Picked up a used 2016 Passat SE TSI a little while back and the brakes are way too sensitive, more so when going slow like trying to pull into a parking spot or the garage. It's very touch going very slow, and I have to basically take my foot completely off the brake peddle before it will...

I noticed that when I floor it that I get this weird flutter in power. It's like hitting a rev-limiter or cutting out like feeling in power. Not jerky but noticable about every half-second or so. No codes at all. I hooked up VCDS and it shows the Specified boost as a straight line and the Actual...

Hey so recently after I have been when I'm having some fun with my car the boost in the upper rpm range (starting around 4800k to 5000k rpm) starts to fall. I'm currently APR stage 1. I hold at around 16psi but it tapers of to 7psi in the upper rpm range I also noticed my car would do the same...

I just replaced my seized ko3 with a ko4 as a first step to what I'm sure will be a long line of modifications to my 01'. First thing I noticed was the intermittent boosting I was experiencing. If I eased into the throttle it will be fine until I hit about 2500-3000 rpms then it start bucking...

1.8T AEB Boosting only 0.3 bar- PROBLEM SOLVED! So i bought boost gauge today. Installed it and went for test drive. Seems like at 1-st gear i dont get any boost... It only shows -4 vacum. 2nd gear i get 0.2 bar of boost and 3th, 4th, 5th i get 0.3 bar. Im really confused now. Could it be...

I recently chipped my ecu with apr. I was told the chip gives you smooth power through the rpms but its been anything but smooth. When driving normal with about half throttle the boost seems fine but when i go WOT it stumbles from about 3k to redline. Its like it pulls hard then stumbles real...

Hello all!! I've been out of the scene for a while since I've been training and getting ready to leave Germany, but i'm having a problem that I can't seem to figure out. I have a 2000 b5 ATW 1.8t, Apparently I don't have an ICM and trust me I've looked! For a little while I was having a...

Alright so i noticed today that my car is not making any boost. Normally it reads right around 14-16 psi and now it wont go over 4 psi. Now i have had trouble before with the car going into limp mode, but that was because of the car spiking at 19-20 psi. And normally when it would go into...

So I noticed that my car is feeling a little laggy lately. I tried upping the EBC duty cycle to 80% up from 75% to see what would happen. Absolutely no change, in fact there's no change from 65% DC to 85% DC. It just peaks at 19-20 PSI. So I pressure tested the system at 20 PSI, and there were...

just serviced the car, and its not boosting normally.. only doin max 10psi! usally 20psi with my k04. if there was a boost leak would it still boost 10psi? or could i have accidentaly bumped my MBC down? very weird:thumbdown

so i just bought a 98 passat and it seemed like the power lacked so i hooked up a boost gauge and im only boosting 2 psi thought the gauge was broken so hooked up a second one so and still 2 psi checked out the turbo and there is no shaft play and i can hear a slight humming coming from the...

Hey guys....... so I installed my boost guage and took the black beast out on a back street to test! :driving:It has come to my attention that I am only boosting 5lb!! For some reason I thought these cars ran any where from 7-10lb stock. I was just wanting to make sure 5lb is normal for a stock...

My '98 GLS 1.8t 5spd just hit 100k a few weeks back, and money is tight. I'm moving to a new place 30 highway miles away from my work. I need to keep it running, while trying to get all I can out of a tank of gas. So far, the 'ol VW runs great :D I have installed: all new rotors and pads, a...

So I've had some problems lately with my recent addition of the 91 oct. APR chip. They call it a stage II just because I have an exhuast and the chip comes with a test pipe file. I've finally gotten everything working except for a little random misfire that I am fixing with a new coil. But my...
