APR Stage III Gone Bad.... Help!
Okay, installed the apr stage III on my 2000 a4. As soon as the kit was installed the car has had constant bog. 1-2 gears i give it full gas and the car hits boost bogs and hits boost and bogs. it almost feels like a fuel issue. BUT i have replaced the fuel pump/filter, dv, maf, Dataloged the car, everything turned out to be fine.And had even sent my turbo BACK to apr to have them "fix" the problem , b/c they thought it was the wastegate sticking and got it backed today and problem is still happening. The ecu is brand new, all the software was reburned, injectors are fine , plugs are fine, and now i dont know what the problem is. Any ideas would be helpfull.

Diagnostic Trouble Code
Why do you have a brand new N75 valve on? Was the old one diagnosed as bad? Did you personally check the plumbing to the new one?
Do you have a boost gauge and if so what does that show at idle, just prior to the car falling flat and just as it falls flat?

Re: Diagnostic Trouble Code
we did personally checked the n75 valve to see if its the problem and its perfectly fine. yes i have a boost gauge , but the car does not really fall flat on its butt, what will happen , lets say im rolling at like 40 in 2nd, punch it , boost spikes up to like 21ish lbs and then car starts to bog, (almost feels like a fuel issue, but we checked the fuel its fine) and the boost drops to like 15lbs and then once it gets past the bogging it runs smooth after that. all the bogging occurs like around 3-4 rpm. Do you have aol IM to talk?

He means are you sure that the vac lines leading to the N75 are in the correct place
IE - make sure you don't have them reversed.
Also what are your plugs gapped to?
