    EGR Delete 2.0TDI - low end pull seems to be gone, turbo takes long time to spool up

    I fitted an EGR delete after it was erroring and now my car has a real turbo lag feel to it, the turbo doesn't seem to spool until after maybe 2.5k revs, it then carries on to pull like it should. Will this be to do with the variable vanes valve? I made sure that the delete pipe is making a good...

    I came across this issue with my A3, you can turn the heaters up all the way and its still just cold, the AC will make things even colder, but cant get hot air. Ive felt all of the hoses and they all get hot when the temp needle is up to 90, so the thermostat is opening and sending flow...
