 Holding revs between gears (and more q's) I have recently moved from a Nissan GTR to a 97 A4 1.8t 5-spd (mostly for the wife). I found all the A4s I test drove held the revs between the gears in a way I am not used to with any other turbo vehicle. Even MKIV golfs running essentially the same engine were significantly more punchy coming into boost. I assume the A4 is designed to hold revs between gears to keep the turbo spooled. Is the turbo that antiquated that it can't handle the abuse of boost-vent-boost-vent....etc like almost all other turboed cars in the world? Is it because the 1.8 uses a DV as opposed to a BOV? Is there a throttle body solenoid of sorts that slows throttle return? Can I remove it without harm? What boost is considered maximum on the factory turbo and what is the likely point of failure when exceeding that? (yea, I started searching and reading, I really did).  |
