Hiya all.

I have a Series 2 Rs Turbo in my mk5.

Ive recently had samcos, -31, it was already chipped, full oil change, distributor, rotary arm, cap, sump, full water change, and general go over. Its now been set up to 10psi on the actuator. Ive recently fitted a bleed valve and it now boosts to 14psi, but the problem is, it boosts and fluctuates to 7psi....

1st gear : duno, wheel spins LOL
2nd gear: 14peak, 7 hold.
3rd gear : 14peak, 10hold.
4th gear : 14peak, 11 hold.
5th gear : 14peak, 11 hold.

I defininatly feel i have a problem, could i have a list of problems i could start to work thru guys please?

Thanks!!!!

 

The boost will drop from peak.

 

that extensive?

 

Depends on actuator really, but yea it can be, if anything your actuator may be a little weak! but you' always get the boost tailing off no matter what. ..

 

Whats fluctuating about that... ?

Peaks the same.

More in each gear is down to load.

 

yeh but its quite a big difference, dropping HALF in second gear... there must be aproblem..

 

neo a-regs fezzi peeks 15 n holds 10

so doubt there much wrong really.......specially wi most ppl here sayin its right

leave it till summot really does break then worry bout that

 

LOL... cheers then lads and maroo

Intercooler next then!

 

hi mate i see uv got an rs turbo motor in ur mk 5 ive done the same but i would like to no if u used a rs turbo fuel or not because im tryin to sort a prob with mine it cums on boost and drives just fine apart from when u boot it, it seems to pull just fine till u get to about 4500 rpm then the power just seem to tail off its like someone just thown an anchor out the back. this seems to happen in ever gear if anyone can help that would be great. cheeRS
