Re: overboost issue. getting depressed lol.

right. not done the bolt thing yet. just haven't had time. but have recently gained a mityvac and have measured the movement on the arm.... the absolute very first twitch on the arm is at 3in.hg and it hits the stop around 15in.hg. dunno if that says anything? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

may I just ask... in the interest of gaining knowledge and understanding.

Re: overboost issue. getting depressed lol.

VNT was cleaned. moved as smooth as anything I was there whilst it was done by a fellow passat owner/mechanic. and the actuator is a brand new darkside one. but the overboost preceeds the work that has been done. I've done all the work listed purely to try and fix the overboost Sent from my SM-G935F...

Re: overboost issue. getting depressed lol.

Could be the map sensor. Do you have a boost gauge on the car ?. MAF's don't give you excessive boost. N75 problems , VNT sticking causes Boost issues. What happens if you pull the vacuum pipe off the turbo actuator , block it and take it for a drive. map is brand new buddy. and genuine Sent from m...
