We need a little more info.
Do you mean .4 bar & .8 bar?
HUGE difference - As in more acceleration?
What changes have you made? (boost controller?)
It could be just a blown off hose to the stock boost controller.

well the boost problem isnt in a bad way i checked all the lines when i bought the car it boosted .4 bar creeping to .5 and now that i went over the entire car changed lines **** like that i boost .8 bar creep to almost 1.0 bar i just dont want to blow my motor from over boosting ive been enjoying the car greatly with no problems just every now and then blow off vacuum lines from to much boost but ive fixed most of it with tie strap things
any idea?

. If you are creeping that is. I would think you would have already done that however. Also I would change over to S5 turbo if possible, much better at controlling boost creep in stock form, better wastegate design.Trending Topics

The problem with boosting that high is your at the extreme limits of the stock fuel system.
I'm sure you have see this many time on the forum.
I too was seduced by the extra power of a free flowing exhaust - then pingety ping ping pop! (wounded engine)
You too can have a J-spec in your sig..
