Seems that the golfs and jettas have a o-ring failure on the connection from the pancake pipe, to the next hose. Can anyone with an Ekta check if we have any of these parts in our boost tubing:

225's don't have the pancake pipe....just 180's/VW's....

My car is barely able to hold off gtis, and that is not funny. :-) I want a 250awhp TT like Carbide, and a few others on here.

No gauge I take it? Probably something like a Bad MAF if it's just down on power...

pancake pipe? Can you educate me on that Steve?

Make a pancake, roll it up and you put your weed in there.

In the vortex thread, it says that if you have a leak at the o-ring, your car will still make the max boost, but it will be slightly higher than usuall. Also says that you will probably get some timing pull because the turbo has to work harder to keep the same boost levels. I did some logs a while ago that showed 3-6 degrees being pulled on Revo HB9 Timing 3. This should be fine on a car with an exhaust on it.

I have also put more than a few tanks of leaded race in the car, so I wonder if my cat is clogged? I have no CELs in VAG com to say that though.<ul><li><a href="http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1621202">http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1621202</a</li></ul>

If your gauge hasn't changed it's unlikely you have a leak. It's measured at the manifold. Look for other issues (MAF)

And that leaded gas didn't do you any good BTW...
