Hi guys,
Im new to the forum and new to Audi. I had a WRX for a few years and loved it, but this Audi Quattro 1.8T handles a thousand times better and I love it ! Here's my only concern, I don't think the turbo is working properly. The only reason I say this is because it doesn't pull like my stock WRX did. I've only had this car for a week and its got power..... Im going to get a boost gauge and physically look at the turbo in the near future, but I wanted to get some opinions before hand. I've read all over these threads and watched youtube for some answers. The car has power, but not what I know to be "turbo" power. I know a boost gauge will tell me for sure. That will be in about a week. Until then, does anyone have any opinions and WRX versus 1.8T boost ???

Can't tell if serious but anyway....Is the audi stock and what year? The 1.8t makes like 170hp and 200 ft/lbs of torque, and also on top of that the k03 turbo makes all the boost low in the RPMs and is out of steam up top.

Check for boost leaks first and if the diverter valve has gone bad.

If your car is running fine its just the fact that the 1.8t is just plain slow and 500-600 lbs heavier than the WRX.
