Hey all my name is Joe. I own a 99.5 audi a4 1.8t quattro 5 speed for my weekend driver/ mod car. I just bought a 1991 Talon TSI AWD with 30K on rebuild motor, and 25K on transmission. It has the following mods: spec stage 3 clutch
buschur racing ported axhaust manifold
HKS 50mm external wastegate
2.5 inch slowmo o2 housing
3 in mandrel bent exhaust w/cutout
2 in megan racing lowering springs
kyb GR-2 struts up front
kyb AGX struts in the rear
factory wheels painted gunmetal
It is my daily driver for now and I have a question about fuel cut I am experiencing. Whenever I gun it, boost will kick in around 3500-4k rpms and spikes up to 15psi sometimes (wastegate creeps past stock boost), around 5500rpms I will hit fuel cut and the car will surge until I let off the gas. I know the wastegate is too large for the stock turbo but is there any spring I can purchase for it to make it not spike such high boost or would I be better off going back to a stock wastegate?
