Ready to race!
What’s going on guys, I’ve been having an issue where I felt as though the car was hesitant at certain RPMs. I have a MKV GTI TSI motor 6MT with a Unitronic Stage 1+ tune , CTS TURBO intake, Audi R8 coils( Purchased from ECSTUNING). So I took my car to a shop to diagnose as I would hear air releasing. Assuming I had a boost leak I took it. The shop went over anything and felt the same that I was while driving. There was no boost leaks etc. I ended up asking them to install a GFB Dv + and that’s when they were able to hear boost releasing at certain RPMS. They logged the car and said fueling etc was good, car was hitting requested boost but the car was pulling timing. See below pic. He asked what fuel I used and stated to not used BP 93 anymore and that the issue was due to fuel. Stated to use Sunoco or Shell and also to use fuel injector cleaner and octane booster in different tanks after. I did. Feels better but not 100% I recently installed new spark plugs NGK BKR7EIX which is better but still feel it releasing boost early. Just had carbon cleaning recently done and new intake manifold installed. Any other ideas ? Granted I am not able to log and have been using 93 from shell or Sunoco but still some hesitation.
