    Low boost at low RPM

    I have a problem with the boost at low RPM, at about 3500 it boost for full and what I understan it should be full at 2500 (or?). I also have a fault code that are 2341. Advice what it could be the fault?

    Is your S2 standard? Has it been chipped? Exhaust changed? etc etc

    Need more info before anyone can answer questions, altho i dnt think you will get full boost that low down on a stock S2, im pretty sure its higher than that!

        Std software -> full boost slighlty before 2500
        Typical tuned software -> full boost slightly before 3000

        2341 (Blink Fault Code), VAG1551/2 Fault Code Number 00537 Oxygen Sensor Control Limit exceeded, fuel pressure too low or too high, intake or exhaust leak, defective ignition system component, intake air leak after air mass sensor, O2 sensor is faulty Symptom: CO before catalyst is below 0.3% or greater than 1.0%, Extremely lean or overly rich exhaust, Spark Plug fouling
        I'd say that your lambda probe is dead.

          I rather rookie about this car.. (have own it about 3month now..) So I don't know if it is chipped or not (how does the std chip look like?) The exmanifold and turbo are RS2 (not 100%...) The rest is std, but I'm not sure... Can you help me straighten out this?

            Well you should have said that in the first place. With rs2 turbo full boost at 3500 sounds about right to me.

              Crisis adverted, as Porkkis says that is right on the button for boost.

              If you want it boost earlier, speak to MRC boys about a stiffer wastegate spring.

              Also you may consider rechipping.

              Who was the car chipped by?

                  Is it some more things that I need to check up except this?

                  Chip
                  Injectors (color??)
                  Exhaust (diameter or what?)

                  It's a 3B.

                    No, theres nothing wrong with you car, we're trying to establish what works been done on your car.

                    The chip is important, previous owner will know, injectors just open the bonnet and see if the tops are green.

                    The RS2 turbo boosts at 3500rpm by standard, to get it to boost before then means a rechip and a new wastegate spring.

                    Where's Doug_RS2 when you need him?

                        Have you checked www.s2central.net for what the fault code means?

                            Could have a boost leak, i'd pressure test your system.
