It seems as though recently when i am driving i will get a ton of boost in second gear, but when i throw it into 3rd it sounds like the boost is working but i dont seem to get as much pull. I am really new to audis and have only had mine for a month. i am just wondering if its me being paranoid or something really is wrong. thanks

 

Its the gearing in the trans that makes it feel that way, not the boost.

 

The gears are higher but you maybe shifting to soon altho the K family turbos are small and spool fast.............Do you have a boost gauge???????

 

nah but i need to get one

 

It could be that by the time you get to 3rd your turbo is exhausted from the previous 2 gears if you hammered it.. The k03 doesnt have the best stamina if you know what i mean.

 

yeah i am hoping to uprade to a Ko4 this summer, to increase that stamina

 

When do you normally shift?

 

i usually shift at around 3000 to 4000 rpms

 

If you are getting out to pass someone, try shifting at like 5000 RPM. That way when the rpm drop while shifting, the car will stay within the power band.

 

alright kool
