Re: can't boost past .8 bar...AVCR rev 2

hi folks, I'm thinking abut an another thing: may be the intake temperature sensor in my stock AFM is malfunctioning, and cause the problem. Because, when the engine is "cold" everything seem to be fine, after a few kilometers, the well know boost problem appear... My idle is sometimes qui...

Re: can't boost past .8 bar...AVCR rev 2

IIRC you need to go to the gears menu and set them all to X. That should do the job. The AVC-R will only adjust when you change the settings then. according to the f.... user manual the self learning mode is activated by the stard duty at 0% The learn gear menu (X or O) is also part of the game ?

Re: can't boost past .8 bar...AVCR rev 2

sounds like it could just be working off actuator pressure only.... No, because if i turn off the AVc-R, the spring actuator pressure is 0.4 bar have you def got the boost control solenoid plumbed in the right way round...you need to eliminate the possibility of faulty components.. -The solenoid is...
