Default NYC / Fairfield County / Westchester County - Side mechanic

Any recommendations? Car is not running at full APR Stage3+ (only 13PSI). I have brought my car to a few places and they cannot figure it out. I am about to sell this car because of how frustrated I am. Please help me. I am willing to drive a reasonable distance in the tri-state area. A Good reputation on AW will help!


The car: 2001.5 1.8TQMS


Thank you,

Pete

Default I guess what i'm trying to say is, I want to avoid commercial places that

do not take their time and do not treat the car with respect. I know we all want the best for our cars, but I'm only saying this because I've been treated like **** by local shops/ mechanics. My car was rushed through and has been acting up since the turbo kit was installed. Thank you everyone for the help.

Default Ummm...did you check to make sure you're still in the Stg III+ program mode?

did you disconnect the battery recently? Accidentally change programs while driving on the highway trying to set the Cruise Control?

Worth a shot to double check.

IIRC Stock Program on an 01.5 is 11-12psi...

Default A Response

Thats the hose... doesn't necessarily fix the valve. The valve may be shot, which basically causes an "internal" leak and low pressure

been there... done that
