<![CDATA[Problem with dsm.....lol]]>I just got a 90' tsi awd and i seam to have a problem. When i get on it it boosts fine then will boost/fuel cut really bad at like 5 grand. i'm going to hook up an aftermarket boost gauge to see if it is boosting to much. also i have a whining comeing from around the transfer case or trans when driving at higher rpms like 3500 an up it gets louder. some help would be great. I have never owned a dsm befor so i'm kinda lost...

coughs...."KABOOM" is what Id be worried about.

I would assume it is whinning for the same reason most transmissions do when they hit that sort of "I've been beat the hell out of for the first 100,000 miles of my life and now my time has come to spew tranny fluid and metal shavings all over the open road."

Matt was getting horrible fuel cut in the DSM. The oh so reliable DSM boost gauge was telling him that he was getting fuel cut at only 7 psi so, we swapped in an aftermarket boost gauge and first gear spiked to 20 psi then held steady at 18 then in second gear the boost gauge ran all the way to 25 psi which is where he started getting fuel cut. According to the OEM gauge he was at 7 psi when this happened. And now we have the answer of bad wastegate. He is getting a new one to run the factory boost level (whatever the hell it is...I've heard 6 9 and 12) which is what he wants.

The whole thread is filled with sarcasm and it appears that not too many people are catching it. 🙂

wastegate won't get you more fuel. Any idea what kind of AFR numbers you are running? Besides, 25psi on a stock turbo probably is a stupid idea, at some point all turbos run out of efficiency and just become huge heat pumps (this isn't a good thing) I dunno what the magic number is for DSM's, but I'm guessing 25psi is across that line.

For more fuel look to a walbro Fuel Pump and some aftermarket injectors...and an SAFC or some other sort of fuel computer along with a wideband O2 to properly tune this thing.

I'm guessing he just wants it to be stock...the wastegate obviously isnt opening at all...or if any just barely

Well they are but still, 25 psi on stock fuel... Try that on any other car...
