Boost controller with a chipped car?

[Redliner]

I was reading through a VWVortex thread about modding the 1.8T.
VWVortex.com - My Stock turbo tuning guide

What got my interest was the manual dual stage boost controller.
Motorsport Kits

The ability to switch between regular and high boost instantlly via a dasboard or hidden control
would be benificial.

It could make a high boost car easier to drive in city driving plus reduce fuel consumption and
engine wear.

How feasible is this on the Polo 1.8T?
Are there any disadvantages to this setup?


p.s. Lots of interesting tuning info for the 1.8T on the top link.

I assume you are talking about using this with a much bigger turbo? Would be pointless with the stock one.

If you want to reduce fuel consumption, just dont hoon around/drive on boost etc. You control your right foot.

Do you have a boost gauge

Something like that would be good for drag racing, or a bigger turbo where you struggle to get traction in the first few gears

our ECU has more control than the older VAG's, I'd stay with a proper tune personally.

BTW, I have a basic MBC sitting around if you wanted to have a go. Its a fairly cheap but reputable one, ball-bearing / spring design.

Frankenturbo going on soon. Delivery should be early next week. I am just finishing mods off before installing turbo.

Boost gauge going in tomorrow.

It can be setup with limited boost for first and maybe second gear helping traction off the line. Once you break traction it always takes a while to back off, feather the throttle, gain traction then accelerate again.

By a EBoost, there a great setup!
change to different levels of boost in a push of button, controls and holds boost better at higher rpm!
there way more then just a gauge that ups and lowers boost!
i have one going in my car.

i sell these too =)
