B8's are heaven. Don't look too old - don't look too new. Get yourself one, you won't regret! I guess you guys only have petrol's in the US but if you get your hands on a 3L diesel you'll not regret either. 450hp and near 900nm torque on those beasts.
You must have a boost leak somewhere.... stock I get 12-13 psi, heck I've even seen 14 a few times. Even with a stage 1 you should be low 20s for boost. If you have a larger intercooler that would drop it by maybe 1-3psi depending on the size but definitely not down to what its shown here. I would maybe reach out to IE and send them a log and they may be able to tell ya what's going on in if its a issue with the tune or if its a leak. Best of luck man!
Thanks. I noticed there’s a difference in the boost depending on the gear I’m in first and second I get 14-16 psi but if I go higher in gears doing a pull it goes up to 18 sometimes 19 psi
Also noticed the power seemed to have dropped since I first did the tune but I’ve had the battery disconnected a few times and it seems like some of the tune features disappeared so I’ll pry try to reflash it at some point as well
I just got the IE tune stage 1 on my car as well. It's funny you mentioned about the power steering as mine makes a slight whining sound now after the tune. Also I've been peaking around 18-20 psi.
@@sturgisspeedshop7307 hmm.. seems a bit low for boost. I’m also on IE stage 2 and I use the car scanner app connected via OBD2 which has a profile specific to the 2.0 CAEB engine and can read things straight from the ECM. In my app the measurements are in hPa but converted to psi and the vacuum factored in I’m getting about 22-24 peak psi
Tap into something that is NOT on without the ignition on. For example dash cams need to be connected to an 'always on' fuse for recording while parked. Don't connect your boost gauge to that. Connect to something that is on while ignition is on.
I love your car bro

Where did you hook the line up to
Hey what intercooler are you using or what one would you recommend? I have a 2009 2.0T Quattro and I wanna get it started as my project soon
Integrated engineering intercooler Highly recommend
Are you on stock tune?
No it’s integrated engineering stage two tuned

What exhaust are you using
Integrated engineering downpipe and mid pipe and just a custom exhaust from a local shop for the rest of it
@@sturgisspeedshop7307 Do you guys in the US have any noise regulations or just do whatever you wanna do?
Does it matter where u plug in the wire adaptor in the fuse box ?
Not really I usually try to use one that’s empty

Why isn’t it reading vacuum??
Not quite sure I’m guessing it has to do with that I tapped into the intercooler instead of one of the little vacuum/boost lines
But I guess if you're only worry about boost pressure, that should be fine...
It need to be tapped to the intake manifold (between the throttle body and the cylinder head inlets) to get vacuum and boost reading.
@@sturgisspeedshop7307 Best is to tap into intake manifold(if exists, after EGR valve). You'll get the best reading possible.
Auto pls buy manual car nextym
Do these even exist in manual in the USA? I think not... we Europeans are spoiled.
