Setup: APR Stage II chip, APR 3" full exhaust, EVOMS CAI, and Forge divertor valve.

Problem: Undriveable A3 due to something blown.

Scenario: I was gently accelerating and traveling between 20-30 mph when all of a sudden, I hear something blow underneath the hood. It sounded like a release in some pressure. Immediately after, the car struggled to keep it's 20 mph speed and I was forced to pull into a residential neigbhorhood and park. I turn off the engine and start it back up. Even in idle speed, the rpm fluctuates as the engine tries to stay afloat. If I try to drive off, the engine completely shuts off.

Question: Any idea on what the problem could be?

 

Just a thought, check your hoses to the DV. I had one come off once and sounds like what you experianced.

 

Yeah, sounds like the diverter valve. I had a hose that split and had a small hole on the Forge DV set-up and the car had similar driveability issues. Get under the car and recheck that all of the hoses are on correctly and in good shape. Probably solve your problem in a few minutes. Good luck.
