Smokin Real Bad

[GoNzO]

I recently had my cars (2002 Jetta TDI) ECU done with the UPSOLUTE program (TY SIMON). I also have PP 520s nozzles. I have a boost gauge and today put in the BOOSTVALVE. I am smokin really bad. James Bond smoke screen bad. Can anyone who knows lots about this issue let me know if this is normal. Am I going to have to put larger intercooler in? Am I going to have to find someone who has VAG-COM and turn down the injection amount? I have read various stories about this and only want to hear from those who know. Plus what is max boost I should be setting the boostvalve at? Should I be using the stiffer spring that came with the boostvalve cause I have set the valve at max and min with no change. I know some one on here has close to the same set up as I but his injectors are smaller. Any info on this would be great.
My boost gauge reads 22psi when I floor it. Sometimes it spikes up to 24psi. Other then that it reads 0psi. Not a typo. It really hardly moves in normal driving unless the gas is punched. I did find a kink in my line behind my boost gauge but that was fixed. I really thought the boost gauge would move a little more on normal city driving.
Thanks for those who can help.

Re: Smokin Real Bad

yeah, turn down the IQ (injection quantity). I have a vag-com and am in Hidden Valley NW, if I can help. Could also bring it to work (near chinook centre) if you wanted to do it around noon (my lunch break).

Re: Smokin Real Bad

that 0 psi thing really seems like a leak in the line. possible?

Re: Smokin Real Bad

Like said adjust the IQ setting for the smoke. Adjust your boost valve to you don't spike over 20psi for longevity of your turbo. If you are just coasing you should see 0psi but if you are just cruizing you should be at about 5psi with no load.

TY to those who replied. Stefan you are the guy I was thinking of. I live in Lethbridge and wont be heading to Calgary till...hmmmm...the soonest will be Sunday afternoon. Latest would be Tuesday. I will heading off to BC for vacation. Let me know how to contact you. What do you want for the time taken? Do you know the setting? DO I have to do more searching to find the setting? Let me know and anyway I can help I will.

Thank you again.

Re: Smokin Real Bad

IQ setting is really all about preference (about smoke and power) and will differ for every car. Best o turn it down to the lowest (highest number in the software I believe) and go from there. Do a search on the tdiclub there is tons of info on it there.
