Introduction

[javispa]

Hi guys, this is Javispa.
I am from Spain, and I live in Barcelona. I am a proud owner of an Audi S2 Coupé engine 3B, which I bought 3 years ago and I am trying to make it shine like new.
When I bought the car it had some problems (turbo pressure at 0,4 bar ) which I have been solving.
At them moment, it needs a radiator change and a brake adjustement (I mount Brembo 4 piston brakes on Audi A8 323 discs , and there's some kind of noise that I hope to eliminate), but at least the engine works properly (the turbo has less than 10k miles)... it gave 222hp 3 months ago .
Well, nice to meet you all, and I shall read you soon.
Greetings from Spain!

Welcome to the forum - there are some four or five Spanish members now I think.

Read the fault codes first. Motronic wants to keep the boost down for some reason. If no codes show up (other than the usual G28) try to unplug the MFTS and go for a drive. If this didn't help replace N75.

Hi guys, thanks for the responses.
Paul, I think I know the Spanish members... there's a section on the Spanish Audi's Forum dedicated to S2... so I know them from that forum. I will send you a PM as I am interested on the silicone hoses you have... quite sure 2 kits, both for water and for turbo... because I will be changing the turbo (a brand new RS2 turbo is waiting to be installed) and a friend of mine has already done it, and we want to avoid limb modes.
Porkkis, thanks for your response too... but the boost problem has already been solved... it was a problem with the Hall sensor, the distributor (I do know the name in English... I mean the part which the spark's cable are connected to) was not well calibrated. Once the mechanic set it correctly, the car came back to life. Before that, I changed the N75 (I put a new ABY's one) and the diverter (a TT 225 cv's one... but I will mount a Forge one when I change the turbo), and nothing happened, but at least now I am sure that they won't fail.

Nice , jeje.
The thing is that I won't be here on Saturday, as I have free days at work and I will be in Girona, at my girlfriend's house... 60 milles north from Barcelona.
Anyway... have fun!
Greg... about the brakes's noise... it sounds like a vibration, but it does it sometimes. When I press the brake pedal, it stops. I think that maybe the disc touches the metal plate which is behind the disc... the discs I mount now are much bigger than the stock ones... We'll see... and I will keep you informed.
Javier.
