You could have a small boost leak between the turbo and manifold, it doesnt have to be from the dv.

 

these are the codes that i recieve about everyday...

2 Faults Found:
17705 - Pressure Drop between Turbo and Throttle Valve (check D.V.!)
P1297 - 002 - Lower Limit Exceeded
16683 - Shareware Version. To Decode all DTCs
P0299 - 002 - Please Register/Activate

The Pictures will not work for me? There are pictures in this write up right? I thought i read somewhere that there was. Where can i get the Diode's?

Thanks

you ca get diodes anywhere, try radio shack or ebay. get the zener ones 4.3. in relation to my code p1297 what should i check for? the dv functions well when the code is not thrown, and i see no leaks or tears..

There was pics. However they were uploaded to this website and when they swtiched formats all the pics were lost. I dont have them on my computer and the car i did it on is 750mi away. The write up is self explainitory and if you need help, i or anyone else that have dont the install can help you out.

If you dont have a leak at the dv, you need to check the rest of the charge piping and if still no leak, it could be coming from the n249 since it can open the dv and may cause this problem

 

hey i would like to do this to my girlfriends 03 1.8t. everything looks easy except the bar area. im guessing the stock regulator is a 1 bar. the car is completely stock. whats the highest psi i could go on her car as of now with a diode and mbc?

 

16-18 psi before you need to add fueling.

I too have a question. I removed the n249 and am still receiving these codes:

16683 - Boost Pressure Regulation: Control Range Not Reached
P0299 - 002 - Lower Limit Exceeded - Intermittent
17705 - Shareware Version. To Decode all DTCs
P1297 - 002 - Please Register/Activate

what should i do next??

I would add fuell with any increase in boost. as well as you should regap your spark plugs. You should also advance your timing just a bit, you don't nesecarily need to but with the added boost your car can handle a degree or two advance no problem

 

cincy--can you re-add the pictures to this original post?
