How to check for a vacuum leak in a VW Caddy?
Check vacuum supply from the vacuum reservoir located in the valve cover for leaks. Using a vacuum gauge, wiggle the valve cover and hose connections to check for a leak. The following photo was submitted from a customer working on a 2010 VW Caddy (2K chassis) with this vacuum reservoir problem.
How to increase turbo lag time?
Adjusting the wastegate actuator won't decrease the lag time of a turbo, it holds boost for longer and increases max boost. If you lengthen the rod it causes the waste gate to open later and not open fully. This will cause a heat buildup in the turbo which will kill the turbo.

How much psi of boost is normal?
There's a wide variation, but back in the '90's it was clustered in the 10-12psi range for a typical 4-cyl turbocharged performance model. Nowadays 16-18psi is not abnormal for high performance factory cars.

How do I adjust my boost controller?
Turn adjustment knob CLOCKWISE to INCREASE boost pressure. Turn adjustment knob COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to DECREASE boost pressure (see end of adjuster for correct rotation direction). We advise starting at a lower boost pressure and then working your way up to your desired target boost pressure.
What does adjusting the wastegate do?
It does this by regulating a pathway/door which diverts exhaust gases AROUND the turbine. The faster the turbine spins, the more boost the turbo generates. The more exhaust you divert through the wastegate (the more you open the wasetgate door), the more you slow the turbo down and this is how you lower boost.
Do diesels make boost at idle?
Premium Member The diesel has NO boost at idle. The boost does build up when you work the engine-- at very light throttle and cruising on the highway, you may show no boost, until you add RPM and load the engine. The regular boost numbers for a stock truck is about 25 lbs.
How much turbo boost is safe?
If you have a stock engine, with a compressor that is factory set to produce no more than twenty pounds of boost, you shouldn't modify the system to make it produce much more than 25 pounds of boost. And increase of 5 pounds over stock is probably the limit you should go by.

What causes high boost pressure?
Boost spiking is defined as a momentary overshoot in boost pressure over the desired boost level. Thus, a boost spike results from the boost controller holding the signal to the wastegate actuator / external wastegate for too long.

How do you check turbo boost pressure?
Checking turbo boost pressure This is best done using a vacuum/pressure gauge but can be monitored on your scan tool. If boost pressure is low, check the air flow corresponds. If the air flow is higher than boost pressure indicates, then suspect a leak in the induction tract.
Setting actuator for earlier boost
So with the new turbo I have more lag as per specifications I took the lag as per normal as larger turbo more time needed to spool, with full boost at 2700 rpm But I've read up that boost should be at about 2000 rpm Now here's my thing, how should I set the rod on the actuator to get the boost to come in earlier Shorten it or extend it?

Re: Setting actuator for earlier boost
If it is a VGT it is set to max boost at default and the vanes are only operated to bleed boost if the boost exceeds the set parameters. To get the turbo to spool quicker you will need a tuner to tell the ecu to dump more fuel at low rpms to get the turbo to spool.
