I Just purchased a 90 TSI FWD after selling my 92 TSI AWD. The new car had a blown motor and I ended up getting it for a really cheap price. I have owned it for about three months now and just recently put it all back together. It has a rebuilt head and all of the free mods. (K&N filter, hacked mas, Home made intake, modified BCS, and 2 1/2 catback exhaust. THe car run great. My only problem is that my after market boos gauge tells me that I'm only running about 9PSI of boost in first and second gear, while in third and and fourth I can only get her up to 8PSI. Fifth gear really sucks because I can't get her to go past 7PSI. I know the car can handle alot more but I thought that when you add mods the boost goes up too. I was expecting at least 12PSI through all the gears. I have a MBC I just haven't installed it yet. I'll probably install it as soon as I find out what's wrong. Test and tune is this Saturday and I really wanted this problem fixed before then. Also what's a good RPM to launch at with a FWD? I used to launch my AWD at 4500 by just dropping the clutch but I heard you can slide the clutch with a FWD to avoid wheel hop/Spin. As you can see I'm still new to the FWD stuff. I appreciate any help you all can offer.
Thanks,
Ed
