All Things Mk5 > R-Tech Zone
Just thinking about an ECU remap
rashg60:
I've only ever used shell v-power fuel since I've owned the car.
It was 247bhp with 292 torque.
rashg60:
Feels much more like standard though - so nothing compared to those figures.
AJP:
You really want to get the car back on R-Tech's rollers to get a more accurate idea of how much boost and power you're losing.
Incidentally some people find the piston rev D to leak, by design, from new. Not to the extent that a split diaphram dv would, but maybe that's why things seem better, but not quite 'there'.
The consensus is that the rev G (diaphram) is the one to have over the rev D (piston). Your rev C was a diaphram valve. My info on the specifics of the different valves may be wrong (and people, please correct me if I am) but it's an idea at least to try the rev G.

The Rev G is definitely the best at holding boost, and probably the best to use to fault find.
Mine kept tearing (probably cos turbo was getting too hot) went through 3 over time.
Not an issue on K04, Rev.G all day. :pomppomp:

I've already emailed R-Tech this evening so hopefully it should be back down there so they can test it.
I'd rather not spend any more money on parts just to eliminate any further possible causes.
Thanks for all your advice so far guys. Will keep you posted on any updates.
