Squalo- you have some of the most informative videos for this car and this engine. Thank you for dedicating lots of your time to trying to help people. When the hammer doesn’t work get a bigger hammer.

[@squalo777videos]

+MrTTqUaTtRo thank yoy so much man that really means a lot

[@JDMGUYTA22]

Love his accent and his explanations lol. I’m having the same problem but the wastegate flapper opens up freely, so I think my problem is the wastegate it’s self. Thanks for the explanations, I’ve learned something from this guy hehehe. Awesome vid.

[@brianjames723]

Big up, and thanks bro. I went through all of the same steps after the exact boost symptoms and now I'm ready to go to the actuator or wastegate sticking problems.

[@bigchopper14]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 "So i just hit it with hamer" Quote of the day...🤣🤣🤣

[@ImranAli-ko7ik]

THANKS MAN and appreciate you explaining in detail

[@MrTstuart23]

Thank you sir! This help ALOT!!

[@austinfeathers7773]

Thanks for the video I almost bought a n75 today then did more research though it was because of the maf sensor from being dirty and not reading air correctly but I did pull on my waste gate actuator and it was really tight so gonna try that in the morning hopefully this works

[@shauncadet4601]

im having the same exact issue...im gonna check it...thanx

[@jaysonbuitrago90]

Dam man where you from I’d love for you to look at my car been having so many boost problems, gonna have to try this next... great vid

Thank you too! my friend

[@witchking3306]

Bro ....you had me Rollin....my side hurts 👍🤣🇺🇲

[@helencastro122]

"a little, a little, a little" 😂lol thanks for the video mine seems to be doing the same thing I just ordered the Hitachi E ignition coil pack thinking it may be the coil pack because it was misfiring ... but that doesn't explain the why my boost gauge is acting weird. When the throw off valve is disconnected it seems to run fine no choking or car wanting to shut off. That is the issue I'm having it chokes, and when at a stop will turn off on its own. The check engine light also turned on for a P0411 and a P0237. Would that be the cause, the wastegate valve? Because it's not on for the misfire I previously had.

When you did this to the waste gate what was going on with it cause I have a 01 Wolfsburg jetta it sounds like my turbo is working but it feels like I have no boost I hear the turbine or whatever humming but it just seems like I have no get up

[@Sweettoothb6]

Hey man great videos is there by any chance you have done a video on swapping out the turbo I need to do mine and can't find a good video

[@marcosquirino6868]

chido el video mi carro tien lo mismio

[@DoctorWonka]

I seem to have the same problem. No boost, and the lever feels stuck. Thanks!

[@danielgutierrezmartinez7373]

buen video bro, la tuerca se tiene que enroscar mas o desenroscar? no la de abajo ovbio si no la de arriba. quiero hacer eso a mi jetta que tambein desdd 3ra en 4mil rpm baja el boost y en 4ta tambein lo hace..

[@inthepocket9136]

Wait so to increase the psi you just turn that little nut closer or further from the wastegate??

[@Sweettoothb6]

I habe a problem where my car doesnt hold all 15psi drops to 10 or 9 on high rpm and before it would hold the 15 to 13psi and i did a n249 before and it felt good for a week after that i had the issue any idea and i put the 249 v back and i also replase my intake maifold

[@motovloging9467]

i unhook my n75 to wastegate hose still boosts the same doesn't overboost so thinking my wastegate is sticking i have not taken it apart yet but i can seem to move it by hand mabey not far enough

[@bobbyallen7510]

if this fixes a problem ive spent HUNDREDS! trying to figure out im giving you my left kidney sir, THANK YOU!

[@rushi32400]

i’m having this same problem. my car would only boost to 5psi and then start sputtering and would sound like it’s going to backfire. i changed the n75 and cleaned up the diverter. i’m going to see if it’s the wastegate

[@DeHart_outdoors]

which k04 001 did you go with?

[@cozeewhipz5548]

what brand ko4?

[@226sickology]

What turbos came in the beetle turbo s

[@bernwon9622]

I have a boost problem but when i boost (Stock 10psi), it will hold 10 for a few second and then itll start lagging and sputtering and then goes into limp mode at 5psi (sometimes 0psi).. I was told its my vacuum lines because they are old and when the engine warms up all the hoses shrink when moving lots of air and cant support the 10psi. I ordered new hoses i hope thats the damn problem ahah

[@luisalfredo8547]

cual es dl problema a te hacia el carro mi carro esta con stagd y sube a 23 psi y mientra va revolucionandl va bajando las libra de boost

[@heressmile7581]

my boost drops from 20 psi to 10... up and down... not 0 tho.. did n75 valve and still same problem, my waste gate actuator was hella tightened down by previous owner and I put back to stock but still same problem,....

[@fockyoumang]

I ordered that K04-001 turbo for the seat skoda cupra 1.8 T AWP from eBay because I didn't want to change the Billy Bass downpipe and exhaust. How much boost are you running? everyone gets the arp k04 or f22 Franken turbo

[@fockyoumang]

There's supposed to be another bolt on the other side of the wastegate actuator. both sides

[@squalo777videos]

No it's no a bolt those are the lines for the coolant, it's going to be a pain in the ass taking the tiubo out, try not to break anything when I took mine out I couldn't do it by myself someone has to be holding the Turbo while the other person takes the bolts from the coolant hoses

[@squalo777videos]

All of those are good the price is that change everything I can't really spend 2500+ for the Apr thts why I went for the k04 001 lol

[@shawn6128]

When you were having the issue did you have a rattling kind of pinging noise as well? I’ve changed the diverter valve, n75, checked for leaks with soapy water. Put NGk Bk6re copperplugs and got rid of platinum.Pcv valve and all hoses. Great video. I know this is old so if someone knows please help

[@squalo777videos]

Yes I did

[@oscarceja8740]

hey squalo777, great video carnal, i have a 1.8 t with a repro, it´s doing 225 hp, it has the stock turbo the k03, if i move that nut all the way down you think my k03 will make more boost?

[@squalo777videos]

+Oscar Ceja yes it will, when you move the nut your actually opening the wastegate more

[@squalo777videos]

+Oscar Ceja yes hahaha sorry you actually closing the wastegate so it dont bleed no air through the exhaust

[@oscarceja8740]

hahaha thanks for making that claer bro my brain was running data so fast to try to understand what happend hahahaha i felt like when somebody tell u santa claus doesn't exist hahahaha

[@squalo777videos]

+Oscar Ceja hahahaha😂😂😂 i dont even know what im saying anymore i need to watch my video again to understand more about the wastegate lol haha 😂

[@oscarceja8740]

LMAO HAHAHAHAHA

[@vr6hgp222]

Are you pushing boost higher ore lower in this video :)

[@robertosolicari7552]

hola hermano , tengo un jetta mk4.5 1.8t y hace poco le instalamos intake apr y filtro simota , esta casi stock , después de instalarlo un amigo hizo lo mismo que tu en el video con las tuercas para incrementar boost ......... me preocupa que se pueda dañar el turbo o el motor por ese incremento desconocido de boost. tu que opinas ? gracias

[@squalo777videos]

+Roberto Solicari no le afecta en nada solo ganas de 2 a 3 psi bueno menos como unos 6 jajaja

[@rbnz2067]

hello, just have exactly the same problem, after 4000 rpm boost drops and boost get up. i will check my wastegate ! thanks

[@squalo777videos]

+R-Gaming thaks dor watching bro

[@vr6hgp222]

Rbn do you find the fail?

[@Prolabworks]

hey Squalo , nickel grease on ur finger, and on actuator arm and on whole exhaust manifold hmmm? Am i right?

[@camlewis2586]

Did you have to remove the turbo to free the waste gate?

[@squalo777videos]

+Cam Lewis not really bro it just takes time to get it out

[@poisondaddy]

hey bro! one question. what should I do first? bigger turbo or chip it?

[@squalo777videos]

+Immortan Jo3 turbo then chip

[@poisondaddy]

squalo777 videos what else should I upgrade with the turbo? intercooler? anything else? thanks brother, love the vida

[@poisondaddy]

squalo777 videos what else should I upgrade with the turbo? intercooler? anything else? thanks brother, love the vids

[@squalo777videos]

+Immortan Jo3 i dont recommend intercooler just do a better diverter valve and exhaust after turbo exhaust and dv do the ecu

[@bigdoinks5139]

I have a stock ko3 and it won’t flutter

[@SquillyMon]

Grease will NOT get down into where you are trying to grease.... Only oil will get in there from the outside... If you take it apart you might be able to properly grease that shaft. Otherwise youre just putting grease on the outside of your wastegate.

[@LuckySyke]

Hit it with a hammer.. 10/10 xD

[@josebob9211]

Saludos, buenos videos, mi boost guague se mueve de 15-20 psi, sube y baja, seria el mismo problema, el del wastegate?

[@squalo777videos]

+jose bob puede ser aunk tambien puede ser una fuga de aire

[@jasoncameron34]

+squalo777 videos hello i was wondering if you have to do anything when you upgrade to the ko4 i have an 02 jetta 1.8t awp with the stock k03 do you have to do a tune? and great videos btw really helps

[@squalo777videos]

+Jason Cameron the only thing you would have to modify is the intel hose for the turbine buy one that will fit the k04 or get somebody to make it bigger i pay 40 to make mine to fit the k04

[@jasoncameron34]

+squalo777 videos thank you very much I appreciate the fast response and you talking about the inlet pipe or the exhaust side?

[@squalo777videos]

No bro the intel follow your intake to the turbo its going to be the one connected to the turbo turbine not the one that goes to the intercooler

[@jfjfpozuelos]

squalo pagina de face? q acabo de cambiar de turbo de un k03s a un k04-002 pero no paso den11psi ni moviendo la wastegate ni haciendo lo del diodo en el map del intercooler

[@squalo777videos]

Pagina the face esta en la pagina pruncipal de mi you tube, cuantos psi hacia con el k03??

[@jfjfpozuelos]

+squalo777 videos cuando tenía el ko3s bno tambien tenia otra compu con repro boosteaba 19 psi mira mis videos en mi pagina ahi esta como corria mi carro ahora q cambie ecu y cambie turbo no pasa de 6psi en primera y de 8 psi en segunda y tercera para arriba 11psi y no pasa. ya le movi la wastegate ya le puse el diodo en el map y nada ya probe anulando pa n75 y nada no funciona

[@squalo777videos]

Lo mismo paso con el mio despues de cambiarle la ecu pero el mio nonpasaba de 10psi le anule la n75 pero sin desconectarla para ber si haci tiraba mas psi pork deberia y ne daba lo mismo en el mio termino siendo la n75 pero recuerda k tiene k ber mucho la computadora si la nueva que le pusistes no tiene ningun software, no ba a importar si le pones un turbo mas grande solo teba a permitir correr el carro a las opciones de fabrica espero k esto te ayude

[@jaredreynolds4935]

[@jaredreynolds4935]

I need help with my car it runs like crap, do u have kick

[@squalo777videos]

What's wrong man? What are the symptoms? tell the doctor

[@jaredreynolds4935]

After my car starts hitting 1 psi it starts to choke. I thinks it's my diverting valve from my turbo but it also has a missfire

[@jaredreynolds4935]

Kik jayradical.

[@jaredreynolds4935]

Your car is awesome. Kinda of why I went vw. I got tired of Honda . That's all they have out here
