MK6 2.4 TDDI output test / Turbo cartridge

[ned]

If it's any help, once spooled up i.e. as soon as it started to pull properly, my Mk6 120 would show full boost (1.2Bar) and drop back to ~ 0.6Bar at cruise.

Yours may show a lower figure if a lower PS van, plus I increased mine from 1Bar max. When it split the manifold it would only show just under 1Bar.

You have to wait for your turbo to spool up I don't have that problem I see between 10 - 20 psi of boost depending on how I drive. N

Ah but you don't have to drive fast to drive like a tw@t I'm in a van so I'm coming out of this junction whether you like it or not

It also says fill with fuel but I don't like doing that, fuel gauge roulette anyone N

It was pretty good really, with the EGR blank and a Vantuner map it would give full boost from 1200ish, actually nicer to pootle round town in than the mk7 140 as it was shorter geared. 3000@70 on the motorway got a bit tedious mind, the 140 cracks that in 4th halfway down the sliproad should be entertaining when mapped and 70 limiter removed.

Filled mine yesterday, squeezed £90 into it and it's only just dipped under 1/4 tank!
In 1999 I imported my smiley van from NZ back to the UK.
When I filled it up in NZ it used to cost me a 10th of my weekly wage.
Back in the UK I filled up and it cost me a 1/4 of my weekly wage! Don't get me started on insurance!!!!!

Back now, well for a bit anyway.....

insurance do take the piss and its all about your occupation/job

then it either put you in lower or higher risk

am in higher risk for having the job i have

its all bollocks

if goes up again this year £400 like it does every year am changing insurer but will other insurance companies give me what my current one does

and road tax £235 a year

Thanks, Ken

It looks about right - however I got the one from TunnelRat with a different USB-UART chip (Silicon Labs instead of FTDI) and can confirm it works a charm!

PS: To get 500K speeds working, you have to use ELMConfig to set the connection speed in firmware - ForScan can't modify this setting. Once you've used ELMConfig to change the connection speed it will work fine in ForScan at the higher speed (at least the TunnelRat part does).
