Reply With QuoteDo many people with boost mods run Electronic Boost controllers?
Does a 22psi remap get much boost spike in cold conditions?

From memory my APR'd Polo would spike to 1.4bar.

Not if everthing was in good working order - .2 bar overboost is about it (~ 19psi) If you are making more than that, I would pop in to your tuner & see whats wrong (assuming you have no other boost control devices in line)
Spiking beyond 20psi doesn't do anything for your power curve & driveability. What you need is a nice sustained boost curve to make it fast & driveable.

If thats just the vac refernce of the dyno, thats fine, normally they plug it off the fuel pressure regulator or the manifold at a dyno which can vary a few psi either way.hmmmm. looks like I have to see my closet APR dealer because my dyno graph shows peak about 20 psi!
Since you have a Polo, you have a boost sensor which reads actual boost (= or - .005 %) - you simply have to data log this. Its pretty simple - requested boost vs actual boost and they should run pretty close to each other.
Log yours & print the plots in excel - I just did a quick web search & here are some for you. If you need it checked out, drop it back to your APR dealer & he will sort it for you - no problems at all.
