GVR-4 car sputter at 5500 in full boost.

[93_tsi_fwd]

Well, my car is acting up again. nothing major tho... I think???

I test drove my car yesterday after beeing parked for 1 week. I warmed up the car for like 5 to 10 min. then drove it regularly around the block with no problems for 10 or so mins. then went to a long straight away behind a school and punched it. when my 1st. geat hits 5.5k rpm or so, the car sputters like it has a revv limiter set at 5500 rpm. second gear goes up all the way to redline @7k without any problems.

anybody go tips on this problem or how to fix.

(mod list on my profile are current)


Thanks in advance.

When was your last boost leak test?

Kotty King, could that be compressor surge?

I had a friends 240 doing this....strangely I closed down his spark plug gaps a tad and it went away. The strange part was it only did it in first and second, but higher load gears it didn't. Either way...it went away.

I had this same sounding problem in 2nd and 3rd. I bought new spark plug wires(I had JUST boughten the plugs so) and the problem went away. still running great!

Just my .02

+1 for plugs and/or wires. I had the same problem with my car and a fresh set of BPR6ES plugs gapped to .028 and my car loved the boost again.

Good possibility that its ignition break up. Check/replace (or re-gap) your plug's. Make sure the wires are good.

0 boost leak

I will be checking the plugs and wires when i get back home later on tonight.


my plugs are new probably just need to be gapped.
