How would check re-circ valve.


I turned up me boost today

I don't know how to check it, I took my uncle out in it (works for Volvo) and he said it sounds like my re-circ is recirculating too much, not an issue but probably losing a bit of boost from it.

Ordered a bluetooth OBD2 adapter and will hook up my Galaxy S3 to it, check whats going on

Fair play.

Hopefully it'll work well, I've read nothing but good reviews from the 'torque pro' app and the OBD2 device looks like it'll do the job well.

I just hope I'm not missing out on too much boost - Still goes like a rocket now though so can't be that bad

Washed car and got my solenoid gasket fitted

[Alex121]

connected up my new £8 Amazon bluetooth OBD2 thingy and got some realtime results on what my turbo was doing whilst driving

Used 'Torque Pro' on Androids Google play store on my Galaxy S3, brilliant bit of software, more figures than you can shake a stick at!

Turbos still boosting spot on at 13psi, although it spiked to near 20 a few times, not sure if it was just a glitch in the app though....

It also recorded this from a standstill sliproad



Best 0-60 was actually 6.88 - Not bad for a second try, hard to get the power down in first gear though with the wheel spin!

Good to know she's running alright though

Wash tomorrow (Cover your eyes GaryS40)

Not bad at all Alex. 15.9 1/4 is a pretty good time!

Wonder how terrible my 1.8 would do in comparison lol

I didn't even notice the 1/4 mile tbh mate! Haha! Was going for the 0-60

Will have to give the 1/4 mile a proper go as I slowed right off after I got to 60mph.

Hard to keep in a straight line doing that on damp roads lol

6.88 is good! Worst thing as you say is controlling the car in such a way that you get off the line smoothly. Look after your clutch though lol.

T4s are all about the mid-range. Ask that BMW 325 driver we left in a cloud of dust lol..

Miss that T4 we had though, brill cars.
