So car feels like it may have a boost leak and after a trip to the track and never breaking past 15.01 at 92 mph I feel some thing is up! and seems not to pull the same.

only mode to car is ARP D/V after stock got stuck 2 times.
Also whats the stock boost with the ko4? and can any link to where I should hook up the boost gauge its been about 8 years since i hooked one to a 1.8t.

also what are common leak ares? and should I just put on a silicone hose kit? and inlet?

help would be great seeing i have lost touch and just mostly DD this ride

any leaks or other site tips would be great!

You will find one of these VERY useful.

Other places are the hoses off the charge pipe going to the N75 and the DV . It gets hot there and degrades the tubing. Also on AMU engines there is a troublesome fitting on the passenger end of the intake. Yours will be different but still worth checking there. Stock boost should be about 14-15 psi IIRC. Mine is APR chipped with a boost regulator from Modshack and runs 22-23 so I forget.
Good Luck. They are hard to find without the pressure tester.

no leaks btw
but why does the boost jump around so much ?

Maybe because you are shifting? lol

The video looks like everything is fine. You are boosting ~15 lbs, which is stock, you have a 15 second / 92 mph 1/4 time which is fine after looking at the way you shift in the video. Best you will do stock is ~14 seconds / 96+ mph.

I'd work on your shifting skills if you want to improve that 15 second time. Other than that... the car is not a fast car unless you want to drop a bigger turbo and a bunch of other things in it!

well this was a back road with slow shifting i was not lunching or shifting fast... and 15.01 at 92 mph some thing seemed up..
in 03 i was running a new GTI with nothing more then an intake and turbo back 3' was just as fast seem a bit odd to me
has any one seen a stock 225 run mid to low 14's ever?

well why does it drop off on top end ? was told this was due to programing.... this true? when i was running at the track it seem like there was no top end at 3rd and 4th
