ORIGINAL: tip5

Sounds like your ecu is pulling back timing.. What software are you running?
GIAC software... Forge 007 DV

hmm then you should be okay. But i had that problem with my other audi and we came to the conclusion that my software was too aggressive and it pulled back timing.

ya its starting to do it more often now.. me and my girl were out looking at houses.. and whenever i try to give it some stick.. it would stutter out.. also my boost seems to be boosting fine..but doesnt feel like there is any power even at 16psi.. ??

ignition issue? plugs ? coilpack?

want to try and pinpoint it without taking it to the local Euro Shop

Have you tried swapping your springs in your DV? I noticed a huge difference when I swapped springs. With the blue spring I had no hesitation whatsoever but could only boost at 15PSI @ WOT.

ya i have been running the blue.. still am.. ?? would a vaccuum leak cause this? the braided line on the end of my DV is frayed but not broken.. i am boosting fully though???

if the DV was stuck or something of that sort.. it would cause these conditions? fully boost but without all the power?

If the dv was stuck you would be boosting a **** ton but probably not showing it at all, or bossting a **** ton and seeing a **** ton but when you let off the gas it would surge

I run the green... you'll feel a big diff if you switch to the green. But, that shouldn't be your problem then as the blue is stiffer.

ya i tried the yellow spring with the same result.. its less stiff then blue.. but more stiff than green..

i just checked my plugs.. and had some oil in my #1 plug/cylinder.. #'s 2-4 were perfect.. i dont think thats my problem.. but just something else i need to check into.. im guessing just a bad seal... ill have pics up in a few.. gonna go back out and run a check on my DV.. thinking of throwing the 710N back in.. but dont wanna mess with the little POS braided vaccuum line..

If thats the vaccume line I think your talking about, I had to replace mine. It goes from the op of the DV to the manifold? I got a 3ft one from the dealer for $15. Its not that unreasonably priced.

well i put my 710N back in and that seemed to solve ALL my problems... i think that the Forge was not closing/opening smoothly.. upon inspection it seemed that one of the O-Rings in the inside coming out of place.. i hope this can be fixed by putting some more grease/lube in there to make it smooth again..

only had the damn thing like 2-3 weeks [:@]
