boost problem.....again
tony_danza:
Pretty much yeah.
My mate used to do it with his R32 after weekday commuting had made it go to sleep, it was an animal once reset and thrashed for a few minutes.

really!! sounds promising as it only really started once i got back from my 3 week boat trip. and it was fine the day before i left when i was running at the pod. this actually sounds promising. :smiley:

Can't hurt.
Back in the day, when AmD wasn't anything to do with BBT they offered this all singing, all dancing stage 2 kit for the MKIV R32 remap/induction/Milltek & Sportcats/etc cost a bloody fortune.
Anyway, one of the Golf mags held a 1/4 mile shoot out and he rocked up in his R32 and lined up with all these other modded N/A cars they'd sourced. Stage 2s, cams and all other manner of things... but no chargers/turbos. He pulled the battery, shoved a few bottles of octane booster in, would the timing forward with VAGCOM and took it for a spin up and down the straight.... and absolutely monstered every car there.
£20 and a 15 minutes work battered thousands of pounds worth of mods, there were some very annoyed customers complaining as you can imagine.

soulds like fun, you think if we all disconted our batterys and went for a drive all our cars would be quicker :signLOL:
tony_danza:
I don't know if I can bothered resetting the clock!.. but it's a good place to start if its feeling sluggish and there's no codes, then the MAF next.
That is a funny story, but I don't think it applies to every car??
That animal was just a wrong-un from day 1, it left Germany with a bad attitude and got hammered every day of its life. The only running in it got was the 5 minutes on tickover in the VW compound! Everyone says there's Friday cars and 1:xxx special ones, that was deffo a special. So, never race a 3 door black R32 just in case!!
