at a dyno day at awesomegti, there was a golf R, stage 2+ so 360-370hp or whatever they claim, the surge was unreal out of that thing, but the driver, the dyno operators just pushed it without saying a word, i dont think people truely know what it is. The owner prob thinks its a badass noise his wastegate makes lol.
I thought it was awful, i turned to s3dave and was like 'thats bad', so surge is an issue on these as much as our hybrid setups using the same comp wheel.

I frequent the tfsi forums a bit, and ive never once heard egts mentioned, so i guess thats a good sign.
A good sign? or a hint that most tfsi tuners are still clueless
i hope you're right SuperK!
So yes,I think most of us running a lot of boost in the TFSi world are aware of it as a serious potential problem,and the software companies with the most experience(Revo and APR) are as well.
that's good to hear, much like the 8L when it was new and the cars were all low mileage so many people appear to be oblivious to the risks of tuning to such a degree, and in the last few years it's really starting to come back and bite people in the 1.8T circles as these high mileage engines start to fail, and people realise that 10 years down the line they arn't quite as resilient as when they rolled off the line.
What I am sure of is that we can all learn from each other across different engines and the lines, with tuning techniques, hardware setups etc etc, I've been following tfsi stuff much more closely since all this came about
Please also remember that the "boost pressure" we see and measure is pressure inside the inlet manifold that can not be consumed by the engine. If the engine could consume all the volume of air the turbo could make it would read 0.. Pressure is directly proportional to volume and speed, thus an engine running 28psi making the same power as one only showing 21psi might be consuming exactly the same amount of volume of air, but the speed in which is delivered to the engine may be very different.. or the speed the same and the volume different, both will give the same outcome..
23psi out of a k03s is not the same as 23psi out of a K04 or 23psi out of a gt28.. Volume, Speed will all be different but the net pressure will be the same.... The same volume of air with differing speeds will have different pressures.
Off track I know!

Speaking to friends with tuned TFSI cars they just stick to brand named hard wear and go on REVO/APR claimed power figures. Is this where the 1.8t scene was 5/6 years ago?
Bet you cat wait for a drive tomorw Nick!

Looks bang ****ing tidy that does.
Huge hats off to Ginge, Dan and yourself for making it look so good. If it goes half as well as it looks then it's a job well done.
