speed was like 100km/h. Still don't know what the issue was.

                              Yeah mine was reading around the same when I had the k03 sometimes it got to 25psi. Don't exactly know what the correct boost pressure peaks at but it definitely drops off quite significantly

                              When I got the k04 it would go past 30psi sometimes and I know that's wrong because k04 stage 2+ tune is around 22psi.
                              so I ripped it out.

                              I swear I thought I lost a bit of power too, never went into limp mode or completely lost power, just felt not as zippy. thinking the boost gauge lines had a leak or something. Another reason why I ripped it out

                              Are you running an aftermarket diverter valve?
