This AWD MK4 VR6 Turbo fights to make power

Not only is this VR6 Turbo charged, it's also all wheel drive as well. We try to work through boost control, dialing in the W/M setup, and plenty of other hurtles to see just how much horsepower it can make. We did the AWD conversion in this MK4 Jetta a few years back, however the main reason the vehicle is in this time is for some trouble shooting and to make more power.
This footage is captured over a few months as it took lots of time to hammer out the possible issues to try and make the power it's supposed to.

[@COMotorsports]

[@thiagorangel1332]

Hey man what’s up, love the awd vrt! I want to give you a suggestion to help you solve the low power issue on that car. Every time you did a pull I could hear the DV valve surging going shhh shhh shhh. That means that the spring or adjustment is too soft for the boost level and volume of air. I can almost guarantee that it is also lifting slightly during boost and allowing precious power to scape and capping how much power you are making. Try plugging it and doing a run to see if anything changes. Good luck and keep up the great work!

[@COMotorsports]

Appreciate the feedback, it's very possible the DV is opening slightly up top but the major issue with it was the intake/maf setup, as you can see in the video. Thanks for the insight. 👍👍

[@jeancharlesrabaux5658]

Yeeeee 4wd so good job seur

[@aRYANz88]

That first pull you made sounded really strong. Even for 310 initially it sounded well and good. She definitely has some life left. I always like to boost leak test up to the pressure im running. Because testing at 10 psi, it might hold well, but once you get to 15-20 and above it'll leak. That way im not guessing. good job though. Id defiantly be happy with your work if that was my car.

[@COMotorsports]

Thanks, we knew it wasn't a boost leak. As it would take all the boost I could feed it. It was the oscillation, and erratic behavior which was the problem.

@Jayme Fortune as seen in the video. It did.

[@alexiangelatos2116]

You guys should look into using a Cortex EBC (electronic boost controller). . Way better then that apexi. It laptop tuneable will do boost by gear, boost by rpm and has inputs and outputs. Can directly log Afr boost etc. Can also fully control the watermeth. It’s awesome on a chip tuned Vr6. On my promaf 630 tune on my Vr6 I could easily control boost and afr to make mid 500whp on my mk3 Vrt.

[@COMotorsports]

Thanks the apexi will do boost per gear and boost per rpm as well. They work good and can be had for cheap these days. This car however likely has standalone in its future so all that stuff will be sold and controlled strictly by the ECU.

MAF voltage peaked out?? time for SD ? Also, I wonder what the exhaust back pressure looks like. Is the IAT at the intake filter and not after the intercooler? Also, /wave @ gopro! lol

I'd say a combination of airflow turbulence over sensor and surging due to choking the turbo out with the smaller intake. This size MAF is used on plenty of cars making more power than this.

i have a 24v vr6 with about 80k miles on the motor. it’s stock for the most part besides a tune and intake. i plan on getting a Techtonics Tuning 2” downpipe and porting the stock manifolds. After that, the cams will come. From there, i’m not sure what else to do without forced air induction. if i build a vrt or even supercharged, i would still want it to be as reliable as a daily. how possible is that? i’ll be perfectly happy with 300-400hp, if that’s what will keep me reliable. but if i can hit 500-600 and be just as reliable, that’s even better. any suggestions?

[@COMotorsports]

Turbo setups can and will be reliable as long as you put the right parts on it. Build it with junk and it will be junk, skimp on the tune and it will be junk. The only reason turbo setups get a bad wrap is because it's so easy to make more power with them. So people get greedy and push beyond what they're parts are capable of.

Depends on what you're doing with the car, the weight of the car, what tires are on it, and what trans you're referring too. If it's a street car, then most cases with street tires either the 02M/Q or 02A/J will handle it as the tires just spin.

[@COMotorsports]

We have a series doing it on a mk5 GTI TSI which is exactly the same. However yes, we have a mk6 one coming in soon for an AWD conversion. We'll film some of it but it won't be nearly as detailed as the current one mk5 we've filmed.

You need to tell people more of what your doing and changing all you said was maf houseing was the problem but not if it was a bad sensor or wrong size housing or wrong sensor or nothing

[@COMotorsports]

We don't want to lead people on a goose hunt, as every scenario brings its own problems. Were just sharing some of what goes on around the shop when tuning these things.

[@COMotorsports]

But to answer your question the entire intake was the problem as you can see in the video as we changed it, not the sensor itself.

if this was on standalone and hade e85 itd be alot closer to 500

In most cases I would agree 100% however the turbo is still trash on this one so that would be the real issue even with better fuel and control.

Wouldn’t have been cheaper and better in the long run to just swap in a pnp Lugtronic setup? I know it provides content ... but why the hell would the customer struggle for 6 months and all those dyno runs and your time just end up where it was 15+ years ago... ?

[@COMotorsports]

We're a Lugtronic dealer, also MK4 PnP harness stopped being made years ago from what we're aware. The customer didn't struggle for 6 months, the car worked exactly as it did when it came... perfectly fine at the 300ish whp range. We were just trying to make more power and tuned it when we had the time to do it. As mentioned this is a friend car.

[@turbo-everything4278]

@@COMotorsports On the Lugtronic website it’s listed $1595 usd. I think also that turbo is too small. Thanks for the video though. 👍🏻 I’m just a dumbass on the Internet haha

[@COMotorsports]

​@@turbo-everything4278 Just because it's listed there doesn't mean it's easily obtainable. Again we're a Lugtronic dealer and have been for nearly a decade... we run it in our drag car, and I've sold Lug MK4 pnp kits in the past. It's just not as simple as you think to get your hands on that specific setup. Other vehicles yes... MK4 not so much. As for the turbo I agree, but as mentioned it was built a very long time ago... by the owner. Things have changed in the past 10 years compared to what people run on these now a days. Side note though... the owner has a taste for power and looks like new turbo and standalone of some sort is on deck for next season.
