Well more like lagging...I had posted the issues I was having in an older thread about how my car went from super fast to crazy slow. Issues were fixed (or so I thought) so now I'm wondering what new and exciting problem I'm having with my s*!%head of a car. So here's the deal now...the car was really fast after I had a custom tune done to it. It became ultra slow, due to a bad hose (one going to the N75 valve). Hose was replaced, along with 4 brand new tires and an oil change. I picked the car up after the shop had closed and expected light speed again...However, this wasn't the case.

I called the shop, and they're telling me I'm getting 22psi, tapering off to 16psi just like the program says it should. So my question is this:
If I'm making 22psi, why does my car feel like it did when it was stock? Anything I can check at home? The clutch is good and the oil is fresh, so I'm stumped. Help please!!

Don't take their word for it, get a boost gauge and make sure you're boosting normally.

How are they checking your boost?

If you don't have a boost gauge I don't see how they are throwing numbers out at you.

 

Or your car could have been chiped before you bought it. And they just charged you saying they chipped it for you.

 

What program peaks at 22 and settles at 16?(I know its a custom tune, the question isrhetorical.)Dont most drop 1-2psi after peak?

 

They hooked it up to a boost gauge temporarily at the shop, which is where they get the numbers from. The car DEFINITELY wasnt tuned beforehand, right now the car feels a little tiny bit faster than stock, but I know it was tuned right because when I first got it back the car was a rocketship. Now, not so much...

They also had given me the dyno charts for both before the tune, and after, so it was at one point, making good power.

 

Boost sounds about right for a stock turbo. if it is slower than before, timing is the only other source for powerloss. Adaptation could be taking over and pulling timing. But thats just a guess.

 

Try adjusting timing using Lemmiwinks. A throttle adaptation can't hurt either.

 

we know he doesnt have a boost gauge, whats the odds of him having a vag cable? 0-10% Better have a buddy with one. The ME7 isnt a end user ecu, i wish people would get that.
