Golf 1.4 TSI

Oh yeh.. One thing I don't understand, The TSI GT won't let me rev the engine (while the car's at stationary) more than 4000 RPM.

Why on earth do you want to rev that high at stationary????

Does your car have DSG?

To hear the sound and curious of limiting the rev at stationary.

The probable reason there is a stationary, or "no load" rev limit, is because high engine revs, with no load on those high revs can actually cause accelerated engine wear, and even engine failure!

The reason I asked about DSG, which you didn't answer, is because the "launch control" mode restricts the engine revs to either 3,200 rpm for the 2.0T FSI, or 3,000 rpm for the 3.2 FSI VR6. Other engines may have a different launch revs!

Do u have any idea about how TSI turbo work, say if there's chance of puttin BOV or DV in? something to replace re-circulation valve?

Would it be wise to fit a turbo timer to the GT TSI? If so, is there a particular one to recommend? If there's no need, why not? I've never owned a turbocharged or supercharged car before. I guess with the GT, it ticks both of my 'to do' car list in some ways and then some.

No need for Chavtastic turbo timers. The engine management ECU instructs an auxillary electric coolant pump to run after the engine is turned off. The turbo is actually water cooled.

I think the basic ethos of the TSI will be a little different to either a turbo or a blown motor!
