Slight Dilemma...

[Ramzi]

I am in no way bored of my B7 A4, but I would like more power. I've been planning on getting a Stage 1 APR tune on my car, although about a month ago I got an error code saying low turbo pressure (I dont know the code # off the top of my head), but I haven't noticed any power loss. I took it to my mechanic and he replaced the diverter valve, and I am still getting the code. He said there is no problem if I continue to drive the car, although if I want to fix it I would either have to replace the turbo or do a rebuild.

Anyways the point I am trying to get to is, should I get the tune with the error code, or should I just fix the turbo and get the tune later on.

Thanks,


Here's a quick pic of my car. Think I should plasti dip my rims anthracite grey and tint my windows?

I don't have any good info to input because I'm mostly a lurker and I learn about my car as it breaks lol. But I like the color of your car. My 98 Audi was the same color and I had 15% tints on mine. I called it the Doomship. ;D I say do the tints because it'll look really nice with your color combo.

Did he test the N75?

you should find out what the code is and post it, best way to get help around here.

Does your car have a diverter valve spacer, by chance?

My guess is an underboost code from a torn DV.

Edit: Just noticed DV already replaced. I should learn to read better.

The N75 valve/waste gate might be leaking the boost. Try and see if that is the issue

Definitely fix the turbo issue. Is there's a problem with your turbo, the Stage 1 tune will only cause its failure sooner. You have to get your stage 0 squared away before moving on to stage 1 mods. Good luck. First mod IMO would be to lower it. If your short on cash go with H&R springs with stock shocks. It will make much more of a visual difference then tint or plastidip wheels.

I just had my turbo rebuilt by borg warner for $300. Definitely get the windows tinted, leave the wheels unless getting professional painted, drop it on some lowering springs.

i got a code for low boost pressure once before and it was caused by a plugged up air filter. change the filter and see how it goes.

as for tunes, you can't go wrong with the stage 1. no need for any extra parts. i noticed the largest performance gains with the stage 1. i have 2+ now.
