I logged load, timing, requested boost and actual boost this morning. It was 58 degrees. Can someone please tell me if this looks normal and explain why or why not. I'm not sure what "normal" looking timing should look like. Thanks for any help

Whatever you do don't look in the mirror, defintely not normal there. : P

 

man - payback's a bitch

 

...is it chipped? If so, that is pretty light on the requested boost.

For future reference, it helps to data log in third or fourth, preferably up a hill so that we can see what the car is doing after 5 seconds of 100% demand. These little blips tell me nothing useful.

I like VWTool better for datalogging. You do one datablock at a time(for better sampling rate) and it has a viewer capable of comparing and analyize data. Use 3rd or 4th gear and go WOT from say 1500rpm to redline to get a complete picture of what's going on.

Looks like your highest requested boost is .8 bar? I thought you have a K04??? What you want to see is how much timing is when your actual boost is at max. I think VagCom and VWTool has different ways of representing timing as well.

Can you log it with VWTool?

 

RPM...........Load.......timing.......requested boost...........actual boost
760........... 1.6............6.8...........1000................. .........1000
760........... 1.6............5.3...........1000................. ........1000
800........... 1.6............4.5...........1000................. .........1000
800........... 3.9...........21............1000.................. ........1000
1440........... 6.7.........25.5..........1000.................... .....1000
1920........... 38..........-1.5............1170........................dum-de-dum
2720........... 35.3..........2.3...........1250.................. ....say what?
3880........... 85.5..........7.5...........1430.................. .......1000!!
4120........... 85.5..........7.5...........1430.................. .......STILL 1000!!
4560........... 100...........6.8...........1660.................. .......1010! - How's that for boost?
5160........... 100..........10.5..........1810................... ......the heck?
5920........... 62.4..........7.5............1660................. .......you're keeling me!
6160........... 34.1..........13.5..........1710.................. ......aaack!. let go!
6320........... 32.2..........12.8...........1710................. ......redline!! Shift! Let go!
3880........... 85.5..........7.5...........1430.................. .......1000!!
1440........... 6.7.........25.5..........1000.................... ..... 0! You in trouble now!

;P

 

The sample rate should be at least as good as VWTool this way. Although I haven't logged any data in a while with either tool so I don't remember what kind of sample rates I was getting. Frankly I never compared them.

I agree that with built-in graphing VWTool still has the edge in this area...

Even with that I think the sampling rate is too low. APR has their own software that supposedly has a sampling rate that is 10x that of both VAGCOM and VWTool. I wish they would market something like that.

 

Oops - sorry! Agreed about APR s/w.. Oh well..
