MKV Turbo Lag
I have a 2007 MKV GTI. I chipped it with APR and after a few weeks the stock diverter valve blew. I used the car for 2 weeks and then fitted the forge valve. For 3 weeks or so the car worked like a beauty !!!! Now I have excesive turbo lag (takes a lot more revs than before for the turbo to kick in). I have already checked the installation of the forge valve for leaks and there are none. I wonder if another part might have been damaged while using the car with the blown stock diverter valve and it just snapped .... or
 I scanned the car for fault codes and nothing. Any hint will be highly appreciated. Thanks, Aaron |

Re: MKV Turbo Lag
do you guys wait til warranty is expired before chipping? I'd like to do it, but don't want to create problems, not as mechanically inclined as some of you guys...

Re: MKV Turbo Lag
June 6th I Will Have Owned My Car For 1 Year But I Am Pretty Good Mechanically So I Can Work On My Own Cars For The Most Part ..... Basically For The Past 2 Weeks Ive Been Keeping The Boost Low Until I Can Get My BSH DV In About 10 -15 Days ... Group Buy Ends In 6 Days If Anyone Else Is Interested .... It Will Lower The Price Almost 20 Bux If One More Person Gets In
 (LOL Please  )
