Hello guys, as the titles says i'm a bit unsure to what my turbo is meant to be performing like.
Ive had my s3 for around 4 months now and ever since ive driven it i thought it was quite sluggish i assumed that was down to the weight of the car. Ive installed a boost gauge to try and figure out what was going on but i am still unsure.
the turbo kicks in around 2.5-3k revs at about 5k rpm the boost is at 0.4bar/ 6psi and when i hit the top end it raises to 0.7bar/11psi but the climb seems slow these readings are in 3rd gear in 2nd they are even lower.
my question is does this sound correct or is the boost supposed to be 11psi when the pedal and inlet are fully open?
thanks for any replies
