I know I'm going to get told off for doing this... But I may have removed the factory ecu boost controller... That's how it gets to 13psi

Are you talking about the N75? So did you check the fuelling out afterwards? With the N75 disconnected it would normally run at actuator pressure which would be 5-6PSI.

I have a boost tee instead..

Also a rising rate fuel pressure regulator

Explain to me what the boost Tee is doing Clarkee. The FPR might be saving you some big expense.

[Clarkee_vw]

Boost tee controls the waste gate on the turbo.. Allowing you to increase or decrease the boost. They are from turbosmart..

Manual Boost Controllers

So is this the basic $100 or the posh $300 one? I was trying not to tell you off but dude this is 2012 and turbo control has moved on since they first came out. Back in 1985, bleed valves were all the rage on Ford RS Turbos and Renault 5 Turbos. When I was a kid

Audi and VW spent more than a few dollars setting these up and I'll admit the AGU is far from the most sophisticated motor out there but a flash is by far the best way to make them go better and stay together.

I know you have access to this stuff cheap through work but you gotta lay off it

Cold turkey that's what you need. A good couple of months in rehab and you'll come out like new LOL.

Put the N75 back and sell the shiney stuff, then email me. Do it properly, you have spent lots of time getting the engine in, be a shame for it to give up on you.

Lol rehab

I've gotten so used to the power though it lights the front wheels up at 60kmh in second gear..

I'm saving to buy a gizmo electronic boost controller instead of the manual one..

Also I've put Nulon 80,000km oil treatment in the engine oil which is the same as Slick50.. Puts a Teflon coating in the engine internals and the turbo. Also using special oil from Penrite that specific for the golf. I treat her right
