Its definitely not a stage 1 car, far too pokey for that.
Aside from this weird little phenomenon everything else seems completely normal in the car, in higher gears it spikes to 10-11psi and tapers to 8-9, boost comes on a little below 2500rpms and there are no weird sounds or hesitations. Its got to be some sort of false reading from the gauge.
The App has 3 settings for the "Boost Calculation Method" MAP, MAF, and ALT. The description says "Select the method used for reading boost (for when the MAP sensor can't read full boost, or when MAF/MAP are not available)" Not sure what that means, its currently set on MAP which seems like it would be the most accurate. :dunno: I think its only happened going WOT in 1st gear, this morning I beat on it in 2nd a few times and it never spiked above 15.
I'll turn on the logging on my way home tonight, are there any specific parameters I should log? Right now I just have Boost, RPM, throttle position, speed, and AFR.
I might also give my shop a call, my buddy is a VW crackhead and might have some ideas. I'm still leaning towards a false reading but who knows, it is a VW. Maybe its just trying to tune itself...
