Stg 3 Problem: Boost problem at full acceleration:
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/19251/pics1_054.jpg"></center><p>As it says at WOT, (according to the boost gauge) I peak at around 21, then bounce back and forth to about 15, then back again, then it settles somewhere in the middle.
Any ideas? I recently got a VAG, but not really sure what to look for, so please dont say get a VAG, please tell me how to use it! (and which blocks to monitor perhaps with the values I am supposed to have..)
Thanks,
Mark

BPV being blown open?
You could log block 002 for load and MAF readings .. both at idle and then a WOT run in 3rd from ~2500 to redline.
Maybe also look at logging block 020 for timing correction / cylinder ... seperately so you get good data points.

Re: BPV being blown open?
What numbers should I be close to with these blocks?
Any other way to check my BPV? Its a GFB adjustable --Could t be adjusted improperly? Would having it tightened too much be a problem?

I don't know jack about the GFB. I would imagine you can have it misadjusted tho. I would also think
it possible to have it too tight as well.
The MAF readings on block 002 should be around 220+ gps at WOT in the upper rpms on your pull
Timing correction shouldn't be over a handful of degrees in any cylinder.
Post your logs here and folks far more schooled than you or I will be able to comment.

I am having the same problem...
I logged 02, 031, 32. I replaced the MAF, and n75 and those problems kind of went away, but now I am running rich, I guess to a hose leak. Stay in touch I'm going to a shop on Saturday, and I'll know what the issue is then. Maybe it is the same for you. I've seen a lot of the same problems happening lately with Stage 3 that people are posting the same issue. Let me know and I'll let you know what happens. (try pressure testing your air system, search for AWE pressure testing).

He had a pretty kludged up intake on that car
and it didn't perform very well. I don't think it was abused or anything but the intake was pretty poor. It had a tiny filter down next to the turbo .. looked pretty much like a hot air intake to me.
So if the intake hasn't been squared away I'd start there.
