Boost Problem?

[ian_jemo]

Hi all

Hopefully someone can help, I have currently got a boost problem thats got worse,
When I drive the car it is only boosting to about 5PSI this does this about 75% of the time.

If I turn the car off and back on again, the car has full boost again and works fine for about a minute then it goes back to the normal 5PSI.

I have changed the knock sensors and torqued then to 20nm, I still thing it is the knock sensors but wondered if you guys had any idea what it could be. I'm going to check the knock sensors again today.

Just curious how would the car run with the knock sensors disconnected?

Thanks

Ian

Ian when we ran my ecu and we made 22psi+ i was a bit worried but then it seemed to carm back down again, the knock sensors never came up on vag com and would have said they seemed ok?

I think your wgfv maybe a little sticky? i can send you my boost leak kit down and a wgfv when it gets back to me

Let me know James
