    Boost lower than usual

    My s3 has been mapped to run 24psi boost on hybrid and recently it decided to only boost to around 18psi.. Big drop in performance. Still pulls bit not like before, car showing no signs other than lack of boost displayed on gauge and noticeably slower. Scanned the car last night, 4 codes in...

    Downpipe flange warped

    Anyone heard of this happening? On my s3, downpipe doesn't sit flush on the face of my turbo. First thought it was gasket so swapped for new one but exhaust blow still remained and on visual inspection it doesn't look like the two mating surface sit flush together, looks like small gap.

    Boost pressure

    Got mapping at the end of the month at badger 5. Read in other thread about B5 implementing different boost settings on switchable maps which sounds very cool. So what Im thinking about is the limitations of the bbt ko4 hybrid in terms of boost levels. What boost can this baby turbo take...

    Airbag light

    Can't get this b@stard light to go away! I have in the past wired in a resister and cleared the code and light has disappeared.. But since I removed all the seat belts including all the tensioner igniters the light appeared again and now refuses to go. I have connected resistors to four...

    Epc light

    The delights of owning a 17 year hatchback strikes again! Twice I've had the epc light appear on my dash.. Both times it happened while giving it some death (full throttle) and both times I lost all power but power was restored after switching the engine off and bk on.. These are the only...

    My 3inch down pipe is wedged up against my prop shaft on my s3, spoke to a custom exhaust guy today who quoted 450 quid to fix it and that's utilising the flange on my China DP! No thx It's hitting at the Braided flex of the downpipe and I've already tried raising the engine using washers under...

    Comp housing clearance

    My ko4 turbo comp housing outlet is touching China fold... I shaved a bit off the manifold and clearance is about a fag paper... How close can these sit together.. I could open it up to 1mm I reckon... Anyone have any idea how close these can sit together?

    Clutch

    My new clutch is on the right and old on the left. When I removed the packaging I thought they had sent me the wrong one as the design looks entirely different.. Old clutch plate is heavier and just feels more robust where as new one (LUK) gives me the impression it's not very heavy duty. What's...
