Loss of power - 1.8T

Recommended Posts

My Corrado has been fine, running really well with no problems. Had a boost gauge installed and now I have lost loads of power. Turbo sounds like it is spooling, just got no power. Have checked boost pipes and all seem to be fine.

 

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know as im stumped.

Your ECU may be in "safe" mode. Are you boosting more than 5psi?

 

For the boost gauge, you can tap into the vaccum line off the fuel pressure regulator.

my car was not fully mapped yet and only running around 7 psi. Does seem a big coincidence that i have now lost power after the gauge was fitted. Will have a word with the guy who installed the gauge. Just had a quick look and the boost gauge vacuum pipe goes to where my dump valve pipe work is.
