my latest round

Fri Nov 8 12:54:57 PST 2013

Kenneth-

I have a similar setup and got 26 pounds of boost right away once I had the
right chip. I struggled for months going through all the mechanical issues
only 2 find that it was a waste of my time. If you have  checked your
intercooler and pipes for boost leaks, and the line to the Motronics brain,
I suspect you're having a software issue rather than a TPS issue. Do you
have an RS2 mass air flow meter? You can also compress the wastegate spring
a tad by drilling open the cap on the top and turning the Allen bolt.
Carefully....
I also recommend the S4 wastegate frequency valve. But...... Software first.

injectors (37lb/hr?, I don't remember), 7A cams (both), Iroz downpipe and
Stromung catback, and a 2.0 bar WG spring.  The APR R1 bypass valve with
open cone filter is surprisingly quite loud, and I'm still having fun with
that although I may put the airbox back in at some point (I'm aware of the
open and oiled cotton cone filter drawbacks).

so I'm getting about 14 psi, so I'm suspecting the TPS isn't working well
so I'm considering replacing it with one for an AAN, which are more
plentiful/cheaper and said to be usable.

some cracked joints, and have previously unplugged the MFTS without
successfully getting ECU-assisted boost, and at this point I'm willing and
want to try a new TPS since hearing the AAN version is a suitable
substitute.

sound (just passed idle test smog check too with impressive 87/220,
0.03/1.20 results (forget which is which, just referencing a cell pic of
the numbers).  I'm looking forward to getting the boost issues sorted.  I
have an Apikol rear sway bar en route.  The car is on H&R 29800s and
Bilsteins with 2B camber plates, on 18" OZ Superleggeras, and so far G60's.
 I have a big brake kit, but I can't find one of the caliper brackets yet
and I am also in need of some 993tt rotor ring bolts before I can put them
on.

failed, with the cable crimp pulling out of the top of the sliding thing
that attaches to the glass.  It sounds like AutohausAZ is replacing that
under warranty less to/fro shipping.  I have some oil leaks to address,
instrument cluster funkiness to resolve along with installing some S4 gauge
faces, urS4 sport wheel to install, rear speakers and a sub, tint the
windows, and fix the a/c and I should be able to more comfortably drive it
daily.  I'm now driving it daily, but with all that crap broken/undone.
 Since it's not hot right now here in AZ, without the a/c it's still a joy
despite the basket of issues it has.

right (enough).

 The plug from the antennas is different from the more common antenna plug
that the (Clarion circa 2005) head unit I'm using.
