ARR stage 3 help
when i got the car the clutch was glazzed so I was never able to get on it, I drove the car like a sissy for 1k miles and now the clutch is fine I think. the ecu has two setting a 91 octain and a 93, in the 91 it seams fine, no problems at all, but today when I finally got to put it in the 93 octain setting i hear a funny noise when it spools up hard, its like a faint honk that starts out at 3800 and goes through 5800 rpms, didnt know if this is normal or if I should be worried..
the car is an apr stage 3+ 2000 a4 1.8t qm, it had a 007 DV newly rebiult and cabonio intake and apr front mount.. thanks for the help in advance..

"faint honking" is a classic symptom of a bad DV. Check the vac line that goes to it and maybe take it appart and put it back together with new grease. It could be that the last time it was serviced, too much or no grease was used at all and the piston is getting stuck inside the dv. What psi do you boost to?? See which spring is being used inside the dv too.

i dont have a boost gauge yet, I was told it spikes to 22-24 and holds 18-20, then on the 91 its just stock boost, I am being told it could be the turbo which scares me but i would think if it was the turbo i would hear it all the time..

It seams that it only happens on wide open throttle, and it dosent do it all the time, it almost feels like there is a loss of power when it makes the noise. so im going to have to try another DV to rule that out, maybe the who ever rebiult this one did it wrong.. where can i get a rebiult kit for one of the 007's? any other sugestions, im going to through in a boost gauge tomarow so I can watch and see what the boost dose..
