please read... having some problems with boost
First off... 2000 TT 180 FWD. APR 93, Forge DV, Forge FMIC, TTDA airbox, Nuespeed cat-back
Car wasn't seeing potential.. only seeing peak boost at 16-ish psi. (autometer boost guage) I took the vac line from the DV and plugged it off. Then I took the vac line for the FPR and ran another T (same vac line the boost guage is tapped from) and tapped another vac line to run to the DV (thinking this would solve my boost problems). Car seems to run a little better, but I am only seeing 7-8 psi peaks and tapering to 4-5psi. Scanned with ProDiag and got no codes. Checked APR chip and it's it 93 octane mode. No visible problems with the vac lines.
HELP!! =)

you have a SWEET TT! What would cause soft limp? I thought it may be soft limp, (more)
it's done soft limp before I swapped vac lines. When my S4 went into limp mode I got codes as to why it did it. I can't for the life of me figure out what is causing the TT to do it.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm................ *thinking*

You either have a vacuum leak...>>
or the ECU thinks there is a problem and shuts the boost down. Check MAF, coolant temp sensor, vacuum leaks, or a faulty MAP sensor. I found that after connecting the Boost Machine, the boost created too much heat and caused the MAP to signal overboost and the car went into limp mode. I finally had to remove the engine cover and no more problems. Boost peaks at 20 and stabilizes at 18 lbs.
Hope this helps.
