Hi Everyone,
I have recently picked up quite a good condition S3, which was pretty difficult to find!
It is a 2002 with the BAM, with 113,000 miles on it.
It is completely standard apart from the Airtec Intercooler, and Badger5 TIP which I have just installed.
Basically, the car always has a rough idle from cold until the revs settle. When driving, say you come off a roundabout in 3rd, foot flat, the turbo spools as it should at around 2.5k, then when it hits peak, it drops off, then comes back in even stronger at about 4.5 - 5k. I'm sure it could be a whole host of different things, but maybe someone has had / or knows of a similar situation and what solved it.
I've had numerous cars in the past and I'd say the car feels like it has about 190hp, not 225! BUt as I said when the turbo kicks in for the second time higher up the revs, it feels as fast as I think it should, but it doesn't give me it from the start...
Thanks in advance.
Matt
