Passat (B5) :: How To Install Boost Gauge
I have a 2001.5 Passat with a TIP and an upsolute chip. I was wondering if there are any write ups with pictures on how to install a boost gauge. I'm having trouble finding where to put one as well as where to T off and get pressure from.
View 6 RepliesGolf/GTI VI :: Gauge Not Reading Full Boost After VF Intake Install
I installed a VF intake a few weeks back and noticed my car is peaking at around 14-15 PSI max according to my boost gauge, when it used to hit 17 peak. I'm not sure if I may have a leak nor have I checked it via vag-com.
It does feel a bit off, but for as far as I know the gauge could be messed up now.
Just wondering if there would be any immediate signs (sounds etc...) of whether there would be a leak, or what other problems may cause this.

View 13 RepliesTiguan :: Boost Gauge / Vacuum While Driving On The Freeway
I recently installed a boost gauge on my 2010 Tiguan (Auto, 4 Motion) and was rather surprised by the readings when driving on the freeway.
At around 65-70 MPH on a flat surface, the manifold pressure is just about 0 (range of 1in Hg - 1psi) all the time. I am used to my 1.8t thats runs 10 in hg vacuum at highway speeds. I just find it a little odd that the turbo is working hard enough to relieve the intake of all vacuum, and sometimes even boost while driving with hardly any engine load.
My gauge reads 20 vacuum at idle and 15-18lbs max boost with apr software. What readings does every else here see? Any difference between auto and manual?
Passat (B5) :: RPM Drop After Boost Meter Install
I just installed a Prosport Boost Meter in my automatic B5. Pics included of the vac line I spliced into and everything. The meter works perfectly fine (though I'm not boosting as much as I'd like ).
I've noticed a decrease in my idling RPM and when I let off the accelerator and come to a stop, my RPMS drop incredibly low, to about 600, and recover to my new normal idle of about 900.
Any explanation for this or things I should be worried about, or is that just the nature of the beast?

Finally getting to my header and exhaust install.
I plan on removing the secondary air injection as I have no provision for it. Will this throw a CEL?
Looks like it goes into a rubber hose and comes around to the top of the intake manifold.
What is the best/cleanest way to cap this off?

The EPC light came on the the MFD read: Engine Fault Workshop! This happened once before for about a second, but today the car dropped to limp mode and would not recover. She had a flat bed take it to the dealer and they "reset the throttle" and it is okay now. Aside from running the adaption routine, I am clueless what this means. I will scan the codes tonight.

Went to see a movie, Vehicle was running fine. Then, on the drive home I noticed there was no turbo boost at all. Was a struggle trying to pass someone going 10km faster than me. Got home, Reverse the Vehicle into my parking spot then the engine died. Car wont start now. Sounds and feels like the fuel pump went, turns over, a mere whisper of the engine trying to get going, but never does. Plugged it in, getting misfire codes. Checked the Diverter valve and seems to be fine, checking the front PVC Valve tomorrow. Its just really strange how the turbo wasn't functioning at all, but the vehicle ran all the way home, Then died when i backed it in my spot. and now wont start. Its throwing me off, All i can think of is Coil Packs, spark plugs, Diverter Valve, PVC valve. 2010 Tiguan 2.0t.....
View 6 RepliesGolf/GTI VI :: CEL After Intake Install - Codes P0101 And P150A
Installed Forge Twintake on my GTI, CBFA engine code. Have had it installed for 2 weeks now, it was running funny ever since, idling was weird and every time I shifted I felt it through the clutch. Throttle response and acceleration was fine though. Yesterday driving to work the CEL came on, I scanned it today and got P0101 MAF VAF and got P150A idle speed control. I was thinking about cleaning the MAF sensor to see if that was the problem but it doesn't seem like that would solve the problem of it running weird. Was also considering reinstalling the stock intake and seeing how it ran then and or if the CEL went off.

Just put a cold air intake on my 99 f150 with a 4.6. its a CAI with a 4" tube and its not an oiled filter. there is NO vacuum leaks, the mass air flow sensor is clean. I am getting the codes 171 and 174 now and i know its from the intake because that's when it started running lean. Is there any way or anything i can adjust to fix this other than buying a 300 dollar programmer?? If I take it to a ford mechanic will he be able to fix this?
