Saves me a bill from OPC asking them to check the boost if it is already correct though!
Leading evidence: 'Check boost if it is already correct though' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check boost if it is already correct though' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi all
As above really - I am getting no more than 0.6 bar most of the time with my car, since the OPC carried out some repairs. I do occasionally see 0.7 bar, but mostly, it peaks through the gears at 0.6.
Is this correct? Or is the car underboosting as I suspect?
Thanks all
JJ
i think 0.8 is the max for a std car, and thats MAX......so you wouldn't see it that often.
does it feel slow? if you didn't have a gauge you wouldn't worry about it.
No turbo feels slow, but the boost being achieved appears lower than prior to some rectification works, but it is difficult to tell for sure.
The problem is that the previous fault related to the car overboosting (achieving 1.2bar then backing off!). Prior to this fault, the car would peak and hold between 0.7 and 0.8 bar, which to my mind is the correct level for the car.
I take your point about the gauge, but unless the gauges are known for being unreliable, I would have expected the car to achieve a minimum of 0.7 in most conditions.
Thanks for input :mrgreen:

Hi Dave
Mine is the standard car. From what you say, the car is as it should be then.
Good to know - just doesnt feel quite as nippy as she did prior to overboosting fault.

James,
I have a 2001 standards tt and I get 0.6 max, spikes to 0.7 and if I believe correctly I think I saw 0.8 one or two times.
but from what you telling me sounds pretty much like mine.
Hope it helps
James if you want more poke then get it remapped. On the turbo cars it makes a hell of a difference. Mine is now boosting to 1.0/1.1 although the gauge did show 1.4 this lunchtime momentarily when I came off the gas.
Thanks for all the input guys - good to know that it is correct. I have considered getting her remapped, but I wanted to be sure that she was correct before going any further.
