Vag 1.8t boost control setup help needed

new plugs same issue, will try to change latter for newer style cop with built in amplifier, have them in garage just need to find connectors.

Do you still have those with external power generator? That is sitting in intake somewhere? That one likes to brake. I would advise you the TFSI ones. NGK 5014 or something.

Look what EMU black software gives you as preset to choose in coils. If you need help with wiring you can tell me. I did that recently. If you change: donā€™t forget to take out the external power generator in the intake.

Ah. Sorry. Read it too late. :smile:

hi evening so . i build and drive vw 1.8t 20v for a living . this is my opinion . you have 1 of 2 things
1 the rubber turbo inlet pipe is sucking closed as they get old they become soft . to test remove the turbo in let pipe .
2 you have valve float > meaning that the valve springs are week and donā€™t keep closed very common on the exhaust side. on old 1.8 t engines or exhaust blockage

can you please tell me all the hardware mods on the car

hi,
Tnx for answers but this is not my case, car before had more boost without problems. I have problems with spark. 100%. Changed coils now all good.

New style cop and new spark plugs installed, no problems so far.
