i have just bought abuilt 90 tsi awd and i have a problem. every time i hit 22lbs of boost and put the clutch into shift andthe rpm's drop down to idle (1000 i know its too high) and it drops below and stalls. i do not know if it is because it is venting. the car has dsm link and has supposedly been tuned by the last owner. anyone know what could be causing it to stall?

 

VENTING!!!. Thats exactly what it is. What kinda BOV do you have? What kinda tuning device do you have?

 

i have dsm link loaded on estraws computer and the car is equipped witht the cable forit. I have a greddy type sbov set all the way on hard. i have not messed with any of these settings yet but i do know i need and can tune with the help of woody. how would you tune it to prevent the stalling

 

well what happens is when you let off the gas, your car is going extremely rich. What you have to do is lean out the low throttle, low rpm condition. The perminant and better way to do it is to get a recirc kit of the greddy bov.

 

x2 I bet it is a vented BOV. woody if that is the case you know better than to allow him to make a post here for that hahahaha

 

i know, i told him that it needs to be recircd within 5 seconds of seeing the car. he has link so i thought it would be ok but i guess not. and coury i found the problem with the tach so you can return the other one.

 

as long as he is using a MAS than it will never be ok. it will always stumble but a good tune will minimize is some but still not worth the horrible drive IMO

 

yeah still a mass, a gm one.

 

aw crap even worse. So thats why its vented then, because hes on a MAFT setup? I would think he wouldnt really have the problems if hes on the GM setup, but ive heard tuning with that is a bitch. That would be another thing to get rid of.

 

i took a quick glance and i didnt find a translator but i cant look at the car till monday so ill post back.
