(Turbo Hack) How to get more Boost/horsepower from your Audi For Free🤫 On Any Vehicle

[@luckytech1645]

Can't believe that you've gotten to this level on car enhancement!!! Love the channel.

[@fno8205]

good vid man. just did it. 2.5 turns. it's way faster now on a td04 low pressure. thx :)

[@mddenis1]

Taking Ecu logs is a must after such a procedure! Otherwise you can get over boost and ECU will cut your boost down to a emergency low level. If there is no play and waste gate is tight then more correct way would be to change actuator spring to a more rigid one or install tuning actuator. What's the price for a standard ECU remapping stage1 in the USA now? I my country I paid just 100 bucks for a reliable safe tuning stage 1. I can help getting similar remap for similar price

[@Beardchanics]

Entering next level mods on this one! Kicking ass as usual man!

[@brucecustommotors]

Thank you brother like wise

[@DaytonCarCare]

Just get a high flow cat (HFC) or a test pipe and a tune. That will give you a more reliable HP gain. That rod is pre-adjusted for a reason I wouldn't F with it. I've seen far too many people blow their 1.8t engines, and then I had to do an engine swap for them.

Learning so much from this channel thanks BCM!

[@jonboy194]

I’m still surprised you got that back bolt off... your videos have really come along lately.. great content

[@brucecustommotors]

its not as hard as you think, you just have to hold it with your left hand and hold the bit, so it doesn't fall, its just takes a long time to tighting because you really cant turn it that much, once its broken loose you can use a smaller ratchet.

[@brucecustommotors]

and thanks, for the love and support

[@hayzeproductions7093]

The TDI VW's will trigger a boost higher than normal code and limp mode the car. I would do research for any car before making those type of adjustments because the ECM does have parameters and compares how much boost it is getting, vs how much it calculated.

[@justinharden2346]

That’s what a custom tune is for

[@hayzeproductions7093]

@@justinharden2346 being it is TDI "diesel" I would discourage putting any tune on any TDI car unless all emissions are deleted because it would plug the DPF and ruin the EGR or "both EGR's" since 2009 -2011 CBEA engine model TDI's have 2 separate EGR systems.

[@mattstryder4892]

11:00 correction transverse fsi/tsi waste gate is sandwiched between the turbo and block, can be adjusted from under the car but i wouldn't recommend it unless you hate yourself...ask me how i know lmao

[@NRX-RO]

I managed to ajust the wastegate in a4 b8 by just taking the cat off, it was just enough space to fit my hand and i cut 10mm wrench so it would fit in there but it was a pain to do so. You can run into problems only if you tight the nut so much that the wastegate won't open at all or enough to let it out otherwise the n75 will know how much to open it anyways. I have a air compressor that i used to push air trough the actuator and i saw the difference from adjusting the nut, with the nut at the end it will open all the way, if move the it to the middle of the screw it will open half of that and if you tightened it all the way....well it won't open. Mine was pretty much at the end of the screw and i tightened it until halfway(like you had it in this video before you ajusted it), of course i checked the n75 and the boost after that to make sure it was ok.

[@brucecustommotors]

yeh I Agree, you can loose control, if you do it to much, you definitely need to know what you're doing or have some logs

[@billyestiven7698]

Hey brothers I did this hack but my turbo Is bred new, and now I got boost, but If I want to press all the gas to the end . I lost the boost?

[@bbqsmokefire8558]

On the transverse without removing how can you tell if there's play? Will the rod move slightly? 2.0TSI VW. Thanks in advance. 3" down pipe, air intake manifold, turbo muffler delete on way, and either Wagner or apr intercooler. K04 T23F good for 550hp next order then rods ect to go big turbo.. Gonna be the fastest Tiguan in the states unless someone is hiding one that's built... 😂

[@___t4zdinero]

That's gonna be a beast. You pulling up to cars and coffee ?

[@ViceVersace]

Hello Bruce, is that k04 the stock turbo on that engine? I suppose that’s a 2.0tfsi engine and I thought the 2.0 tfsi comes with the k03 turbo. Also, for a 2.0 engine that exhaust is firing, 3” straight through?

[@brucecustommotors]

Hey bro you’re right k03 is stock with our car and here’s a video on my exhaust set up kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXKopYZ7j5WDppo

[@ViceVersace]

@@brucecustommotors Great work, I’m glad that I stumbled upon your channel. It’s great to see guys from America chose European cars and not follow the usual Jdm path that’s been overused for 20+ years. I watched a few videos from your channel and I see that’s you’ve gone way too far with that thing. Very impressive, keep enjoying your toys and doing what you’re doing. Kudos

[@Slipshodkickitt]

I cant believe i havent thought of this. I have a 12 A5 2.0T 6 speed and I replaced my k03 with a new Borg Warner k03 because of a bad wastegate and actuator rod play. I have a high flow cat, 3" downpipe, 2 resonator deletes, APR carbon fiber intake, GFB DV+, integrated engineering large front mount intercooler,, silicone charge pipes,, silicone throttle body and turbo inlet hoses, and an integrated engineering stage 2 tune. Ive been having this almost misfire feeling when trying to go full throttle in 2nd, 3rd, and sometimes 4th. It feel like horrible turbo lag sometimes. I thought it was a fuel delivery issue with the tune so I did the Autotech HPFP kit and replaced my cam follower at the same time. I just did that last week. Then I got a code for my high pressure fuel sensor G247. So I replaced that today. The code was set after I did the HPFP kit. After all that I still have that bucking/turbo lag. Full throttle and you can hear the car want to move but it doesn't accelerate as fast as it should then you feel the pull and it goes where it should be at peak boost but its not. I never once thought about adjusting the wastegate rod. Ive been chasing this issue for months! I'm definitely going to have to take my turbo out again and do this. A couple turns tighter so it'll hold boost better. Im a certified tech and I didn't even think of this! Thank you for making this video! You may have just saved me from more agony of figuring out wtf it is.

[@brucecustommotors]

My pleasure bro , here for you, and your car sounds like a beast, if your waste gate is extremely loose you can also heat it up and bend it back towards the turn I’ve saved 12 turbos in my buds cars, but that’s only for extreme play

[@rociodeleon6030]

Hi, did adjusting the waste gate fix your misfire problem? I have the same issue when accelerating hard, I have stage 2 and transmission tune from Integrated Engineering.

[@Slipshodkickitt]

@@rociodeleon6030 i haven't done the adjustment yet. I plan to do it tomorrow on my day off at work where all my tools are. When I do it ill let you know. Im planning to do it this Saturday morning. I'll update after I finish and drive it. I also have a slow coolant leak from a banjo bolt on the turbo im fixing at the same time too.

Hello bro you seem very pro. I have a Audi 3.0 BiTDI And I changed turbo because of problems. And now I dont have boost before 1800rpm, also I get a smell of exhaust inside the car. And have just done a DPF + EGR delete. Do you think my wastegate arm on the small one needs to be moved alittle to make it more firm?

[@korey420]

I have a 2012 beetle turbo 2.0tsi e888 gen1 cbfa with a cts ko4.. when I installed the turbo I had to move the waste gate so I could connect the oil lines.. I reinstalled it, I counted threads... Hopefully I did right...lol.. only running 20lbs of boost..

[@DanielChaves1984]

So if I am throwing a under boost code but all my piping and joints are sealed/tight and good then it could be my waste gate is loose? and my turbo may need a rebuild? but could I cheat and say turn to tighten the waste gate would that do the trick to get rid of the play if it turns out to be my waste gate?

[@brucecustommotors]

yes you can try, also what a lot of people do is heat it up and bend it, to fix the play basically compressing it like a waffle maker

[@roderickroderick7216]

Please don't do this. The waste gate needs to be calibrated and the software in your ecu having a matching calibration.

hey bruce, i installed the CTS catchan and added the little breather to it. im still having oil being sent to the turbo intake. it only sends oil on WOT drives. otherwise driving normally no oil is consumed at all and it will stay like that until i do pulls. the car doesnt smoke when driving. it only smokes when the turbo disengages for those 5 seconds then the smoke goes away. if i dont wot and make the turbo work hard, car doesnt smoke period. any ideas? im the 3rd owner at 124,500 miles.

you may have to check if you have some residual oil in your inter cooler, if its not drained, it can keep going back
