B8 holding boost at psi stock12/3/2023 ![]() ![]() I appreciate any help you guys could provide me, this issue has been driving me insane for quite some time now. You can see how when the ECU is in stock actual matches up with specified easily and even passes it. Once I reverted the settings back to stock, this is what I got I did some logging (requested vs actual boost) with the settings at B8 T7 F9 Checked for fault codes using VAGCOM - nothing comes up Deleted PCV valve (replaced with oil catch can) Other things I've done trying to fix the issue: I've checked every boost pipe/hose, make sure all the clamps are tighten up, visually at least I haven't been able to find any boost leak. Now, I don't know if it's just a coincidence that this happens at the same time I installed WMI, I also replaced the oem throttle body pipe with the CTS turbo one and replaced the intercooler hoses. I have a Borg Warner K04 installed with Revo stage 3 software (have had it for almost 4 years now), my car would usually boost at peak 25-26 psi and hold around 23 psi, but ever since I installed the WMI and changed the settings using the SPS switch (upped the timing from 4 to 7) my car hasn't been boosting as before.

As you guys get into more open road KMs I'm sure you won't be disappointed with the gearbox matching etc. Around town the size of it isn't really going to give you Golf R feelings but on long trips this is a very good GT type car and the DCC makes it even more adaptable. The real beauty of this motor is the torque everywhere though and how it revs out too. Still overall while it feels like it takes a while to get going, sub 6 sec to 100kph is still not slow for a large wagon that is under half the cost of an RS4 and has more toys inside. More than half pedal pressure it drops gears and holds it until redline then changes. Under slight pressure, it won't even change gears it just uses torque to speed up, a 3rd of the travel, it drops a gear and speeds up it that way quickly while changing up gears. It is very sensitive to how far its pushed down to when it holds gears in drive. ![]() Selecting sport mode does up the revs at idle about 200rpm probably giving the extra boost mentioned above but not sure if makes any difference really as the gears not changing so early have more impact than the extra 200 rpm does overall.īut I find sport mode gear box wise a PIA and now have learned how far pushing the accelerator makes the car behave instead in drive. ![]() The AWD just helps once it starts slipping and you keep your foot down and then you don't see the flickering orange light in the two AWD carsīut in saying that mine definitely has less than a second's hesitation from a standing start and I use the auto hold everywhere although if you don't completely hold the brake down it will just sit there on the foot brake without auto hold engaging too i.e no green brake light on the dash. I don't think a GTI or Golf R feel any different to the Passat in respect of the DSG response being common in all of them. The AWD system isn't instantaneous and you can feel it working it out. Sent from my SM-G930F using TapatalkThat is sort of right though, but my understanding is that it doesn't power all 4 wheels unless it needs to so is really just pushing the front wheels most of the time.? In mine, if the front wheels are on loose metal or wet road markings it slips until it grips. It's a heavier car and all that inertia would be quite taxing on the gearbox if it were to have to transfer all that power instantaneously to all 4 wheels. I think you're spot in with the DSG limiting itself. ![]()
