jaysVR6 2 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Chips that come with chargers are notoriously troublesome, they are generic and do not compensate for the cars individual state of tune.IMO they are crap and nothing beats the flexibility of a custom map.

xyber 1 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 You dont want to dyno it again in that state mate, If I were you cheack with who you got it off what the psi is, if its putting out 8.5psi as has been said you will need water injection, new injectors, id be tempted to fit an oil cooler and the a remapcheaps option for you at the moment is to try and get a lower psi pulley is it is blowing more than 6psi, then Ring Vince and ask him about posting him your ECU as he may have a map on file that is suitableThe OBDI map wont work in your OBD2 Link to post Share on other sites
Phat VR6 3 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I wouldn't think so bud.. The ecus might even be different.. Geeza that you brought the chip off might have been running it round like that without even knowing.. Depends if he ever put it on the rolling road Link to post Share on other sites

gkjnr 0 Posted March 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 right the next question is ,will it be safe to drive around in til i have the cash to sort it? also if i can get a set of red injectors would that help the problem? where would i get red ones from do any other vw,s use them?

xyber 1 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 So longs as you keep it strictly below 4000rpm it SHOULD be ok, if you do have an 8psi setup you will need injectors and a remap, if you have a 6psi setup the map should sort itIf you do need injectors, search for a shop on ebay called sprayit racing (in USA), mail them and tell then you need redtops for a charged VR, they'll post them up for you to but it now, he's very helpful and they price is about £130 with the current rates and that inc P&P, then you may have a small customs fee to pay once they reach you, but still about half the cpst of buying them over here Link to post Share on other sites
