I've got a 2004 BHW in my 2002 eurovan. All of the turbo tubing and intercooler piping had to be fabbed up. It ran fine when still in the passat before my swap. My issue is a limp mode that comes on when over 2400rpms or so, or any sort of sustained throttle driving when cruising. I've been able to lessen it by tightening up all of the joints and making sure there aren't any boost leaks. It also helped quite a bit by adjusting the turbo actuator rod so it doesn't make as much boost, but, it's slow now. really slow.
I'm wondering if there is an issue with using a front mounted intercooler and the length of piping that is involved. Is this enough to cause surges or enough lag to cause issues with the MAP sensor and cause a limp mode? The sensors are stock, the turbo is stock. I've got a Malone 1.5 tune with immo and EGR delete and a cold weather idle increase.
What scans from VAG-COM would be helpful here to help diagnose an issue? Any thoughts on what could be causing it? Do I need a SMIC instead of the FMIC?
Thanks.
