*The unofficial VR supercharged reference thread* specs, setups, et cetera

Ok so I think it just needed a good running. But now when you're just regularly driving it's kinda jerky when just feathering the gas. Kinda stumbles when leaving a light too. Any thoughts?

MAF turbulence perhaps

MAF turbulence perhaps

guess so! on all our kits we leave around 25inches space between the maf on surgeside to the chargers. otherwise the surge-airflow is to extreme and the maf is totaly confused

best way to go is. supercharger - 25inches flex hose - maf - 50inches of flex hose - airfilter

...reminds me of going back to my customers mk5 now hehe...

Dont think you really need 2ft between the blower & MAF.
My understanding is that you don't put the MAF right on the filter, and try not to have a bend immediately before the MAF (ie: 90 bend).

Although, this could be a little different for OBD2 mk3s.
My car is an og MAF from the Corrado, so it's really sensitive.

In other news, the weather warming up is really taking its toll on performance
Need to get my meth installed asap. I'm HOPING I'll have time to notch my pulley on the weekend.

I also need to replace a driveshaft that has been torn (and finally worn) after 2 years of being dumped
Starting to get pretty ****ty vibrations coming from it

My filter is right on my maf housing. Could that be the issue? If so I'm effed

Pretty sure that's where mine is Chris. Check it out today tho. Doubt that's the issue

[websaabn]

My filter is directly on the maf, i bet your issue is the maf being too close to the charger inlet.

Have you got a boost gauge set up?
You could also have a small vacuum leak somewhere

[dmoe]

Still have no clue whats going on with mine. Put the proper front idler pulley on, and still acting weird. 12psi pulley, and as i get up to around 3000rpms, its like there is an ignition issue. The acceleration almost plateaus around 3000rpms. boost gauge needle gets up to 5psi and shakes like crazy. Going to start checking things out tomorrow night to eliminate things. Problem started after the car came out of the body shop. Not sure if the filter is full of dust, or dirty MAF. Going to put a new set of plugs in, and try a different coil pack. Not sure what to do really.

sounds to me like you have a vacuum leak somewhere, 9the shaking boost gauge.... is a sign)

[Banana.Phone]

Are you still running the V1 Adam?

The only time it shakes is when i max out on boost. 5psi apparently.....haha..needle moves smooth the rest of the time.

why do you two gotta live so far, would be so much easier to help you out

You should make a trip down to chris's shop this week. We will both be there troubleshooting. Ill pay for your gas. Then we could have 3 boosted mk3 there

[prometheus_]

Don't tempt me!
When were you planning to do that, I gotta change out my driveshaft first

[dmoe]

We are going there tomorrow night but I am sure there will be a few more nights of it. Once I get the car running properly I have to tune in year water meth kit and get it fired up

[prometheus_]

Heh, well I've got another "service call" Monday night
If you guys will be there later in the week, lemme know. I think you both have my number

[Banana.Phone]

I've buys your gas I'll buy your dinner. But I'm telling you right now mister, I don't put out on the first date

[dmoe]

Haaha. Not what I hear Chris. Just imagine. Three boosted vrs in the same place. One that work and two that don't. Haaha. Just come down Adrian. We need your brain.

[Banana.Phone]

We'll make it worth your while lol

Well, Wednesday & Friday I'm free, so if you're gonna be tinkering then, I'll come by

[Banana.Phone]

Works for me!

Ok so cyl 1 on Dave's car. I'm starting to think it's running lean...just a hunch haha. Would it be a bad knock sensor?!

[prometheus_]

looks pretty lean, what plugs are you running and what are they gapped to?

[dirtydeedss]

I am about to mount a fmic on my vr6 corrado with a vf v-9 kit. Am I able to loosen the big vband clamp on the charger housing and rotate it so the outlet on the charger will face foreward? Or is there more to it than that?

iirc you can clock it all the way around, yea

[dmoe]

those plugs are from the previous owner. I think they were around .26 and were the ngk bkr7e. Replaced the with the same gapped to .24

So I think I figured out my car's issue. Pretty sure it's the wiring to the MAF. was coming back from London to and my filter fell off and I ran it over. One more thing to add to my horrible day.

hope you've got a spare

[Banana.Phone]

So I plugged that vaccum line, car drives waaay better but has a "bouncy" idle now

[dirtydeedss]

Thanks!

[VWunion Chad]

Anyone have the AMS V1 kit and would be willing to help me figure a few things out?

[crazysccrmd]

I have one, might be able to help.

So last night I went out and raced a supercharged v6 tiburon and lost. We did a 30 roll and a 60 roll and he won by like 2 car lengths. But then we did a 20 roll and I won.... I can't be losing to a tiburon.
But on the bright side, I should have my water/meth setup working monday.
