I should have my ECU back from the Unitronic dealer soon, with all the things I need fixed for this thing to run proper. Took care of my exhaust restriction too. My racecar ecofriendly.
It's not how fast you go. It's how well you go fast.
Well then.............. got the exhaust in and took it out for a ride. I managed to reflash my old automatic ECU so I could drive while the other one is getting redone. There must have been something wrong with it because now I got 8psi moar boost!!!!!! Totally different car now. It was quick before but now its reel quick! Can't wait to get my chipped ECU back.

I've been reading the Vag-Com wrong this whole time. I was wrong thinking that it was reading just boost. It's boost + atmospheric pressure. I figured I've had a faulty boost gauge when the ECU has been limiting me at 5 or 6 PSI. It also happens to be the ECU that had Revo's calling card left in the empty space at the end of the EEPROM. I reset all learned values and did a throttle body alignment and now its driving smoother than it ever has. This is how I expected the car to run pre-chip. Takes two hands on the wheel at full throttle , which makes me a little scared to put the tuned ECU in.
