Beautiful car man congrats on the house as well keep up the good work BTW I'm rebuilding my 90 TSI AWD with 500 awdhp but I'm keeping my oem wheels I just notices I got the same spark plugs cover you have I also have a tuned By tomei one as wellWel I haven’t been able to get much progress on the build but we finally purchased our dream home. Build should go a lot smoother and quicker with the extra space . And yes there is a shop in my future. Couldn’t help but share.
Motor is ready to drop in just need the bottoms timing covers and clutch. Would really like to get this thing moving on its own power before the snow comes in.
New wastegate? Or wastegate actuator? The actual gate (if internal) is in the turbine housing. That is the source of boost creep.New wastegate did not solve my boost creep, I was really trying to avoid porting the exhaust housing.
While i wait on my Dremel and carbide bits I decide to add some horsepower.
I believe it was +5hp per sticker/gauge the last time i checked.
The gauge holder is just a 1/4pc square of pvc board i cut to fit snug in the radio bezel.

New actuator. It opens a little more at a lower psi and it just helped delay the creep.New wastegate? Or wastegate actuator? The actual gate (if internal) is in the turbine housing. That is the source of boost creep.
I'm still learning. I did think about sending you a message but i found multiple threads on here about it.Yup. Actuator has nothing to do with creep.
Hey no problem.I'm still learning. I did think about sending you a message but i found multiple threads on here about it.
