On a road trip into BC, Canada right now, camping around different places and sometimes my phone doesn't have good signal. I've got a good assortment of hand tools with me, but left the laptop with the Bentley manual PDF's, VCDS-Lite and the KKL cable at home in Portland to have one less thing...

Yesterday while driving I stopped at a light and when it changed I go to give my car gas and i’m Getting no boost, tried clearing codes, I switched from my apt 93 file to my stock one checking if it was the tune: had no luck with any of those. Car runs and drives but I have no boost or decent...

Hey just wondering what is the normal bar reading for boost on the 2.0 tsi? Going to run a live and don’t know what number I should be looking for... problem is everything keeps blowing off. First it was the exhaust pipe running to the turbo, then the breather hose, I blew through two pcv’s...

Looking to possibly get the setup where these two gauges are either above the steering wheel just below the factory cluster, or I've also seen them on the left pillar. Just curious if anyone knows where to get these setups, and if or why one is better than the other as far as visual...

Hi I have a 2004 VW Passat 1.8T GLS with a stumble misfire when warmed up from a cold start. Under boost the engine would cut out on all cylinders when the gas pedal is pressed down at a certain point. I have a crack in the exhaust flex pipe before the catalytic converter I thought the down...

I recently got VCDS and have been doing some logging. Just trying to hunt down a part throttle bucking/hesitation issue I've been struggling with. I want to say that I'm not sure if my numbers are worth looking into or not because I can't really do a WOT run to redline right now because the...

Hey everybody, I found out that my 2005 Passat isn't getting boost because of a clogged cat. A mechanic quoted me $780 to replace it, but when I said that might be too much, he told me I could also just put in a delete pipe. He said he wouldn't do it because he could get in a lot of trouble...

Hi everyone, So I installed the boost gauge (not completed it) on my AEB 1.8t, 98 model. I wonder if the boost reading indicates a healthy turbo boost. Below is the link. I recorded it in the parking lot but while driving the needle barely moves to 4 (above 0 ) when I floor the throttle...

I'm trying to find if I have a boost leak. I just did a few pulls with VCDS running and the charts seem off. I'm looking a block 115 to be specific and my "specified" and "actual" boost levels peaked at 1600mbar and 1980mbar (23.2psi and 28.7psi). I thought the little K03 can only do about...
