Lets say I've tried everything so far and have not got much results on a 2002 tdi that we rebuilt and put in the car 2 years ago, it has never boosted like it should. When it's 10 degrees or colder does the same thing as well as about 85 and hotter - and that's here in the flat mid-west so there is not a lot of altitude change. Get the negative pressure deviation code and it goes into limp mode.
Replaced turbo and actuator today with new VW OEM turbo/manifold unit. Turbo response is the same as the old one. Have installed new vacuum lines from the brake booster to the vacuum pump and all the others in between. Have perfect vacuum on the pump checked it with vacuum gauge zap strapped to the wiper for 3 days of driving. changed N75's and MAPS nothing. checked all hoses tubing and intercooler for leaks nothing. Catalytic converter has been bypassed nothing... watched vacuum line to turbo modulates back and forth fine. egr valve has been cleaned and seems to be ok, I did not take that off to clean.
Was thinking the barometric pressure sensor in the ECM might be off? Think that could cause it? Tried to swap ECM and instrument cluster tonight with the one from our run stand ( we have a TDI run stand where we hot run them out of the car after they are rebuilt. That way we can set the timing on them and send them to the customers... we do industrial VW TDI's for forklifts and what not ) but i could not seem to get around the imobolizer to get it to run... never had to try that before... not sure i can even do it as it's the Type II.
I drive the car everyday and sometimes it's fine and does not error out, but it's still not boosting like it should... and I really would like to resolve it...
Any suggestions? Any help is appreciated as I've tried everything... the only thing that I have not done on the new turbo is adjust the rod length but it was my understanding that was more of a response time issue fix?
not sure how to insert a screen shot of my boost graph but more or less it's following the requested boost perfectly only it's about 2/3 what it should be.
