🔧 BUILD Mook's 2016 E85, Hybrid Turbo, Golf R

[Pro Stock John]

Sounds like one of our members with a shop should graciously donate some space so you could pull the turbo and check and and then check over everything.

Sure you didn't blow some stupid vacuum fitting or somethin? I'd try boost testing the whole damn thing. Is there any kind of adjustment on the wastegate arm?

Ya, that needs to be done too.

I'll need to see if SRT41320 wants to put up with me again ?

Have you done a smoke test to find leaks?

We were gonna do that but then we didn't ? SRT41320

 

[Pro Stock John]

i mean you could pull off the WG reference and see if it will still boost.

 

[sktchy]

Maybe try a temp gun in front and behind the cat to get a rough idea if that's your issue before pulling the downpipe off? Not sure how much of a pain in the ass it is to get it off on somethin like this

The wg hasn't worked since December. It only just now got fixed last week. And it's electric...so...no reference?

Let me know if you want to smoke test it, i got some fancy smoke test machine made for boosted applications. I can pressurize with smoke to 28 psi, although most issues are seen with very low pressure

RAM Auto to the rescue. Will try and get some answers tomorrow.

If this doesn’t get resolved soon, let’s get over to the Audi dealer and trade this thing in on a new RS3.

 

[Jeffs FRC]

WTF is so funny? Wasn’t a joke!

 

[Mook]

If this car were to leave, that's the end of fun cars for me for who knows how long. I'm not getting another car note.

 

[Bru]

See it through! Don’t throw in the towel.

I'm not anywhere near quitting yet. Just frustrated.

I get this mood. Gonna go look in the garage at my conversation piece Cobra.

I'm pretty sure this is my personality anymore.

Just checking does this sentence make any sense for anyone anymore?

Making sense isn't one of my strong points, being to dumb to quit is somewhere up there though.

Update so far. Smoke test revealed one leak at the pcv. Fixed that. Checked the turbo, all looks good. But we discovered that the fucking wg voltage was NOT SET... so that was a nice lie.

We're gonna do that once things cool down more and hope that fixes the car. Everything else looks good so far.

Who does that fall on?

Is that in the computer or the wastegate it’s self

The shop that put the wg on last week.

Need to adjust the wastegate arm and then finish via ecu. We're working on that now.
