For the last 4 months i've been hitting only 18psi max. When i ran logs the requested psi was 22 and actual was 18. N75 value was at 96% the entire way. I tested the PCV system by removing the dipstick at idle and the car ran exactly the same. I then removed the oil cap at idle and again the car...

I recently installed a catch can on my GTI and my car runs like crap with the CC installed. During troubleshooting I decided to just run the Africa plate directly into the port on the back of my intake pipe. The car ran like a monster with this setup, best i've ever felt it run. Would it be at...

I ran logs for the first time today. Unfortunately, I don't have Excel on my computer, I only have Works Spreadsheet. I didn't run a graph, but the numbers are shown below. I see that my car is no where near the requested boost at low RPM's and again from 4400rpm's-6400rpm's. I am, however...

Hey all, I've been trying to resolve my boost and vac (in.hg) numbers for a little while now. Today i decided to take my dash apart and check out the gauge itself. I think this is a mechanical gauge, the older AWE style, but i'm not 100% sure of the mechanical part. My question is, what is...

I've always heard that the TSI engine, and GTI's in general, are around 18 in.hg on a boost gauge when just sitting at idle. My car never goes below 15-16... is that abnormal or any sort of sign of a boost leak? Thanks in advance.

Yesterday I had my factory radio replaced with a Kenwood DDX419 in-dash unit. Right off the bat I could tell that the sound clarity and quality was greatly improved. The factory speakers sounded like they really came to life!! I was able to have all my steering wheel controls hooked up to work...

Anyone have any idea what part this is? My car just crapped out on me and I'm getting a really loud vac/sucking noise coming from this part. ANY help would be appreciated. Intake manifold flapper??

I went to tires international yesterday in Manchester to get my snow tires finally put on (and today it's 50 degrees... go figure). anyway, when i picked the car up i went to inspect my wheels and noticed that 3 out of the 4 were damaged. After speaking with the manager and the kid that...

Anyone ever been to Rabe Motorsports in Wallingford, CT? They're the closest Unitronic dealer... just wondering how the customer service was. Thanks.

Can anyone let me know what kind of PSI they are seeing with the GIAC stage 2 tune? I have an MK5 but a TSI engine and i have the stage 2 tune but am only seeing 18psi spike and about 15-16psi hold, dropping to about 10psi after 5500rpm. Car feels fine, but i really have nothing to compare it...
