Just curious what everone thinks...THINK LONG AND HARD ABOUT THIS!! Because I know I'm not the only one looking for the DEFINITE answer to this one....Mechanics and tuning pros, please chime in here!!!
If you have an intake you est bet would be to stay away from ATP's solution because you need thier intake for it to work.What about those who aren't bone stock, but have an intake?![]()
Thank you. Im not the most knowledgeable but I do tons of research and know enough to be dangerous.Crogers... it seems like you're going to be a great addition to the MFG family.
Same hereThank you. Im not the most knowledgeable but I do tons of research and know enough to be dangerous.
Its either working or notl If your DV pops, you wont boost more than 1-5psi and will hear a hissing noise all the time. The car will feel terribly weak. You will know it instantly. Dont try to make it boost if this happens as you will overspin your turbo trying to make requested boost. Limp it to the dealer and have them fix it or have a fix ready to install.can someone tell me on how would i know if my dv is not working or broken?

thanks you guys. i just wanted to know 'cause i feel that sometimes i don't feel any boost in 3rd gear. it's an 08 and just wanted to know what are the signs. thanks again. i feel the boost in 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, & 6th. but not in 3rd all the time. thanks again fellow dubbers!i would assume you will get a check engine light or something. at least i would hope. i have recently chipped my fast. heavent blown the valve yet. but im sure it will happen in the future. its an 06 so im sure to have the old variant. you will loose boost, and i think it will start to leak and hiss after 8psi. i heard that somewhere so im not sure how accurate that is. i just ordered me a boost gauge. that way i will know for sure if it blows.
Ok so get a boost gauge.thanks you guys. i just wanted to know 'cause i feel that sometimes i don't feel any boost in 3rd gear. it's an 08 and just wanted to know what are the signs. thanks again. i feel the boost in 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, & 6th. but not in 3rd all the time. thanks again fellow dubbers!![]()
thank you so much for the info. i'll be getting the boost gauge soon. this community is amazing![hail vw]Ok so get a boost gauge.
www.newsouthperformance.com get you a colum pod kit with the color match gauge and you'll be able to tell whats going on with your car instead of just "feeling" it.
