Hi All.
I've owned my S3 for little over 6months now.It has a custom remap,forge DV and i've recently installed a TIP.The car goes through the first 4 gears pretty rapidly,but in 5th at about 5000rpm it seems to lose boost.This happens in 6th also,feels like it's just revving with no power.The DV still has the standard spring it came with and my peak boost according to VagCom is 1.4bar at about 4000rpm,should i be changing to a yellow spring as suggested on the forge website?For the first time since owning the car i caught a nissan (sr20) on the highway,i thought it would be a walk in the park.Through 2nd to 4th i maintained,but in 5th he leveled up and we tapped.I definitely think the s3 is stronger in 5th and 6th than mine currently is.Any suggestions would be appreciated.
