I posted this over at audizine, but local Canadians are usually far more helpful than international audi owners.
I have an 03 Allroad 2.7T TIP and I recently put the 91 octane APR chip in it.
Anyways,
The car doesn't drive that well. In fact it's performance has pretty much dropped.
I get serious lag when normally accelerating. the RPM's will spin up to 3000 ish and then jump up and down (+- 300 rpm's) until finally deciding that it will accelerate and then it really has power (like you'd expect) after that. But it's sometimes as much as 4 seconds before any power is applied.
Also now when in fifth gear and accelerating, I basically can't go over 3000 RPM's without this just happening consistantly. Except I don't get power after a few seconds. I just get a wider throttle with no response. (Now that I've posted this at AZ it's happened in 4th gear as well. still more common in 5th gear.)
I'm thinking to return the APR software and get my money back, and get a TIP chip and ECU chip from VAST. That might have to be a spring project.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
An AZer mentioned I should check for any vacuum leaks, and DV leaks, and maybe just.. leaks in general. Could be some of the lines. My dials all show the right pressure, excepting in that I don't have a boost gauge, so I can't tell off hand.
On a side note, I'll be doing the timing belt this weekend with Graeme, and I'm hoping that will clear up a weird RPM jumpiness on idle. We'll see. After watching graeme take apart his AR to replace the turbos, this should be a piece of cake. Buying him a lap-dance should end up in some interesting stories as well - mostly called "Lets play a game called 'Who gets a boner first!'" Strippers aside, while we're in there I'll check for any or all of this that I can visibly see. Probably post some photos as well.
Advice or thoughts are definitely required and welcome.
