Ok i just did my Gauge and it says my 180 fwd TT is boosting at 10psi and like 20 the other way i donno what it is. I thought it was supposed to boost at 14 i have a Forge DV/BOV, could that make a diff, and i have a bad 02 sensor Any thoughtS???

 

no you're running on point.

180s run 11psi stock.
225s run 14.5psi stock.

unless your chipped.. are you?


looks like the 180FWDs are gaining strength here on AF.

 

You're good as long as you're not chipped which from the sounds I'd say you aren't. The 20 is vacume and that's about what I run in idle.

 

Trust me we still suck [:'(] *buyer's remorse at lack of quattro*

The only benefits I can think of are 200lbs less curb weight and not having to buy an expensive downpipe.

 

well.. i bought a roadster so that 200 less curb weight doesn't apply.

i really have no remorse. i actually enjoy my fwd alot.

 

Im not chipped, Not yet anyway yeah the vac is at 10-11 while im driving aw man i thought i was just running a little low and it would be faster later but whatever its all good I kinda do wish i had awd but i got my 2000 audi tt For 5k so it doesnt bother me as much
thanks

 

stupid custom fabricated and expensive downpipes, haldex maintenence, and the 200lb curb weight is such a downfall to the superior handling of the quattro system[sm=Awwww.gif] , nearly no tire spin on launches[sm=Awwww.gif] and the shiny muffler sitting at the rear end [sm=Awwww.gif].

god how i hate those quattros...


i still [sm=smiley27.gif] you 180TT FWDers

 

Imagine this:

225 motor, 6 speed, RWD!!!

Man, would that be cool...

 

Damn I paid 24 K for mine lol 4 years ago though

You will love it once you get it chipped!
