So now my VW is doing VW things

Remind me, what wastegate is on the car?

 

[Aron]

The DTR6054 uses the OEM actuator from the IS20. You have to swap it over from the stock turbo then calibrate.

That's gonna be my guess as a starting point. Car drives fine other than the code I'm gonna guess?

 

[Aron]

Seems like it. I'm driving it as easy as possible to save the clutch...probably hasn't seen more than a pound or two of boost all week lol

 

[Aron]

I didn't clear the code yet, but it doesn't pop up immediately after starting the car, either. Takes at least a few minutes.

 

[Aron]

Well that doesn't seem right

 

[Aron]

Apparently I ordered a clutch last night

 

[Aron]

Had some parts overnighted from Japa...err, Germany.

You figure out your possible wastegate issue?

You figure out your possible wastegate issue?

No, not really. I messed with it a couple days ago. I was spinning the rod to adjust the gate voltage but the voltage wasn't changing. I texted Everett and he told me to just bring it to him and he'd look at it. Ever since, the epc light has been off, so I dunno. I watched the live data as I drove it, and voltage is low but raises as I drive. Not sure if that's normal or what so Im still gonna take it out to him. But I ordered the clutch and so I may as well wait and do that then too.
