Making progress/How to post logs

**highPSI-S4** · 08-24-2008 07:56 AM

So i've battled boost leaks for while and i was being lazy with logging but wanted my car to perform. Me and another member (AAAA)were checking my car last night for boost leaks, But heard alot of air coming through my MBC. I remembered having a code for an EGT: p1454 EGT sensor short to ground. The also remembered taping up some wires and thought those are the EGT wires, so we untaped them and the wires were frayed bad

. We made an atempt to solder them. And took it for a drive and the car sputtered and struggled to make 13-15psi mind you i'm stage 2+. On the way to work today i decided to try and log for boost and misfires but i want to post them, how do i go about this?

also i erased the codes and when i go WOT now it doesn't sputter but boost is only at 15psi. What else/what blocks should i log to find out what's going on so i can post and maybe someone can read them for me.

Also with my car idling my vaccum is still around 16-17hg how can this be?
would i hear a leak during the pressure test? and i should log everything during 3rd gear pulls correct?

hey man.... with VAG com log blocks 115 for boost, and then log 002 which will give you MAF readings... log them ONE at a time so VAG com can get as much as possible. Start a 3rd gear pull at like 2000-2500 and let it climb to at least 6500 RPM. when collecting data you want to take the longest run possible to get as much data as you can

the best way to post a document is go to GOOGLE... type in the search, google documents... then proceed to make an account if you dont already have a gmail acct.... (you can use that user name) otherwise go make an acct. then upload the file from google docs, you will see how easy it is to just upload it then it tells you how to share it by providing you a link. post the link... that way people can just click it and see it in full form...

THAT OR just email me the file and i will do everything i just said for you

oh and the idle vacuum can be a few things, either a boost leak obviously OR, whats your intake setup? if you have a stock setup (airbox, MAF and accordion) it will be 19-21... If you've changed it to an open element that is very possible that it is lower like that

Thankyou Mike.

Yeah i'll see what i can get tommorrow. I'll try a pull on the way to work.
hopefully i can get some answers but your the only one to comment on this thread, so i'll just have to post the logs and see who helps me.

see!! this is why i said that was so weird that driving its normal but at idle its acting stupid. this is probably why. so you have not leaks and should be good to go there. now we have to worry about your egt, plugs, and other shit.

^^ I know, it all relies on that EGT. I have new spider hoses, the tech also swapped out some ICMS which could also play a role in this, the plugs are new, and i have 4 fairly new(40miles on them) coilpacks,also within the last 40,000 miles EGT, and o2 sensors have benn replaced. all should check out except that frayed EGT wire we soldered. But the EGT code hasn't come back yet just getting p0300 and p0302 codes for misfires.
