Started when driving up the hill on my way home today, the boost sound on my turbo suddenly sound a little more apparent (the "wwwWWWooosh sound on every upshift as turbo spools up)...but the car seems to have a slightly harder time building up speed than before while climbing up the hill.... even when the revs gradually builds up. What I also noticed is that the Turbo boost seems to gets immediately abrupted....when I let off the gas between shifting gears to accelerate, I feel a "thump" and the Turbo needs more time to build up boost again.??? Could it be the 710N TT DV Valve about to call quits or something else???

SOunds like a boost leak to me... check hoses....

mcpath

it was very slow to gain boost and limited. I had prob for various reason including vacuum leak from busted hoses. You know anyone with vag?

Bolo

No, But I'm scheduled to convert program to APR stage1+ at Streetwerke..I'll have them check it.

i have only had my car since sept. and never driven a turbocharged car before... my mum has a 3.0, so i cant compare...
I always thought that you would be able to hear/feel the turbo boost. i dont notice it at all... i wonder whats wrong? any ideas? boost leak?

I've had nothing but problems with Stage 1+ so far. I'm hopefull to get it fixed, but so far I changed MAF's, just changed the fuel filter, intake manifold gasket, a vac hose, plugs, air filter, had the dealer go through it twice and still I get cels... Replacing the injector o-rings today because the APR seats are not designed correctly (no lead in chamfer) and cut the o-rings unless you are really lucky.

Just curious what specific issues you are having with it. Some folks have also reported running pretty rich on the APR injectors. Have you considered just trying out some different programming to see if the problems have gone away. I know you've tried a lot. cheers! Mike

You think ..there's a good chance I'll have the same issues?? some had good runs with the Stage1+
