Default problem with my turbo
I have a 99 A4TQM and I noticed today that my turbo doesnt seem to be boosting as hard as it used to. I can feel that im loosing performance. I got it chipped about 10k ago and its the first time its doing this. I have 70k on my car. Has anyone had a similar problem or maybe someone knows what might be wrong???
thanks,

Default its da chip
when you purchase a chip, the software will overspoon your turbo... in da long run its bad for your car.. thats why I recommend getting a switch for stock and chippped use.

Default well, as bad as overspooning your turbo is...
I doubt it's the chip. Most likely a boost leak or a bad BPV.

Default A leaky BPV will deliver less boost than programmed to the turbo...
resulting in... less boost to the turbo and less power.
