Newbie a4 b5 avant 1.8t awp

Yes plumb the boost gauge in first it is pointless troubleshooting without actually knowing the boost, and you have to drive it, cab't get it parked up. Physical check all pipes with hands for cracks, i best any issues will be vac pipes not boost. 1.8t is pretty easy to work on.

I think a couple of the hoses under the inlet may be a bit crispy lol going to plumb my boost gauge in tomorrow the jobs are mounting up

Every now and then it goes into a bit of a limp mode but after about 10 seconds it comes back got a new n75 valve to fit

without the boost gauge working it is very difficult to work out.

[Vw nut]

When I get a turbo lol famous last words not having a lot of luck at the moment

ive even got a spare vag com clone you could have but would need to set it up.

[Vw nut]

OK cool thanks you finished with vags

i bought 2 ages ago, for some reason, i don't own a vag car now but i was looking to get another 1.8t quattro and did a turbo swap but they are stupid money and rarer now. the quattro really is worth the difference over the 1.8t, different rear suspension set up, get drive, but the 1.8t fwd is good just for a blast. ive owned both, biggest regret was selling my 1.8t quattro.

I bet I've had many 1.8t not looking for massive power about 250bhp being only a fronty any more a the torque steer would be crazy so your missing the 1.8t life

[Vw nut]

Don't suppose you got a bex turbo going as well 😃
