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.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

      I moved around the silcone hose going from the boost gauge to the T piece and got it to read -18. Maybe I might have to expand the hole on the passenger side where i feed the hose through.

      All I did was clean the maf plus put injector cleaner in and fixed that brake booster line with silcone tape. But just odd after unplugging the n75 2x its hitting 23psi always now. But couldn't get past 18psi before.

      I ordered new ngk plugs A new maf and a new n75 valve they should arrive this week.
      I Just can't wait for the smoke machine to arrive so I can go over it all. But next week I'll take it for live logging and want to do a power run on a dyno

        Just occurred to me that it could also be the diverter valve itself. To test it remove it from the car with the vacuum line hose still attached. Push the plunger up (its spring loaded) while sucking on the vacuum line. When you release your finger, the plunger should stay put/float on the vacuum you are holding on the top side of the DV with the line that's in your mouth. If the plunger slams shut then the DV diaphragm is torn and it'll be bleeding off boost, maybe intermittently.

          This is my 3rd dv in past 2 months the stock one broke open and then upgraded to a audi tt one & that blew up in a week and now have a 3 spring setting metal dv I've put the yellow spring in that's meant to hold 25psi and the red spring holds 15 to 20psi and the silver spring is for stock.. it did come with 2 metal spacers and unsure how that works anyway but put them on there and screwed it back togther.

          Just changed the spark plugs to one step colder plugs and its sitting at -20 now
          Plus my boost gauge I'm only getting 18psi all day today

            You know you need to have it loaded up, a boot in 2nd wont show the same pressure as a drag uphill in 4th.
            A 3rd gear log from 1500 revs is what is needed as a test

                I doubt you will find a drama with the N75. In my experience, they work or not, nowhere in between.

                  Good luck!
