It's all coming off and being checked with a fine tooth comb this week. Good thing I don't have to commute

Yeah it really should have been something I checked. I just am surprised I managed to set it off in the first place during my engine rebuild. Must not have been paying attention closely.

Bingo. I guess I managed to set it wrong after the rebuild.

Hey there again,I'm still working on issues I've been facing with my 2g Auto TSI. It was running a little rough in warmer weather but since winter hit the car has really **** the bed. My timing at idle is at 15 degrees, 30 at < half throttle, and I don't know beyond that. My car is also...

So I forgot to reply to this, after I replaced my cap I haven't seen it happen since. However it hasn't been quite as hot out as it was the problem days. Comparing the two caps however my old one had very little spring tension left so I'll go out on a limb and say that's one of my issues fixed.

Do you have A/C and is it on or off? If it's off it could be the clutch on the A/C.

Yup, opened right when it was supposed to. Thinking about it the cap makes sense as being the fault, I've just never experienced a faulty cap before, gonna replace it sometime this week and see if the issue persists afterwards.

Yeah I'm kinda scared that it might be something bigger than a cap and I'll be ripping out the engine again. But I'll pressure test it this weekend and see how it holds. In terms of caps, do people generally run 13 or 16psi caps on these cars?

Sorry I didn't add, fluid is good, tested with a refractometer, haven't replaced cap, might still be OE. I'll replace it for good measure.Fans are running while car is running, as it isn't until they shut off after you shut the car down that the issue exists.

So recently it's been pretty warm around where I am (30c/86f) and I noticed an issue that I can't quite place. While I'm driving the car I seem to have no issues, the car stays at a happy operating temperature, doesn't overheat, no sign of boilover, running a good AFR.But as soon as I park the...

No tuning, just logging from the Wideband and the software I wrote. I was under the impression < 16psi wouldn't require a SAFC or a DSMLink if I'm wrong however, I'll park it until I get one.

So I'm trying to diagnose the issue here, I had a bad 14b on my car when I got it, so after my engine rebuild I put on a 16g I got instead. On the stock 2g blow off I couldn't boost at all, now I swapped for a 1g and it seems to hold awesome now but at 14psi it just stops, doesn't fire, then...

I don't think they mean trolling people by asking simple questions. There's no such thing as a bad question, but questions like this have been answered before and a quick search can bring many up.
