Evening gentlemen,
I've been enjoying my RS2 converted coupe for a couple of months now. I had put it away for the winter but since we've been having nice, cold crisp weather the last few days i've taken it out of premature hibernation, for a few days anyway!!
Now then the car goes very well indeed, i had quite a few teething issues but they have been resolved now.
However one thing is still annoying me, i cannot for the life of me get 1.9bar out of the RS2 VStream chipset.
The most i get is 1.8bar, which i get every time i go WOT in fourth and fifth, sometimes in third i think??. Some people say these are 1.9 bar chipsets while other say 1.8 bar. Now then i know it's only 0.1 bar but if i'm supposed to be getting 1.9bar thats what i want it!!
I've done several boost checks and nothing obvious is showing up, altitude sensor has been tweaked and reading 1025mbar, TPS i think is ok, shows something like 98% open when foot on the floor and using vagcom and shows around 5.8 on idle.
I bought new knock sensors but have not fitted them, any ideas? The boost gauge does flutter a bit when WOT but have bought an inline filter to see if that dampens it. The gauge doesn't flutter until over 1.6bar, it can be held steady below that pressure no problem.
I have two gauges for reading boost pressure, a new glowshift analogue and new digital AEM gauge. Both give the same reading.
How many people have used RS2 VStream chipsets and what kind of boost pressure were you getting?
Cheers lads
