The tube (flex) plastic pipe that is behind the MAF to the turbo inlet,check see if there is any cracks or holes in it ,pulling in air that's unmetered.What are you calling the "intake tube"?
Im guessing its unmetered air but I've check the TIP (Turbo Inlet Pipe) all of the line hoses to and from the n75, turbo actuator and brake booster. They're all good.
Stop thinking and listening to the peanut gallery, last time it caused you to have to buy an expensive tool so you could put your new head together with old parts. Go find a professional to work on your car.I was thinking that maybe my MAP sensor has gone bad. I was told that after 165k miles it would not be out of the ordinary for MAP sensor to have run its course.
The CR170 is new. Atleast thats what Andrew told me when I bought it. The shaft had more play in it than my OE cr140 does. He assured me that it would tighten up after it got some oil in it.
It's not going to stay spinning freely if you keep trying to make the turbine touch the wall. The turbo doesn't have a problem, you reach peak boost, just not as fast as you're supposed to.It still has the same amount of shaft play. The blades still touch the wall but just so. It does spin freely and I do not burn oil.
Don't give me credit for checking your vacuum stuff, I didn't check any of your results despite you houding me...you burned up the last of your good will when I had to keep arguing with you about the 3 bar map sensor being insufficient.According to VCDS and everything I've found on the forums, the actuator is operating just as it should. According to Andrew, vacuum is on point. The duty cycle is the same as 2 other JSW TDIs Ive checked that are local to me.
That's brilliant, everyone, make a note, the 3 bar map sensor is only capable of reading 26 psiMÄDDNESSS said:If the tune was calling for 29 and the MAP can only read 26, how would that not be the problem? The 3bar MAP is a problem for the 3.6 tune, thats why that tune calls for a 4bar MAP sensor.
How is this any different?
Wow, 32psi eh? That must kick pretty goodBought my turbo from AA Rodriguez CR-170,new in box been set at 32 PSI forever and not a single problem whatsoever.
Yes indeed,lots of time from Malone and it's perfect.This MADDNess guy has some troubles after reading it seems like he has a problem no one has ever had before.Although he said that he has double checked everything it may be worth it to bring it to another shop have it checked.Send some logs out and see if there is something another tuner can pick up on ??Wow, 32psi eh? That must kick pretty good![]()
I'll let the other Malone distributors that gave me that info you think they are the "Peanut Gallery".Stop thinking and listening to the peanut gallery, last time it caused you to have to buy an expensive tool so you could put your new head together with old parts. Go find a professional to work on your car.
Yes I did pick it up for your warehouse when you had that sale for the free stage 3 tune upgrade which you aren't going to honor now. This one hasnt tighten up with oil in it.You picked the turbo up from our warehouse in person, brand new in the box with original packing material and manufacture documentation. Every single new VNT turbo has a shaft that is loose when dry, they all tighten up when oil is put through them.
I dont have to make it, it touches the wall without any more pressure than it took before the turbo went in.It's not going to stay spinning freely if you keep trying to make the turbine touch the wall. The turbo doesn't have a problem, you reach peak boost, just not as fast as you're supposed to.
You didnt watch the videos I posted on fb but you commented on it? Ok.Don't give me credit for checking your vacuum stuff, I didn't check any of your results despite you houding me...you burned up the last of your good will when I had to keep arguing with you about the 3 bar map sensor being insufficient.
I was told by another Malone distributor that its only capable of 26-28 but in that post was a little confusiin on my part. I mixed 2 9BARs with 29psi.That's brilliant, everyone, make a note, the 3 bar map sensor is only capable of reading 26 psi
To eliminate confusion, a 3 bar map sensor is good for 29 PSI, after that you need a 4 bar.
Since AARodiguez isnt honoring his "buy a cr170 and get a free stage 3 upgrade" sale, I wont be taking any business to him or recommending him to anybody.Yes indeed,lots of time from Malone and it's perfect.This MADDNess guy has some troubles after reading it seems like he has a problem no one has ever had before.Although he said that he has double checked everything it may be worth it to bring it to another shop have it checked.Send some logs out and see if there is something another tuner can pick up on ??
So sell him a 4 bar sensor and move on.AARodriguez said:you burned up the last of your good will when I had to keep arguing with you about the 3 bar map sensor being insufficient.
He doesn't need or want a 4 bar map sensor, he wants a car that works correctly. The map sensor isn't going to fix his problem.So sell him a 4 bar sensor and move on.
I have a feeling both of you guys are on different sides of the state and really need to somehow or someway meet in the middle.
I never once argued that the tune should be written for a 4 bar MAP sensor. I speculated that the 3 bar wasnt quite a true 3 bar MAP because the 3.5 tune was requesting 2.9 BARs. After you pointed out that the 2 5 tune was calling for 2.5 BARs, and I was having the same issue, I understand that that aspect of the tune was not the issue.
.
What makes you think im an incompetent mechanic and drug user?.
I already installed it once and then you asked me to put the Stage 2 on, I was willing to install the 3.5 again before you left but I did advise that to be a bad idea with not knowing what the issue with your car was.Since AARodiguez isnt honoring his "buy a cr170 and get a free stage 3 upgrade" sale, I wont be taking any business to him or recommending him to anybody.
Lastly, you still owe me atleast a stage 3 tune. I bought the CR170 when you had that sale "Buy a cr170 and get a free Stage 3 Malone tune uprgrade." That was if the buyer already had a stage 2, which you and I both have confirmed that I do have.
Sure, buy a Flashzilla or go see another dealer, I'll give them the file free of charge, you can pay them for their labor.
How about because you've done nothing positive on my thread. All you've done is instigate arguement after arguement and start a smear campaign against me, when I never once mentioned you in this thread prior to you commenting.I really don't know why you would think I need to save face? He has a car with a physical problem that needs to be found and fixed.
The kid is a delusional or pathological liar...
How many times have I said Im gonna kill my dog if he chews up another xbox cord?@Richard55....how many times has Madness asked if you wanted to smoke a bowl of weed with him?
To be clear, its not just because you havent been able to suggest a test that pinpoints the problem but rather because NOBODY has been able to suggest a test that pinpoints the problem.You have decided that, "There is not a problem with your car because we have not suggested a test that pinpoints the cause of the problem." It doesn't work like that.
This is my last reply and a spectacular one to finish on.To be clear, its not just because you havent been able to suggest a test that pinpoints the problem but rather because NOBODY has been able to suggest a test that pinpoints the problem.

[B. It's not our responsibility nor job to resolve this problem for you.[/B]Your car has had a major overhaul, tons of things have been changed. I'm not your mechanic, I'm the guy who was going to sell you a tune update but your car didn't perform as expected and you've tried to drag me into being responsible for fixing it.
If you think the turbo is at fault, pull it, mail it to us or have a 3rd party bring it to our shops. We will have Borg Warner do a warranty inspection.
The tune isn't at fault, we ruled that out but I do think it's a great idea to get a Flashzilla and put the stock tune on to bring back all DTCs.
I hope you get your car fixed, the Stage 3 upgrade file will always be available to you for free until VW does their emissions fix.

Complains about me being counter productive. While replying to a counter productive post, while being counter productive.Nailed it. Madness shouldn't be trying to blame you or hold you responsible for his mistakes. Hopefully he can resolve his issue and share the solution w/ us. The blame shifting and petty bickering is counterproductive.
I can see why Andrew doesn't want you in his shop ever again. Why not just man up and admit that you royally screwed the pooch on the hardware install? Just pay a real mechanic to fix it for you.Complains about me being counter productive. While replying to a counter productive post, while being counter productive.
Where did I say my problem is his fault?
