Yep, today I replaced the torn MM hose with a brand new one (101 Euros,
ouch!!!) and put the WG spring back in!!! Man what a difference!!! While
"just test driving it" I happened to hit 220 km/h (137 mph) on the speedo,
ain't that insane??? I have the MTM chips in and it makes 1.2- 1.4 Bar
overboost pressure (I mean 2.2-2.4 Bar absolute pressure) then 0.9 and even
1.0 Bar in 5th gear, so the chips work just fine and the intake system is
operational again!!!! Now I just hope that the fuel consumption will lower
somehow at least on highway driving because 12.5 liters for 100 kms (don't
ask me for the conversion now please) at reasonable highway speeds (85 mph)
is just way too much for me. I think that as the ECU was seeing no boost
for those throttle openings it just used the "limp mode" ignition tables
with less advance, which would explain my high fuel consumption... I'll see
next week if my theory is correct or not...
Anyway, I just felt like sharing my satisfaction with all of you :-)
Mihnea, again happy 20vt driver!
