    A3 quattro running "326bhp" help

    Cheers tuffty I was meaning to update this. Since clearing the code the boost gauge has been fine and it's back to feeling like it was. Thankfully it was a cost free fix.

    A3 quattro running "326bhp" help

    Right wee update on this. I assume that this fault is linked with the n75 valve? And if not what is it? The other diag machine wouldn't show me this 1. If indeed it was active.

    Yeah the n75 is all plumbed in properly. Doesn't matter if I unplug it it still boosts to 1.2 bar. Before it was starting to hit full boost by 3.5k now it's closer to 4.5k if I use part throttle it seems to build boost better than going WOT. The 2 really thin nipples underneath the manifold...

    A3 quattro running "326bhp" help

    Is that part of the n249 system? There is a plug I found behind the header tank that has a resistor in it. As that has been removed. The only things I have connected to the inlet are the F.P.R. The boost gauge and the diverted valve which I have connected on the port above the throttle body. I...

    A3 quattro running "326bhp" help

    So this is what my gauge is showing at idle once the car is up to temperature. I don't have access to vcds though. The only code that keeps popping up is a tank ventilation valve fault. Any ideas on where to look, to try and get the car running properly again?

    A3 quattro running "326bhp" help

    The boost gauge is connected to 1 of the nipples underneath the inlet. It has only started causing issues since I removed the actuator and split it apart and regreased everything. Only other part I have had off is the charge pipe.

    A3 quattro running "326bhp" help

    Cheers badger. So could it be that the actuator is leaking? As that's the only thing I have touched since the issues. The car idles fine and no hunting. I was thinking if its my actual boost gauge now that's faulty. As once the car has properly warmed up the boost gauge keeps rising even on idle...

    Wee update here. Overboosting issue is now sorted. The actuator was sticking so removed it, cleaned it up and regreased everything put it all back together. The car still doesn't feel right. Seems to be taking a while to build boost now. Before it was pulling quite hard from 3000rpm now it's...

    A3 quattro running "326bhp" help

    So my troubles spring again. Not long after finally sorting my manifold issue. The car today has decided it's going to start overboosting. I have disconnected the n75 electronically but it's still overboosting. So I'm assuming it's going to be an issue with the actuator which is a forge item or...

    A3 quattro running "326bhp" help

    So as my continued good luck with my car. The manifold crack a few weeks ago. Right round the collector flange. I have now fitted a new manifold. A different 1 this time. Now I have 2 questions.... the 2nd 1 is A bit noobish I apologise. 1. Can I move the upstream lambda sensor to where the...

    So just got the box out of the car and the clutch disc has popped a spring. Back on to cg motorsport again tomorrow. Not bad for 2000 miles.

    Ok thanks. Just find it a a bit strange that it has only just started happening. I will get in contact with cg motorsport and see what they say about it. Cheers.

    A3 quattro running "326bhp" help

    So another wee update to this. Something I have just noticed last night. Hopefully someone can help with. When I have the clutch pedal fully depressed in gear when stationary I am getting a judder through the car. Almost like the gear is not engaging properly. It's also difficult sometimes...

    A3 quattro running "326bhp" help

    Sorry for the length of time it's taken me to update this. So I have finally got the audi sorted. Went down to see phil @ TRP performance in Walsall to get the car remapped. After speaking to rick at r-tech that's who he recom6mended me to go to after informing me they no longer do the 1.8ts...

    A3 quattro running "326bhp" help

    Well update time I have managed to get the car finished. Had it running on Saturday. Although my oil level sensor light comes on when the car is revved I may have the 2 3 pin plugs mixed up the one that goes on to the back of the gearbox. Also I have a slight oil leak which looks to me like it's...

    Yeah I'm guessing that's why he did it. Who knows unless he did purely for his choice of aesthetics. Think tinfoil would of been a better choice lol. Gold isn't really my colour but it don't really bother me tbh. Catches the eye when u open the bonnet. Ohh shiney bits. Ahh wait it's cheap eBay...

    A3 quattro running "326bhp" help

    It was done by the previous owner. I assume it's to try and help reduce engine bay temps. Don't know how effective it would be though. it doesn't bother me much that I feel the need to remove it. Hoping to have it running again by the weekend.

    So last night's progress was sorting the last couple of bits of wiring for the sensors. Getting the boost pipes on and aligned correct and radiator panel and intercooler now fitted. Aside from the battery think everything is now done up top.
