So, I’m kind of at a bit of a loss “expectations” wise.
Stage 2 tune from Stevenson- car ran quick- for a tdi, I was pretty impressed. Tuned at 49k miles, blew the turbo at 55k miles…
Running around for the last week with a new cr170 with 52mm wheel- turbo noises have been great. Quickness is gone, (makes sense turbo lags until around 2-2200 rpm’s…)
Top end speed wise jumped. But not like, wow glad I didn’t go with another stock turbo jumped….
(In case it’s asked- yes, I ran the turbo actuator adaptation as soon as the new turbo was put on.)
Car is overall much slower though- is this normal?
I have some pre turbo logs, and can run whatever log with the new turbo. But I’ll be quite honest- I’m better at reading than I am fully understanding what’s going on cause and effect wise.
Any gurus out there willing to tell me what logs to pull and tell me if something is off?
I was advised to get a 4 bar map by the tuner, that will be here tomorrow, and if I get the tune to support the new sensor, I’ll have it installed and uploaded tomorrow night to see if there is any change?? (Though I don’t understand, how aside from the new sensor allowing for higher pressure to be read, this changing anything.)
