So a couple of weeks ago I went looking at a few edition 30's.
Finally found one that was higher mileage than I'd have liked but was perfect body wise and had full VWSH so I went up and a deal was done.
It's 102k, full VWSH and immaculate body wise except for 1 scratch on the driver's door. No dents or marks anywhere.
So the car has an R Tech sticker on the boot and it was certainly faster than others I'd test drove. I messaged them with the plate but they have no record of it, however I believe it's been on a private plate before.
What I did do was hook up my bluetooth ODB2 reader to the android head unit and use torque.
Making peak boost of 19.4 there but it didnt hold there and dropped off to 14psi very quickly. The initial surge is definitely there.
So I got about doing the usual suspects to check and ordered the newer PCV a cam follower and the GFB DV+ to see if that was the cause.
Old PCV was minging!
Cam follower wasn't too bad.
However no real improvement other than I now hit a peak boost of 21-22psi.
Where are the other places to look for boost leaks, common areas?
Car has also had so far 4 new Pilot Sport 4's to replace the crappy budgets and the obligatory GTi seat inserts.
Also does anyone know the car? It was owner by someone called Matt Parker at some point as that's the Gmail account that was linked to the head unit when I got the car. I tried emailing him but got no response.
I'd love to know if it was on here before, previous to me it was with a "trader". This is the car that had these pictures in the ad with this plate on but I think that's not a plate that's been on the car, just on the "trader" uses when advertising
