[s-cars] occasional slight over-overboost

[JC]

Tom - Actually, I'm not sure the WG spring IS the TAP version. Funny
business with the PO and the fact that it runs fairly normally with the
screw down a few turns makes me think it's OEM spring. (I've even had 1/2 a
mind to pop the ECU open and see if the PO even really left TAP chips in
there... I do have his receipt but there was sketch behavior with him for
sure and that wouldn't be out of the question)

And just to clarify - I have no MIL light on now - it just flashed for a
second once when I had the overboost condition. I would have pulled codes
already if my VAG-COM PC didn't have a dead battery meaning I have to dig up
and fire up the inverter to power it in the car...
