Yep dave i know the feeling too, ur running standard low boost mode and all of a sudden u need that extra boost setting to blow some pedal happy psycho in to the dust, and u think DAMN !! why cant i just leave it in high boost all the time ?? !! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/fuck_you.gif

 

[G-S3]

Why dont you leave it in high boos all the time then?

 

[Mo-S3]

For narmal driving i dont think its good practice, more suited for track days i think. Im not too sure about this area, no doubt someone will be along to correct and clarify.

For normal driving, i would say high boost is pointles and just putting more astrain on the components... so it probably best to stick to low boost.

Okay maybe I am being a numpty, but isn't "high boost" the equivilent of a "chipped" car?

If so, why not run chipped all the time?

 

[RichA3Turbo]

On revo u had stock, low and high settings...

[G-S3]

Stick it on high. worry about it later and have fun ;-)

Yeah, so stock just in case, low for valet etc., and high for chipped.

But why not run in high/chipped mode all the time?

Stock = Standard mode ie when car goes to Audi
Low mode = Relible 265Bhp Little risk
High setting = Can put strain on engine if ran all the time

Think that answer's your question but maybe not lol /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif

Ahhhhh i c - I was comparing "low mode" to "valet mode" on the APR remap!

Doh!

I'm running high boost 9, timing 7 permanently now. I'll let you all know when the turbo blows.

It delivers 282 lbs.ft torque, and circa 275 bhp.

I met a guy on holiday who works at Silverstone on the S3s there. Said they had a big problem with the turbos - many had to be be replaced.
